Well, I've been trying to pick up his cards when I find them...but it's time to put the nose to the grindstone and get um!
I was born and raised in Bluffton, IN...not known for much...our one major source of pride is our huge free street fair lol. However, we were the birthplace of baseball player Everett Scott. He played from 1914-1926, had a lifetime batting avg of .249, was a 4 time World Champion, and was a captain for both the Red Sox and Yankees.
Luckily (well...for my wallet and collection) he doesn't have much collecting love....in total he has 68 cards, 27 of which are variations of the 1916 M-101-5 set (different advertising backs). He has 2 different autograph cards (with a COMBINED print run of 3...I've NEVER seen his autograph except for on a team signed ball at the local historical society), 1 set of printing plates, and ZERO relics (I'm sure most of them have been lost to time).
If you can help me build this set (or know where any of those autographs are). Please hit me up, I'd love to build this little piece of local history!
UPDATE: I looked at the card details for the plates and the earlier 1/1 cut (there was recently one made /2)...apparently SOMEONE on this site had it, but their account was deleted (all that pops up is the word "UNKNOWN" next to the card with a "1" in the HAVE column).
IF YOU KNOW WHO THIS PERSON IS, PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
