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 http://www.baseballhalloffame.ca/index.cfm?sitename=news&newssub=induction , I realize Pop is indeed making it. It's also good to see local (Vancouver) legend trainer Hal Younker make it.
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.
