Through some great people in our hobby, I was put in contact with the Louisville Slugger Museum in Kentucky. They are having a special Topps Display in their Museum this month, entitled,
"Topps Pop Culture: Homeruns To Hollywood."
Among many classic cards, there will also be:
+ Luke Skywalker's light saber
+ Indiana Jones' whip
+ Elvis' scarf
+ Adam West's Batman costume
+ Ringo Starr's drumsticks
+ Christopher Reeves' Superman costume
+ Jobu from Major League
And among all the cards they could have chosen when it came to the 1952 Mick, including 8s with the usual tilt and centering issues, they selected this guy below for the exhibit!
It's an honor and thrill to help a company that has been so integral a part of our national pastime, and also to help any young people who visit the museum gain some exposure to vintage cards and legendary players.
If any fellow board members are in that neck of the woods, please feel free to check it out and show that vintage cards are a draw! The display runs from this Saturday through October. The card will be there thru June.
