I agree completely concerning rarity. I re-read my above statement and just want to be clear on my thought. The holy grail should have nothing to do, necessarily, with scarcity. My holy grail is the one I voted for....regards

I picked the James Creighton but considered the Anson in uniform.

Does anyone have an image of the Peck & Snyder James Creighton card?

I don't believe I ever saw one before.

Thanks,

Here is the Creighton.

A shameless bump to the top. I find the results interesting and a bit surprising. I thought N172 Anson in uniform would garner over 50% of the votes. Just So Cy Young has some strong support.
