Thank you. I was checking that out. Here’s another addition to Ruth Pc as well.

Great stuff, guys!

Looks like I won this in REA...

This card has always intrigued me. Certainly, it has to be one of Babe's strangest cards, perhaps rivaled by the Baby Snookums horror. Does anybody know the story behind it? My fertile imagination, being what it is, has come up with different scenarios how this card came to be. One has Babe endorsing a new carrier pigeon delivery service and the shady hombre off Babe's right shoulder is the agent who got him into the deal. Maybe I need a nap.

Was pigeon racing around then?

Given what is written on the back left side, I could not resist. I also have to wonder if the guy was alive until after the 1919 World Series and whether he bet on the White Sox again. Still, one thing that I can get to help the value of the postcard.....a bet in of all places, Atlantic City, NJ. Yawn.

Nothing special, but a nice example of an E102 Germany Scheafer. I'm really liking the horizontal cards and will be working on a small collection of them going forward.

Also picked up this N165 Goodwin Games and Sports of the Hurdle Race card. I have one of the baseball subjects from the set and figured I'd get some more. I like the design on these ones.

Nice pick up Andy, love those horizontal cards.

Finally pulled the trigger on this one. Only a graded pop of 4 of the rarer Factory 25 SC460 (5 after I send it in to SGC). Always excited to tick one off the list for the back run! Over paid, but who doesn't these days?
