My collecting days in my youth were short. And, some 40 plus years later, I only have distinct memories of two cards that I absolutely know I owned. One is this Aaron Home Run King card and the other is, oddly enough, the 1974 Traded Fernando Gonzalez. If I had to chose one card to be buried with me it would be that Home Run King card.

I have been reading Howard Bryant's wonderful biography of Henry Aaron "The Last Hero" and I resolved to one day own a signed version of that card.

My favorite signed card, ironically enough given the tacit rivalry with Aaron is this:

Fantastic Mays. I would love to have his sig on a card. I'll work on that while you work on the Aaron. I've actually seen several other copies of the Home Run King card for sale on ebay. I think it was a popular one to have him sign at shows. You'll find one when you're ready.

What series is the Sam Rice from? I really enjoy cards with information like that on the back. As much as I enjoy T206, I wish it had a biography of each player on the back. Especially in 1910, 1920 it's not like someone could just hope on wikipedia and research the player whose card they just received, so that biography is important.

Not technically a card, but as a Big Train collector I was thrilled to be able to pick this up recently! It's one of my favorite things I've ever owned.

That's one of the nicest WaJo signatures I've ever seen, Chad. Somebody on the board has a signed T206, I'm waiting for that to appear here.

Thanks Hank! Coming from you, that means a lot to me. I've been looking for an M114, but when this came along I was blown away. I found out after posting here that a fellow member and I bid ourselves up way beyond where we wanted to be on this, we both dearly wanted it. I only collect one player, the Big Train, so rest assured that this will be treasured and well taken care of.

P.S. I'm very glad that Hakes advertises here or I never would have known about it. That was such an amazing auction for memorabilia.

These cards are listed in the Standard Catalog of Vintage Baseball Cards as "1926 Sports Co. of America Champions." They are also known as "Spaulding Champions." I don't believe they have an ACC listing. They also come with a much scarcer back with advertising offering an album for the cards (and no bio). Here's the link to what Old Cardboard has re this set: https://oldcardboard.com/o/h/sports-...?cardsetID=980
