Todays mail included this eBay win 1950 Bowman #100 Sammy Baugh. This leaves me two cards short of the full set (still need #5 Y.A. Title RC and #6 Lou Groza RC).
Boy this is a nice example (for me), and still under 10% NM book even after shipping!
Sammy was a charter member of the NFL HOF class of 1963. After football (according to his son), Baugh derived far more pleasure from ranching than he ever had from football, saying that he enjoyed the game, but if he could live his life over again, he probably wouldn't play sports at all. Sammy lived a long life, and died in 2008 at the age of 94.
