    Where's Home Plate? Is this like that kid's magazine "Highlights" where you have to figure out what's wrong on the backside?

    Somewhere around 1900 or earlier, I believe.

    Remember those silly cards a few years back that we're little movies when you moved them up and down (Topps Screen Play, I think.) Seeveral of those had full shots of the batter and catcher in game action with the umpires curiously missing. They were obviously airbrushed out. Must be something with image rights.

    The photo was from spring training batting practice. The catcher is coach Bill Lobe. There was as insert that week previewing that years Topps cards.

    Looks like someone is constipated.
    So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts
