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.

Chad, looks like you need to update your signature. It shows that you need Tinker (35). Was this a recent pickup?

This card falls in the category of "have one, but looking for an upgrade". Same with my Mathewson, Lord, & Moran. They all came in lots that I purchased, so I have them but will sell if and when I find cards that are a better fit with the rest of my set.

I'm a bit late to this thread. I don't have many T3's but I'm trying to add more. IMO, each one is like a piece of art.

Gary, I agree this is a beautiful set which is why I started the thread. We're trying to post a card each day in their order in the set so yours are both a little early as we are up to Joe Tinker for today. Please contribute any others that you may have on the day they come up.
