Default Perhaps he should have been named David Donlin
Speaking of hands, someone recently pointed out Donlin's hands on this card...I always thought the card had a cool looking pose, but now all I see are his over-sized Michelangelo's David hands (but crudely done). Perhaps this makes the card cooler to me now...?

I guess this isn't necessarily cool but I remember being surprised when I noticed that the Joseph Hall cabinet of Boston was really just Brooklyn, with some help with the heads.

Default George Treadway
Tredway error - I once owned the card without knowing that he was potentially the first African American player. He was run out of Baltimore and compared to Shoeless Joe. Here's a quick reference https://www.baseball-reference.com/b...eorge_Treadway

Default 1952 Bowman Paul Richards?
Anyone know the story of why Bowman made the Paul Richards card look like a caricature? Was this intentional?
