Burdette Collection cards
In June, Mears auctioned off a bunch of memorabilia from 1950's Braves pitcher Lew Burdette.
There was a few lots of cards, like Bill & Bob postcards, JD McCarthy postcards, Spic & Span's and a Topps 1953 Archives set. The only lot I won was the Archives set. What I like about this set is that its of the 1953 Topps cards when Burdette was a player, so the set is loaded w/ teammates, rivals & contemporaries. If this was a 1991 Donruss or Fleer set, it wouldn't make sense to pedigree cards of players that are as old as his grandchildren w/ no connection to him. Lew Burdette pitched from 1950 to 1967 and amassed 203 wins w/ 144 losses. He twice won 19 games and twice won 20 or more & was a 3 time All Star. Milwaukee's 1st trip to the World Series was 1957 vs NY. Burdette beat Bobby Shantz, Whitey Ford & Don Larsen to go 3-0 incl a game 7 victory at Yankee Stadium shutting the bombers out 5-0. His ERA for the series was just 0.67 naturally winning the Series MVP. He passed away in 2007 at age 81 Email at jaycos@qualitycards.com ] Last edited by Jay Wolt; 08-09-2010 at 11:12 AM. |
