This game was made up because of thefamous bonehead play of Merkle a week earlier. Im not normally a stadium PC collector, but after reading the wright up from REA on it from years earlier... I just had to have it. This copy has a Robert Reis and Co advertisement on the back and has their name on the front of the card unlike the one that sold in REA pls its postally used which validates it more IMO

Hey Brian, I'll "see" your Gassler's Bread pickups and "raise" you this Gassler's HOFer! Now then, about that W504 card of Sam Rice that you surely want to sell/trade me ...!!!

There is an interesting story about this Gassler's card I just received in today's mail for my Sam Rice collection. Last February, I learned that Gasoline Alley Antiques of Seattle, WA, had several Gassler's Bread cards for sale, including a Sam Rice. I contacted them, we agreed a price, and I sent my payment. A few weeks later, Gasoline Alley refunded my payment with the explanation that they cannot find their Gassler's cards - the last time they saw them was when they did a show some weeks earlier - they further explained that if I saw how disorganized their inventory of antiques and collectibles was, I would understand why they couldn't locate the cards - the proprietor promised to let me know when they eventually found the cards, but he did not want to hold my payment indefinitely. Since then, I contacted Gasoline Alley once, during the summer - no luck - they still hadn't found their Gassler's cards. As weeks turned into months, I pretty much lost hope for ever obtaining this card. Then, on December 24th, when I checked my new emails, I had one from Gasoline Alley that reads "Hello Val and Merry Christmas! While cleaning up for our annual Christmas party we found the box with the missing Gassler's Bread cards. We do have the RICE card. We can still honor your offer of $xxx including the insured shipping."

A few tougher to find Old Judges
1.) Blair w/ Hamilton (International League)
2.) Dalrymple w/ Denver
3.) Dolan w/ Denver
4.) Henderson (non-Brooklyn/outdoor Henderson's seem to be much tougher)

Nice story Val

Good to see ethics out there and "my word" still sticks.
