Last week, a friend at Net54 helped me drive the golden stake into a long-running project: rebuild National Chicle's pair of 1936 #81-192 baseball print sheets. While we lack any surviving uncut material from this set, you can use its dodgy edge cutting like a jigsaw puzzle and put everything together by computer or hand. Watch the SABR Baseball Card blog for a future rundown of the whole effort.
This week, the friend (Doug) sent a five-pack of Batter-Up cards to celebrate our achievement! Right in the middle, one of my favorite #5s, Carl Hubbell.
1934 Batter-Up (#1-80) printed cards in several colors and this motivates me to go after all the Hubbell variations. Carl's been part of my Top Five Number Fives since way back and my set profile shows all six ways to find a player from that series. I call this one "black-and-white," so need its more colorful alternatives.
Thanks, Doug!
