What a pretty 52 card. The Boggs RC always makes me smile-- love the colors on it and I have a vivid memory of a kid named Andrew in my 1st grade class bringing one in and showing it to me.
Stumbled across this insanely centered Ted Williams last night on eBay. Was priced above all 3s but under the 4s so could not resists, as I have wanted this pair of cards in my collection for a long time.
1941 was one of the coolest seasons in baseball history. "56" and ".406."
That they both achieved those miraculous feats in the same year, and have two beautiful cards in the same set from that very year, representing the two classic divisional rivals, is just so cool. In having our collections tell the story of the game, I think the 41 Play Ball Joe D and Ted cards are up there with having a Shoeless and Cobb, or a Gehrig and Ruth pairing; some players just have entwined legacies.
