Satchel Paige Cards?

[metroac]

Bob Lemke was a fantastic designer of "cards that never were." Here's his '51 Bowman Paige.

And here's the '52 Topps/Lemke Paige.

That's the one. Thanks, metroac!

You had to see Paige pitch (with his double-loop wind up) to appreciate him.
I was fortunate to see him pitch when I was 10 - 11 years old.

1949 LEAF (NOT "1948" ! ! )

And, how often do you see this 1973 TOPPS Test issue card of Paige ?

Seeing him pitch must have made a big impression. He’s definitely an American hero! I would have loved to see him play, especially against DiMaggio or Williams when he was in his prime.
