Who is in the World Series?

Have the Cleveland Browns won a game yet?

I came across this and it made me think of your Oldring.

That does remind me of the oldring funny enough. I did a quick look though on google images and it seems that Konetchy is supposed to look like that at least

Brian - I remember Headless Rube from a long time ago on eBay, circa 2003. Based on the appearance of the backs, this card and several others were burned; the heat caused the weirdness with the pictures.

Hey Bill - thanks for writing and taking the time to dig up those scans. Yep, looks like my Oldring was in with those others you have there. It does have a tiny bit of browning at the top center as well that's consistent with the other back scans you showed. That's too bad. Burned eh? Well, that's not nearly as cool as being able to say "I have a card that has a neat flaw in the photo...". "damaged in a fire..." just doesn't have the same ring to it

But, I appreciate your insight and it's neat that you can remember that group from such a long time ago. Hope all is well with you!
