T3 Turkey Red Gallery

I think that the T3's show better out of the slabs.
while other cards it makes no difference
But perhaps because of the size I like these better Raw

I agree. They're also a lot easier to store raw. About 40 of the T3s in my set were graded when I bought them, but all have been cracked out.

I think that they look good in PSA slabs, but I tend to agree with you that they look better ungraded. I've cracked out 19 T3's myself, most from SGC holders (they are just too cumbersome). You can see that all of my scans are of the card only, and I've cropped the holder when graded. Somewhere around 10 of my 33 posted T3 images so far are in PSA slabs. As I said above in the Amby post, the colors scan much truer for me when ungraded.

Nap Rucker

[molenick]

Nap Rucker was a really good pitcher who played on some really bad teams. Despite a 132-132 lifetime record for a Brooklyn team that only finished over .500 his last two seasons (when he was no longer a full-time starter), he received Hall of Fame votes in seven elections. He peaked at 6.4% in 1942 when he finished 31st, which doesn't sound that impressive, except when you consider all 30 players who finished above him are now in the Hall (as well as 15 players who got fewer votes, including pitchers Kid Nichols, Amos Rusie, Red Faber, and Waite Hoyt). Not to say that he was a Hall of Fame player, just that he was still remembered 25 or so years after he retired as being a better player than his record would indicate.
