Ruddy Hulswitt Purchase

After scouting prices on eBay for a couple weeks, picking Polar Bear backs and considering my level of funds, I have made my first T-206 purchase.

Ruddy Hulswitt is my first acquisition. I got a nice PSA 3 for cheaper than I expected based on what I've seen for prices. I am happy about it!

Rudy Hulswitt was third baseman and shortstop for the Phillies, Reds, Cardinals and Louisville Colonels over a 12-year career. He is a .253 career hitter. Go here for more stats on Good Ol Rudy. His last game was August 25, 1910 at age 33. He also managed the Columbus Senators from 1915-1916.

He died at age 69 of a heart attack and is buried in Calvary Cemetery in Louisville, KY. You can see his obituary here.

T-206 Cy Young--Glove Showing

I have been watching the prices of T206 cards for a while on eBay. Last night two Cy Young cards, both with glove showing, sold.

An ungraded card sold for $860.
A PSA 4 sold for $1,194.

Not bad for a piece of cardboard!
