Posted By: <b>Max Weder</b><p>Pop Smith was born in Digby, Nova Scotia, 10 miles from where my spouse grew up. If that fact doesn't make some board member take pity on me and offer a card of Pop, then I am lost. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />Max

Posted By: <b>john/z28jd</b><p>Max i feel sorry for you being married to someone from Canada so ill let you know that gfg.com has a Pop Smith listed as vg/ex for $305<br /><br /><br />Ive bought many cards from him,great guy to deal with,quick shipping.<br /><br /><br />I would sell you mine but then i wouldnt have a complete Pirates set anymore and that would make me sad till i replaced that card,then curious as to why i did it,then sleepy from thinking too much

Well, since I am also from Canada, no doubt you will have further expressions of sympathy for me.<br /><br />However, I can assure you (as can all my friends who have met Jennifer) that I came out exceedingly well in this regard.<br /><br />With respect to Pop, I couldn't see that gfg.com still had one for sale, but another board member has graciously come to my aid.<br /><br /><br /><br />Max<br /><br /><br /><br />

Posted By: <b>john/z28jd</b><p>I was just joking about the wife,basically twisting your words but i am glad you got the Pop Smith card.GFG has him listed as Pap not Pop,and not in alphabetical order,he goes by the widely accepted checklist.<br /><br />Did you get the Pittsburgh version of his card or the Boston?

Posted By: <b>Max Weder</b><p>Mark<br /><br />In hindsight, that must have been my subliminal motivation (can I pass it off by thinking I was looking for a card of Hilton Smith?). However, when I visited the Canadian baseball hall of fame link here <a href="http://www.baseballhalloffame.ca/index.cfm?sitename=news&newssub=induction" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.baseballhalloffame.ca/index.cfm?sitename=news&newssub=induction</a> , I realize Pop is indeed making it. It's also good to see local (Vancouver) legend trainer Hal Younker make it.<br /><br />Actually, my spouse really was born in Digby [Pop's birthplace, for those too tired or bored to read the earlier posts on this thread]. She grew up in Bear River, the Switzerland of Nova Scotia, but perhaps better known for its abundance of a certain cash crop. Her dad played senior league ball in the Annapolis Valley for a number of years, and I thought buying a Pop Smith card with the local connection would assuage her concern about the growing number of cards creeping into the bookshelves.<br /><br />Max<br /><br />
