Gosh, there have been so many crucial acquisitions this year! I haven't recovered from my most recent tho. I look at it daily. It completed my set.

Well, it completed a subset of my set.

The set is: the highlights of baseball in 1936. And in that year, one of the things which occured was that (ho-hum) more players hit 50 or more doubles than any other year. ie. 1936 is "the year of doubles" in the 20th century.

I chose to portray this with Batter Up cards. Although several are difficult in nice condition, Medwick is particularly troublesome. This set also lets you include cards with different colors. Of course, I am still in the process of adequately portraying the diversity of the batter up colors in conjunction with the main focus of this 1936 subset.

In any case, the Medwick card took me over two years to acquire. And if it wasn't for a conversation with Brad Green of this board (about a different subject), I wouldn't have it yet.
