Cool thread and great cards as always! I'm a few days late to the party but here's mine for the day. I'll start off with my favorite pre-war card/pose:

[Kawika]

1950 Boy's Shonen premium of Kaoru Betto, Japan Hall of Fame outfielder for Osaka Tigers and Mainichi Orions. Later noted for his image being sported on Jeff Bridges' t-shirt in The Big Lebowski. Card is about the size of a T3.

T201s are annoyingly tall, but you can still display them in a binder. I put mine in cardsavers, take a sheet of card stock and cut out a hole the size of the card saver, and then glue some corners down to keep it in place. Slip the whole thing in one of those full-page protective plastic sheets. You can store them in the binder, keeps the card protected, and you can see both sides.

[GasHouseGang]

A new card for a new day.

That Jim Thorpe card, PSA 5. Wow ! Very nice. Looked at getting a copy while ago, gave up. But now ... want it, want it, want it.

[Exhibitman]

IMO one of the nicest designs ever.

I can see why. That look speaks a thousand words. Really cool.

[DeanH3]

Really cool thread. Thanks to everyone for sharing. Seeing the variety of cards is amazing.

My contribution for the day.

Wanted to circle back to this one. Fantastic card Chris. One of my all time favorites. When you find a card, like yours, with bold colors, it is really striking. Watch out though. You'll find yourself wanting more with different backs. LOL Well done.

I think this is kind of a scarce card...

Nice DeVore Val!

I like that some Japanese items have made it to this thread, so here are two 1923 photos that I dig (I Masuda and S Tanabe).

King Carl. The Meal Ticket. In the 1934 All Star Game played at the Polo Grounds, Hubbell struck out five future Hall of Famers in succession: Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx, Al Simmons and Joe Cronin.

Highpockets Kelly.

The rarer Brooklyn variation.

This is an advertising piece that was issued to promote both Base Ball: 1845-1871, Volume 1 by Seymour Church (usually called "the Church book") and a full-size Waddell picture (presumably without the advertising copy). I was wondering why Church chose Waddell to use (and why he was pitching with Los Angeles after already being in the majors for a few years) and the answer can be found here https://sabr.org/bioproj/person/rube-waddell/. Basically it was a contract issue coupled with his popularity in California (the book was published in San Francisco).

New day, new card. Apparently Evers was a redhead.

[Kenny Cole]

Probably the favorite card in my collection.

Those Cuban cards...Let me say this with an unblemished record of staunch heterosexuality

And a feisty one as well.

+1 on those Cuban cards. They are so cool! Here's mine for today. Hope you all have a "mello" weekend:

A card of Luke Appling, from the year he led the majors in batting average (.388):

I love the way you're just casually dropping these insane PCL cards on us, Ed.

Beautiful piece!

[molenick]

Thank you. I always felt bad for the catcher...I'm sure his parents would have preferred it if they let him pose with the mask on top of his head.

This D381 of Richard Egan is a long time participant on this board, but he has decided that now is the time to haunt this thread.

New day for me, new card...

Gotta represent my Jersey City Skeeters. Also my first ever T206 20+ years ago.

Thank you Dean! Collecting T206 HoF cards is definitely a...I don't know if problem is the right word, but I do know I feel the need to hide my laptop while drinking now.

If you'd told a 12 year old me that I would one day own a Cy Young card, I would never have believed you.
