No kidding!! Actually before this auction took place, there was some speculation that the standing giant MIGHT in fact, be the great Hall-of-Fame pitcher, Smokey Joe Williams! But alas, after quite a bit of thoughtful research and image comparisons from fellow board members, a consensus was reached that it's probably not he. But the player sitting at far right is definitely Alejandro Oms - a guy with a decent shot at the Hall, someday. I hope.

Another T206 HOFer pickup...

Recently picked up this e90-1 Fromme. It replaces one that I had but went to another member and I couldn't be happier to have another one.

Eat your hearts out guys!

..Took seven or eight years but I finally found another 1933 Worch Cigar Premium of Detroit Tigers pre-rookie Gerald "Gee" Walker , with most all its original gloss and which does not have sixteen pinholes ( 16 !! ) ( I held it up to a light bulb and counted ).......his rookie card had been considered the 1934 Goudey issue......strange but I sort of lean towards preferring to look at the old one --because you can better view that cool old guy up in the stands and his neat hat...
