While it's not a baseball card, it is a 3x6 "card" so I'm including it just for fun!

Back in '81 I attended the end of the "33 Inning Longest Game" on a Providence Journal Press Pass. Just this AM I went up the road to one of the few remaining regular card shows in the RI-MA area & secured the signature of "Walpole Joe" Morgan, who was the Pawsox Mgr at that time.

I now consider my pass "Complete" w/ all the major "players" involved in winning that game.

For those not familiar, I now have the Team owner (Ben Mondor, deceased), the Mgr (Morgan), winning pitcher (Bobby Ojeda), winning run (Marty Barrett), winning RBI (Dave Koza) & the 2 Hall of Famers who played in that game, Wade Boggs & Cal Ripken Jr.

Needless to say, I'm pretty sure this is a unique item & am about 100% certain you won't see another one! It is one of the highlights of all the "stuff" I have!

Thought you might enjoy seeing it!

It's not real until PSA or JSA say so.

Leave it to you 2 to ask those questions, and you already know the answers! LOL!

I wonder just how many Ben Mondor or Dave Koza exemplars they have tucked away, just waiting for my submission!

PS: ALL sigs were gotten in person except one--and a close friend of Cal's got him for me @ a cost of the price of a stamp! I paid $6.00 this AM for Mgr Joe Morgan.

...not only is this one of a kind - this doesn't even exist , per Beckett ''Vintage''

........Obviously one of the late-thirties Goudey Premium Issues ; on the back it says '' Lithographed in Canada'' ; you would think all that would at least point them in the right direction in order to look up the fine details for the label. ( It's a V351 )
.......now I have to go through the hassle of re-submitting plus paying yet another $18 ( they kept the original payment of $18 ) and I have to send Bob Lemke along with the card to show them where in the book to look . And as you know he flies only first class.....

3 of these 4 are uniquely known, as far as I am aware...

This is a great thread, do not let it die!!!

I love the Jim Thorpe card Mr. Luckey. One of my all time favorite athletes.

I have heard people say: "Too bad there is no Joe Jackson in the T206 Southern League Run" ... I just tell them : "There is, it is a true 1/1, and I am the owner"!

"It would would take a very large offer to pry this one away" ...

My blank-backed T206 Donovan was only one known when authenticated by SGC at the 2013 National (and since auctioned via Robert Edwards). Assume it was a test print run that ended up as scrap.

Awesome piece. Congratulations. And I had never heard of this game so now I get to go enjoy reading up on it. Thanks for sharing.

There is a wonderful book written about this game by Dan Barry, an ex-Providence Journal reporter who now works for the NY Times. My sister Carol is a retired Deputy Executive Editor of the Pro-Jo.

Probably other's exist but I have not seen one in full strip form like this one. Even the corners are sharp. Great combination strip with Ruth, Johnson, and Cobb
