One detail that sometimes gets lost is that, u like most knuckleballers, Wilhelm threw a very HARD knuckler. I don’t recall where I read it or who said it, but Wilhelm threw a knuckler in the low...

That Bob Miller card is even stranger than you realize. The Bob Miller who pitched for Philadelphia never pitched for the Cardinals. There is some evidence that Topps was trying to depict Bob L....

I remembered the price because I spent a long time kicking myself for not buying them at that price. Oh well. At least I bought the 1954 Red Heart set from Yeko’s catalogue. He only wanted $5 for...

The cards were actually considered very common in the collecting community ion the 1970's. My recollection is that Bruce Yeko (Wholesale Cards) was offering sets for about $3, and when you would...

Upon further thought, the Fleer cards might have come out a few days earlier. March 12-15 is a safe range. What I do know is that once the Topps cards appeared, around March 20-22, the Fleer cards...

I was eight years old in 1963, and I recall the Fleer cards preceded the Topps set’s arrival by about a week, which would place their arrival at about March 15. Eight year old me thought they WERE...

I started buying complete boxes of each series in 1967. A local retailer offered a huge discount for a full box ($1.10 for a 24-pack box instead of the full $1.20!). I had no trouble getting hold...

Going strictly from memory, I second the observation that the later series rack packs had two blisters of one series and the third one featured the next series. I'll go further and state that a...

Crazy to think that a WWII vet was still pitching long...

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned SF Giants shortstop, the late Jose Uribe, who played under the name Jose Gonzalez at the beginning of his career (due to variations in Spanish nomenclature).
