Show us your MLB player fan club membership cards
A recent pickup had me thinking that this thread might be fun to see what's out there...
Most of you know that I collect the no-hitter theme.
A few years ago, I bought this Toothpick Sam Jones signed Fan Club card from Jim Stinson. Toothpick Sam was the first African American to toss a no-hitter in 1955. His signature is rare in of itself. To find a vintage Sam Jones fan club membership card was too cool to pass up.
Within the past year or so I purchased this great 1929 WaJo Boosters Club card (that was actually WaJo's wife Hazel's) from net54 board member Hank Thomas (WaJo's grandson).
I found a third candidate for this mini collection a couple of weeks ago on eBay. Here is a Larry Dierker Astro Buddies Club card from 1970. Astros Buddies Club cards each came with a player "Special Buddy". Dierker pitched a no-hitter for the Astros in 1979.
Not a no-hitter pitcher, but I also have a neat Henry Aaron Booster Card from 1973, when Aaron was chasing Babe Ruth's career HR record.
Show us your player fan club cards!
Which ones do you have in your collection?
