For those of you who don't know, MacArthur was arguably the greatest American General of all time!

Awesome!! Congrats on the win. I cannot get enough of WWII stuff, so seeing a card like that is just amazing.

Big win for a cut auto/history collector

Very cool! Looks like the seller cut the gamma/contrast up on that scan. Hopefully, it wasn't done to disguise severe fading.

Nice Ruth in your sig, also.

That's not a MAJOR win; it's a GENERAL win.

When I worked at the Pentagon 10 years ago, I often worked mid-shift (11PM-7AM), and I would take every opportunity to just walk the vacant hallways and study the things on display. I remember both Macarthur and his father's Medals of Honor on display side-by-side.

Congrats on the pickup!

Arguably for sure.
He's definitely top 10!
Other names come to mind before MacArthur. Washington, Grant, Lee, Scott, Pershing.

Great card, great piece of history! Congrats on the addition.

Thank you. I would say Top 5. I give you Washington and Grant.

Very cool card. Just out of curiosity who would be the other top ten? I can only name Patton and Custer, but since I only know of Custer because he lost, I doubt he is one of them.
