Picked up two Parkhurst/Frostade cards of players that I'm in need of...they are much smaller than I was expecting.

Lou Limmer and Harry Desert

totally agree with you on the pink color for the 59s...but I would argue the reverse and say that the pink background T206s are rather austere looking...not sure if that is the right word, but they seem uniquely cool...

I'd probably just have to start a thread on ugliest background colors and/or card designs. I was going to start a poll, but I couldn't think of a real good way to set it up since there are so many colors and I think the design of the card has almost as much influence.

Picked these 1960 Post Cereal cards up today at an estate auction....I love it when nobody but you knows what you're bidding on.

Dan - Those don't look like Nebraska Indians, what's the deal?

Here are some additions to my Joe Nuxhall collection. Thanks to Tony on the BST.
