Default Bob Feller - Strikeout King and so much more!

I would see Bob Feller at card shows I went to as a kid in the 1980s. I thought it was a joke how cheap his autograph was, and how he would sign almost anything for anybody. I didn't appreciate who he was, what he accomplished, and just how involved he was in baseball. As an adult I found new appreciation for Mr. Feller, and his achievements as a pre-war/post-war pitcher, barnstormer, business man, WWII hero, players union president, and all around ambassador of baseball. I wish I would have met him when I had the chance.

I have various collections focused on Cleveland Baseball history , and my "Bob Feller Cards and Collectibles" collection is one of my primary pursuits. I still find things I've never seen before with some regularity, and there is healthy competition for many of his rare items. Sharing pics of some of my favorites:
