Eights the Hard Way...
'The Chairman of the Board' has always held a special place in my heart, because we both spent our early years in Astoria, Queens, so I was happy to pick up this cool
1960 Topps #35 Whitey Ford card. Let's face it, the
1962 Topps #28 Minnie Minoso, is a god-awful headshot of the newest Hall of Famer. The look of puzzlement on his face coupled with the gallon of India ink Topps used to black out his cap makes it the exact opposite of 'good eye appeal.' But, heck, for a total of $27, I grabbed it. And now for a pair of guys,
1968 Topps #410 Fergie Jenkins and
1968 Topps #50 Willie Mays, who are able to make burlap look like a thing of beauty!!
