 White Plains Show - Nap Rucker
Almost didn't go to the White Plains show today -- but it was a good thing I did.  There was an autographed T201 Nap Rucker hiding in a binder of an autograph dealer at the show.  I had never met the dealer before, but he says he is there at least every January.  In any event, when I asked if he had any pre-World War I baseball cards autographed by players, he said he had one -- and it was the Rucker.  We quickly worked out a trade -- a couple of my T206 autographed dupes (Doyle and Jones) for his Rucker -- and it was mine.  I took a photograph with my camera phone and then submitted it for JSA/BVG grading.  I should get it back in a few weeks.  My first Rucker has been a long time coming, but it is a beautiful card and I am proud (and lucky) to have it!
