The attachments came up "invalid" for me, Raymond. I also wanted to tell you that I believe your Blankenship PC is the first one I've ever seen from that set for which Leon has the album of prototype photos, which are blank backed. I can't swear that I've never seen another of the postcards over the years, it's possible I have, but after I saw Leon's album I was wondering if the PCs ever got produced and distributed. Have you ever seen another? Great card of the man who scouted and "signed" Walter Johnson!

Does the Blankenship actually have a postcard back?

T5 Ty Cobb.
Fielding ideally but would take either pose.

[Spike]

1914 Boston Garter Color (H813-2) - Johnny Evers
1914 Boston Garter Black and White (H813-3) - Hal Chase

...would be a great pair of hits to the type collection

W600 Cobb...……… still looking have $$ or cards to trade.

[Leon]

I would like to know that too. I haven't seen a postcard (or any other picture) from the set.

My White Whale is this card with this same exact centering and image, with 7+ quality corners.



Other whales: t210 Shoeless Joe. Aaron Judge Heritage RC 1/1 and Bowman XRC 1/1.

No surprise here:

1923 W572 Walt Barbare

Somebody prove it exists!!!!

One of many:
1. WWG DiMaggio that I missed on and a board member got at the time
2. a low pop Ty Cobb or Wagner piece (like a w600, rose comp p/c)

There are probably people who could turn that very card into a 7.

A PSA 7 you say?

[mybuddyinc]

Easy answer ... .... Tolstoi Cross ....

Marty,

The PC was on ebay if my memory was correct.

There was a tear in the bottom middle and a small piece of the lower left corner was gone. I saved a copy of the image in an old scrapbook.
