1939 R303-B Goudey Premium Mel Ott ⭐ Legendary Hall of Famer
I'm not sure why these cards and, for that matter, Mel Ott are not more popular. The backs of these cards are phenomenal.
Mel Ott was magnificent and his offensive exploits are largely forgotten by many today.
He was the favorite baseball player of legendary broadcaster Vin Scully and ESPN sportscaster Keith Olbermann.
Mel Ott was a legendary New York Giants slugger who became the first N.L. player to hit 500 career HRs.
He was only 5'9" and used a famous high-leg kick to generate massive power. He finished with 511 homers, a .304 career batting average, and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1951.

1939 Goudey Premiums R303-B, Bill Dickey Sepia ⭐
1939 R303s are great. The backs were groundbreaking and cool.
The back of Dickey's cards instructs kids "How To Catch Behind The Bat."
I'm surprised they are not more coveted by the hobby, writ large.
Oh...and have a great Saturday.🌞

1939 R303-B Goudey Premiums, Bill Dickey. ⭐ Read the back of this card, that's where the party is at.
On August 4, 1932, Bill Dickey returns to the New York Yankees lineup after being fined $1,000 and suspended until Carl Reynolds, the player whose jaw he broke in two places healed and was ready to play (31 days).
Dickey returned with a bang leading the Yanks with four hits, including a grand slam, in a 15-3 Yankee victory over the White Sox.
Short backstory: Carl Reynolds barreled over Dickey, who was blocking the plate, knocking Dickey nearly senseless. As Reynolds returned to touch home plate, Dickey punched him, breaking Reynold's jaw and the rest is history.

Happy Monday friends and card folk, have a great week! 🌞
