Nice Mays cards! Those extra charges are killers. Can’t wait to see the’51 Mays!

Nice addition on the E123. I don't have any. After reading the back of the card, I wonder if any of the cancelled ones ever show up.
Alas, you're going to have to wait until 2025 to make that claim. Shocker played for the Yankees from 1925-1928 during the Twenties, so the MLB Die-Cuts wouldn't have been issued until then. I remember trying to narrow down when my Maranville would have been issued (29 or 30).
Can honestly say I've never heard of or read about this guy before. I'm off to baseball-reference.com to look him up. Nice looking card.
EDIT: Okay, I learned two interesting facts about Chiozza. He was the first batter in the first ever MLB night game. He also was responsible for Babe Ruth hanging up his spikes - as Lou hit what would of normally been a double but the Babe was so slow getting to the ball that Lou almost had an inside the park homer and it was at that moment Babe realized he was done, folded his glove and walked off the field for the last time.
