BrianMy 1911 OBAK Vic Holm cards. A great pitcher who was about to join the White Sox, but threw out his arm in the 21st inning of a triple header in which no one got past 2nd base. It was one of the last times he pitched. He was my Grandmother's Uncle, and I grew up to stories hearing about a "trading card" that was made of him. Thanks to a show in Seattle in 1998, I outfitted my entire family with an "Uncle Vic" card.
Post war is my 1958 Mickey Mantle card that was handed down to me from my mother, who taught me everything I know about the New York Yankees and the benefits of listening to baseball on the radio, living and dying with Penn State football, and life in general before her passing 7 years ago.
