1921 Exhibits A. Earle 'Greasy' Neale ⭐ Reds Great
One of the all-time great athletes from the early 1900's and a very scarce card.
Alfred Earle "Greasy" Neale was a legendary sports pioneer, recognized as the only person in history to play in a Major League World Series, coach a team in the Rose Bowl, and be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
As a multi-sport athlete, he starred in college basketball, played early professional football alongside Jim Thorpe for the Canton Bulldogs, and spent eight seasons as an outfielder for the Cincinnati Reds, leading them with a .357 batting average during the infamous 1919 "Black Sox" World Series.
He later cemented his football legacy on the sidelines, coaching Washington & Jefferson College to a scoreless tie in the 1922 Rose Bowl and leading the Philadelphia Eagles to back-to-back NFL Championships in 1948 and 1949.
Famous Nickname: Neale revealed it actually originated from a childhood name-calling match in Parkersburg, West Virginia. After Neale poked fun at a neighborhood friend's untidy appearance, the friend fired back by calling him "Greasy" because Neale had briefly worked as a grease boy in a local rolling steel mill. The moniker stuck for the rest of his life, to the point that he refused to change it even when Ivy League officials at Yale later asked reporters to refrain from using it.

Best #TeamUsa set ever. So glad I got this one in paint.

1936 R312 Ernie Lombardi ⭐ Legendary Hall of Famer
I didn't know much about Ernie Lombardi until I saw this card.
After learning that Ernie Lombardi was one of the greatest hitting catchers in baseball history, I knew this card was coming to it's forever home.
Ernie was an imposing physical presence known for his massive hands, historically slow foot speed, and unmatched bat control.
He won two batting titles—a feat unmatched by any other catcher until Joe Mauer—and he caught both of Johnny Vander Meer's historic back-to-back no-hitters in 1938.
PSA has graded only 24 examples of this card. Only three are in PSA 6 holders and only one is graded higher than this one.

2021 Leaf Art Of Sport Enshrined Exhibit ⭐️ Pete Rose #2-2
Pete Rose has been a polarizing figure in baseball.
His baseball prowess, skill, and accomplishments are among the greatest of all-time.
My sense is that in time, he will be elected to the Hall of Fame.
I just don't think the voters are ready to place him there yet.

1933 Goudey #74, Eppa Rixey RC ⭐ Hall of Famer
@rookiecardprices Here's a pitcher you may not have thought about in a minute.😎
Eppa Rixey was one of the premier left-handed pitchers of baseball’s early era compiling 266 career wins over 21 seasons.
He held the N.L. record for career wins by a left-hander until surpassed by Warren Spahn in 1959.
A rare college-educated star of his generation, Rixey also served in World War I.
