Just got this today — super happy to add to my pre-war collection. While Wiltse is not a HOFer, his is an interesting story! This Giants pitcher was nicknamed “Hooks” because of the movement on his curve ball. (His older brother also pitched in the majors — Snake Wiltse!)

Hooks’ 10-inning complete game no-hitter in 1908 still remains a Major League record. Plus, I love that the slab label says “Both Ears Show.”

Give these old cards a look the next time you consider spending $55 (the cost of this 114-year-old slab) on a mega box or on a random prospect card numbered to /99.

Have always had a love for pre-war game cards. Not only an affordable way to get cards of greats of the game, but the fact that they had a purpose for entertainment makes them super fascinating.

First lefty to throw a no hitter for the Dodgers organization. Does anyone else have a non hall of famer that they collect?

Few Cobb items I have. Looking to add a few more at some point.
