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!

He played for the Louisville Colonels in lower level ball, which is probably where the nickname originated. Also known as the Kentucky Colonel.

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.
