I mainly limit my collection to trading and post cards that actually feature a picture of the subject (no Tristar cut-autos for me) but I have to thank Net54 member, Alan Strout, for my favorite item in my Paul Blair collection.

You picked a great ball player in Blair. He was an awesome centerfielder that loved to play shallow. Don’t recall ever seeing one go over his head. If it wasn’t for the beaning in ‘70 I believe he’d have been just as dangerous as a hitter. By the way; he was a very nice guy to boot.
Man, the English Chicken Lid is AWESOME! What a great guy Alan is...
