Lot 846
I finally picked up a boston brave ruth . I was particularly pleased that
it was part of the G M collection, a nice frontal shot, and very inexpensive.
Having pre-rookie Johnny Mize in it as well was an added treat. Mize had been
bought by the Reds but was to last only through a bit of spring training before being returned to the cards. It's always interesting to me to see these stars
while they were still 'trying out.' Or,sadly, as in ruth's case, 'trying to stay'.
congrats on your fine acquisitions, fellows!!!
all the best,
barry
