Hi I saw this 19th century cabinet in a recent auction,but could not determine who the player was,I thought he was pitcher with the same ears, but he is has ,what looks like, a catchers mit,thought they wore small gloves or nothing at all, great pick up.!!!!! trivia time who was the last ball player to play with out a glove?

[jbonie]

Bid McPhee????

Bid McPhee????

you are absolutely correct . who holds every basketball record at the University of Cincinnati, not the big O, this player was a great star in another sport?

Not sure I follow the question... are you asking aside from Oscar Robinson who holds the most basketball records at UC? Big O owns a ton of them there.

Nothing gets by you, Jay !

On the uniform vs. caption question, I decided to follow the caption for my collection. One positive side-effect...saves me from having to chase a bunch of Ruth cards that say "Yankees" on them!!!

You are so right,it is confusing, aside from the big O,this man holds every scoring record per game and per season at the University of Cincinnati, but,is really well known in another sport.

Happy to pick up this one, although it puts a dent in the budget...

Great pick up Jon. I believe I used to own that very card years ago!

[jbonie]

Wow, a Joe Jackson, here on this very board! Congrats! Big-time!

[sabrjay]

Gratz. Nice pick up. Not sure I could own one unless the red is actually on his lips. It's a registration problem that I have a hard time getting past.

Way to go, Jon - that's quite a pick-up!!!!

[cccc]

that went for a very affordable price imo. the card has taken a hit recently but it's still a glamour card in the hobby.

funny about this hobby...4-5 years back the e90-1 joe jax was similar in price with the sporting news rookie. now the jax has gone south while seemingly the ruth has 2x-3x. what happened?

[LucasRiley]

Nice little trifecta to get back in the groove, including a HOF'er and the only man ever to factor in five pitching decisions in one World Series!

[canjond]

Thanks guys. And I agree, the card has taken a hit recently. I really thought the time to buy the card would be now, because I really don't see it falling more than it has as of late. I also fear (or I guess, now hope) that after the e-card market rebounds, it will propel the card much higher than it is.
