Share your specialized collections

I decided to scale back my collection last year. I started doing only Ruth playing years cards mid to late last year. I’m 7 deep now and plan to run out the Goudeys now and then add a 32 caramel in 2023’. I’ll then pick and chose from that point. It won’t accept my file to show my current seven. All four “Babe” E121 caramels series of 80 and 120. Goudey 53, 144, and 1935’

My 'aside my set completions' collection is focused on Frank Howard and then Washington Senators. They sort of go hand in hand but the focus is on Hondo mainly.

I just picked up this 2013 Tristar SignaCuts Autographs Frank Howard / Mike Kekich dual autograph card. It commemorates the last home run that Frank Howard hit at RFK stadium as a Senator and the pitcher he hit it off of, Mike Kekich. I have mentioned previously here that my sister went to that game and she gave me the ticket stubs to that game.

So that will make a nice display with the card and the tickets.

A couple of interesting asides to that home run. It has been said that Mike Kekich let Frank know that a grooved pitch was coming through Thruman Munson. Frank told Thurman to thank him as he crossed the plate.

And I had forgotten this next one. Mike Kekich and Fritz Peterson had swapped wives during the 70s timeframe. Sort of a twisted trade but the story is out there. I remembered this only after reading the notes on the card.

Regardless, it is a cool card and it is headed my way to go into my PC.

Edit: Of course, my collecting habits do not fall into this time range very often. At least not now. But they will in the future.

Cigarette packs! And my other "non-baseball" focus is Chris Froome cycling jerseys.

You might be the only other person here who would appreciate my Eddie Merckx cards.

Is there really such a thing? I followed pro cycling closely back in the 1980s, including subscribing to British magazines. If there was trading card sets that covered those times, I would be over the moon,
