First pull success was 85T Gooden & I was stoked to buy Reggie RC about age 25. First dream card was 56T Jackie, which I bought closer to age 35.

Fellow Gen-Xers (and only those old-heads from the X Gen)…help me with a project I gave myself: what was your dream card growing up?

One way the game's changed since their day: Cicotte pitched 269 innings in 1912 with an excellent 1.084 WHIP, but allowed zero homers. One century later, Kershaw won Cy Young & MVP, notched his unreal .857 WHIP in a pitcher's home park, and still allowed 9 homers.

Mathewson retired in 1916 and this set came out no earlier than 1920, so "Ex-Giant" is loose dating indeed. Mathewson's delayed inclusion implies Eddie might've appeared on these cards well after his post-1920 Black Sox ban.

1921-ish W516-2-1 #27 Christy Mathewson "Ex-Giant," miscut to show it sat right below W563 Lincoln. The red/blue print run on these first two cards feature more color than muddier red/black printings for the same sets, perhaps a year later.

“It could be worse,” a Colts employee said to me on my way out, “you could be could be covering the White Sox.” “I do that too.” “There’s a bar down the street.”

@masapequaparkng 100% true. I’m short a Goudey Gehrig and watching its price zoom up in last few years has been 😮🤯, even if I could sell something to get one.
