Damn Danny. Those are sick. The depth of your collection leaves me speechless!

Thanks! I have to dig sometimes as the older things that I need get really expensive. Some I will probably never put down the money to complete, but that's okay!

I believe Ms. Donahue was the Secretary to the President of the Cubs and would eventually move up the ladder to higher positions within the team and the league. I knew her nephew and he had some pretty awesome stories about her.

Nice oddball pickup!!

Yep. "Midge" was a pioneer as the first female in a baseball front office. She was the first person to create season tickets too! Mr. Wrigley had a lot of faith in her and reportedly her opinion on free agents was highly valued. She lived in my town, Huntley, and is buried here. The Cubs created a park for her a few years back. The photo I picked up is from a 1931 Cubs Picture Pack.

Hey everyone... would love your opinion on this card. I picked it up MANY MANY years ago in a trade deal with other cards and I just set it aside not to think about it anymore.
When I got it, I wondered if it was "too good to be true"... again, I put it aside and never thought about it until recently when I went through my cards. Thanks for your opinions.
PS: it's not a reprint 100% sure on that.
