That is what the hobby is about
Grown men sharing stories of little pieces of carboard that only a select few other grown men can truly appreciate! Great story. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful card and great story! I loved looking up the old timers when I was a kid and held them in that same mythical esteem that you did/do. That's the best part of collecting, learning the stories of the players of yesteryear.

Thanks for the kind words, guys, and I’m glad you enjoyed the story. My favorite cards are the ones that mean more than the cardboard they are printed on.
As for the top 4 on that plaque, I really don’t remember. I know Ruth was number 1. Probably some combo of Cobb, Wagner, Mays to fill out the list.
