Sorry for any recent drama here. Not my thing, just hard to not say anything sometimes. I know giveaways can be annoying too but in getting back to the cards, i’ll give away this M114 Christy only to current followers so no need to follow, RT. Just like this if you want it.

Been after a Cicotte card in a White Sox uniform. Happy it came from one of my favorite sets. Cicotte was of course part of the Black Sox team and threw the first pitch that hit the Reds leadoff man to say “the fix is on”. This will be freed from its tomb and get a tux soon.
