Always love a good strip card. This Collins has an interesting miscut, that left a very cool piece of the sheet it came from indicating the card comes from a set of 20.

My latest pick up! A well loved 1900 W.D & H.O Wills “Sports of all Nations” America card. Had this on my radar for a while. Glad to have finally landed a copy.

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.
