Shellacked (this is for Pete :nahnahnah: )

OK, Who else has shellacked cards? I also own a E93 Clarke that is shellacked but no scan.

Who needs a platic holder when your card is shellacked?

Now, now. If this was REALLY for Pete there'd be a long-winded Goodwin & Co.-type writeup for that card.

This impossibly rare antiquity bears the immensely popular image of Devore holding his famous 32 ounce hitmaker. Showing only the lightest signs of loving wear - evenly distributed on the four extremities of this cardboard fantasy - this specimen is all the more valuable for its almost-never-witnessed red Hindu reverse. The slight disturbance to the reverse surfaces do nothing to diminish the desirability of this gem. The image shows striking contrast with Devore adopting his famed split-handed batting grip on the freshly-mowed emerald grass against a backdrop of grandstands peeking through the early morning mist. Devore's intent stare seems to challenge the great pitchers of the day, calling out "What the f@*k are you lookin' at?" This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a piece of history. Bid accordingly.

Blair, all you need to add is that "it would rightly find it's place in any world-class collection" and you're good to write copy in my book.

"Bid accordingly." had me laughing out loud.

nice Blair...I think Huggins has a job with your name on it!!!! great card, Lee...well not really...but thanks for thinking of me!

Oh and Blair...isn't Devore's first name Josh? Maybe he was jewish...definitely worth including in the description!

Putting the thread back on track. I've seen a ton of shalacked baseballs, but I don't think I've seen a card in person. Was there a reason behind doing this?
