I am now perusing my copy of VCBC issue #12...Aaron Seefelt is offering a cobb w/cobb back...pls call...Our own Barry Sloate has 7 uzits and 1 red hindu donlin batting for sale...the donlin is $250. An article on REA's record setting auction where a crease free Wags sold for $119 and a 14' Balt Int'l Ruth for 27K...as well as the 5 cobb/cobb backs...what an auction!!!!

As well as a great article on 19th c trade cards...overall a great issue...chock full of great stuff...BUT...there is no mention whatsoever of the image gracing the cover.

Sorry, but in the immortal words of Bluto Blutarsky, "nothing's over... 'til we say it's over."
Not Wagner... not Tinker... but either Honus O'Brian or Honus Harrelson.

NOPE! But I must admit, that threw a monkey wrench in my thoughts at the time. I just found this; apparently, a lot of different pennants those years featured the same image (link below). Tinker never played for the Braves.
