For what it's worth imagine Ten Million roaming the outfield a century ago.

Hi David,

Thanks for the Kudos, appreciate it! I have to say your collection is very strong hopefully one day my set could be just as nice. I really like the Ten Million you own and your right the Victoria Bees cards don't come up very often.

Just one thing, I think you made a mistake by saying the Vancouver "Giants" I'm pretty sure they where called the the Vancouver Beavers. The Giants was the Seattle team if I'm not mistaken. I believe the Portland Beavers had the same team name.
