Hi Chad,
No, I can only dream that he would have lived long enough to tell me that; or what the seventh game of the world series was like for him; or how to throw that slingshot fastball of his, among many other things, but it wasn't to be. I do know that the only card he saved in his little pre-marriage scrapbook, which he soon tired of trying to maintain not long into his career, was a T206 portrait. His wife Hazel, who was a fantastic scrapbooker, pasted several cards into them, but I think those were probably incidental items that people sent or gave to her--I don't think either one of them ever paid much attention to baseball cards or tried to put any kind of WaJo collection together. Again, I wish!
Hank
