1936 R312, Rogers Hornsby ⭐️ GOAT, 2nd Baseman
The hobby should not undervalue the power of "The Ra-Jah".
Over his 23-year career, "The Rajah" established himself as arguably the greatest right-handed hitter in baseball history. He ended his career with a .358 lifetime batting average, which is the third-highest in MLB history.
He won the Triple Crown twice!
Rogers Hornsby batted .402 over 5 years from 1921-25.
Rogers Hornsby is the only player in Major League history to hit 40 or more home runs and bat .400 or better in the same season. He accomplished this historic feat in 1922 with the St. Louis Cardinals, finishing the year with a .401 batting average and 42 home runs.

This is my only vintage card of Rogers.

1936 R312 Pastels Floyd (Arky) Vaughan & Hans (Honus) Wagner ⭐
This was my first Honus Wagner card.
Yesterday, I hand delivered it to PSA for grading and encapsulation.
I don't card what grade it gets. I just want to display it and look at it.

1936 R312, National Chicle Premium Pastels ⭐ Connie Mack & Lefty Grove
This card boasts two legendary Hall of Famers in one card.
As I got older, my definition of beautiful cards expanded.
I came across these cards about 6 year ago and I was smitten by the pastel accented photographs. Some of them even appear cartoonish.
I chased this particular card for a long time before finally landing this example and I'm delighted.
If you've never held one of these, in hand, I would encourage you to do so. My feeble photograph does not do justice to this magnificent card.
