For example, Pickles Dillhoefer played in just 8 games for the 1918 Phillies. His only baseball card is included in the 1919-1921 W514 "strip card" set. (So called because the cards were sold in strips.) Pickles' only official baseball card is now officially my white whale. I will own this card one day. Oh yes, one day Pickles' strip card will be mine. (Didn't think I'd ever write that sentence, but there you have it.)
In any event, until the day the 1919 W514 Pickles Dillhoefer card enters my Phillies collection, I now have a Chachi Original to tide me over.
