I'm sick of all this damn money talk; let's have a virtual card show

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).

Just a little Monte Pyfl makes the D310 Pacific Coast Biscuits go down.

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.

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).
