Although it's been nearly 20 years since I collected cards, I still have my Yaz and Dewey collections. I have perhaps 150 Yaz cards and 250-350 Evans (I really don't recall). At one point I was thinking of getting back into this by trying to complete a signed Evans card collection, but soon gave up that notion once I realized what a waste of money it would have been! It would have been fun, though.

David--I think Willey is still in Cherryfield, Maine. I wonder if they still have that faded banner proudly announcing the town as "Home Town of Major League Pitcher Carlton Willey"? I betcha even BOXCAR Willie never had such a proud tribute to his ragged glory.
