Oddities
Hey interesting thread. I don't "collect" per se - cards with odd names or unusual nick names. However, I do make note of interesting names or cards and keep a digital copy. Players of note include Specs Toporcer, Whammy Douglas as well as some funny bbcard pictures. Like the '72 Topps of Billy Martin flipping the bird...or the '89 Billy Ripken calmly holding a bat with a cuss word written on the knob......or the '56 Mantle where they obviously modified the crowd to include some fans twice and then moved the ball to make the scene more dramatic.
Makes you wonder - not meaning to derail your original post - what other things were missed in the photos...
