Leon, I assume that Hugh's name being cut to the top is the issue? :-)

Saw a similar packaging issue inside a dealer case at the National. Met Ott sure looks a lot like Jim Tobin!

Speaking of the National, I finished a pair of Universal Toy & Novelty Co boxing sets and almost finished a couple of other strip issues with this acquisition.

Biggest pickup for my T205 HOF set.
Good looking card with an off center gold border and a scratch on the front.
Brings my EGGS up to 89

EGGS patrol on the beat, will update your number on the T205 thread. Nice Cobby!

Spike,

Was the dealer trying to sell that card as a Mel Ott card and pricing it as such. It's clearly not a HOFer card like the tag says.

Yep, labeled and priced like the HOFer. While I moved to other places, it's possible someone challenged them on it. It was the sole 1941 Goudey they displayed and I expect they knew too little about that set to spot the error.

Jim Tobin is a below the borderline HOF candidate at the best. But the player on the "Mel Ott" card is actually Bill Crouch, who had a real slender, non-HOF MLB career, and missed the 1942 through 1944 years in organized ball, probably because of WW2 military service(?).

The card is, however, the first 1941 Goudey print on top I remember seeing that has a different player on top, so it does have that going for it.

Grabbed this on Wednesday morning at the National literally within the first 10 minutes of walking in the door:



I also had about a dozen cards re-holdered at PSA including these beauties:

Yep, my error on calling him Tobin. It's the Bill Crouch card, as you said. Of the wrong-player labels I've seen, at least one connected these two players, just without Ott's name.

Al would like to invite Hugh to the 1941 Goudey "Up-Top" crew.

Not new, but what can you do, except provide another messed-up card in a different hue.
