Hope it wasn't anyone here but as quick as that card was bought, the buyer didn't look over it for too long. It was bought 2 min and 26 sec after it was listed.

Fake Lajoie
Looks like something I would do, but no, it wasn't me. I have the fake font down on the T206 reprints. Early photos and cabinet cards, I can still be fooled.
Btw, I call this guy "La Joy", but have heard many people use the French pronunciation "La wah ju eh". Does anyone know how people pronounced his name in the period?

I heard on an old video playing at the HOF around 1991, they were saying his name "Laa-shu-way...I guess that is how you would sound it out. The first part would be like the "la" in "lap" and the middle part sounds like the word "shoe" with emphasis on the SH

Lajoie
Not long ago there was a NASCAR driver named Randy Lajoie and he pronounced his name in the Americanized "La Joy".
At card shows down South I'm going to still call him Nap "La Joy", if I ever go back to the National or Eastern shows I will say " Lah shoo weh"
