Picked up this small pin recently of Hinkey Haines. Wikipedia says he is the only person to win both a World Series and NFL Championship. He played for the Yankees in 1923 when the won and the NY Football Giants in 1927.

I don't believe Mr. Haines has a football card of any kind from his playing days.

Picked up this large image of HOFer Fats Henry recently.

Here’s an uncommon photo of the 1893 Princeton Championship Football Team. This photo contains all but one (Morse) of the Princeton players featured on the 1894 Mayo Cut Plug card set.

Nice snag, Mark! Between this photo and the Yale album you posted a bit ago, you are on a major roll.

Congrats on picking up some fantastic items.

Jeff,

Thanks, but I’m done collecting. Or at least that is what I’ve been telling myself (and my wife) for the last five years.

Congrats again on the Henry. It looks kinda familiar :-)

Cheers.

Mark
