Woke up this morning to find I was the owner of this Type 1 Coupon cigarettes card of Frank Chance. Only the 2nd example of a Type 1 I have ever owned. When I went to bed I didn't think I had a chance to win it because cards like this are not in my collector budget, but sometimes these things just work out. Happy to have it.

Nice cards, Wazoo and Jonathan, where did you find those? I have an example of each, and both were very difficult to find.

Great cards guys...agree with Rob...that Krause is rare...Jerry

The way prices have taken off, glad to have grabbed this guy. Low grade, but still very presentable, and didn't have to shell out $15K.

Frank Arellanes-

Along with Sandy Nava cited as one of the first Mexican-Americans to play in the Major Leagues. His most productive season came in 1909, when he recorded 16 wins with a 2.18 ERA as the replacement of Cy Young in the pitching rotation, leading the American League in games finished (15) and saves (eight).

Born in Santa Cruz Ca. he died at age 36, a victim of the 1918 Spanish influenza epidemic.

I won mine in Board Member Any Sandlers Auction. I think the Krause came from the same source. I know it has a tack hole but I will happily trade it for the heavy creases that I have seen on most of these. Especially for an example of a Hall of Famer. Having handled a few of these the card stock is very thin and fragile. Much more so than a T206 or the type 2 and 3 Coupons.
I also picked up a set of 1968 Oakland A's photos/ postcards that included a Reggie rookie. That I hope to get signed.
