Congrats on the W575. I had at least one of the bids on your card and would've liked to have it, but I wasn't responsible for running you up.
I'm curious how many people out there would consider themselves to be Sisler collectors. I'm one. Apparently someone else consigned the Sisler collection to Al. Anybody else want to admit to collecting him?

I am not a Sisler collector. I do collect Ichiro cards and see this as pairing something unique to that part of my collection. Their bond in baseball history is incredible. I encourage anyone to read up on how Ichiro visited Sisler's grave after breaking the record. A class act all around.
I see Sisler as often overlooked and under appreciated in baseball history. He didn't get to 3000 hits, but look at what he did during his peak. Dude just hit and did not stop!
So many of his cards depict him fielding or throwing, which are all great cards, but a hitting image is choice #1 for me if it is available.
