Okay, so those who know my collecting habits...Dick Porter is a focus. With only two main cards, it's limited to chase so I always look for oddballs, mis-cuts, etc. so why is this copy my favorite (out of roughly 60 copies of this card including a PSA 8)? The era handwriting on the back. Sure, it's not Dick's handwriting, but it shows clearly the team transition after was traded from Cleveland to Boston in 1934.
1934 he was traded to Boston.
1935-1936 he played for the Newark Bears (Yankees)
1937-1940 he played for and managed the Syracuse Chiefs (Cincy & Pitt.)
So this example shows a gradual following of Dick's career from 1934-1937, edited for each year.
