A Fordham college leather from the 1910s

 Hi y'all! It's been awhile since I've posted, but I haven't stopped collecting. 

In February 2024 I joined the collecting group Old Baseball Cards, which blogger Bo is also a member of. It's a great group - I've received a lot of generosity from its members. 

Part of the reason why I haven't written about the cards I've received from its members is because for awhile I was overwhelmed by all the great cards people were sending me - a good problem to have. (Another reason is that for a long time I didn't have an easy method of uploading pictures to my blog - a problem I just solved.) 

Now that I have some time in summer, I want to gradually go back and show some of the cards people have sent me.

There's a section in the group called waivers where people give away cards, and in December 2024 I received off waivers from Jake Elwell an L20 Fordham college leather. 

According to COMC, the leathers were issued from 1910 to 1912 by the American Tobacco Company. They're very nice.

I was happy to get one of Fordham because my grandpa and uncle attended college there.
