June Pickups

bill,

spot on. really was a tragedy and worthy of much more recognition. much more! most just love him for his name, i love his entire story. i mean the guy got completely ran over by a truck at age 3 and just kept on going!! a truck, at 3! ...and 245 strikeouts in your rookie year? hot damn! well worth the time to read a lil on him.

as for the mcdougald line drive, such a class act that he didn't even finish running to first and ran straight to the mound instead. he was reportedly so overcome w/ guilt that he considering retiring if score woulda lost his eyesight. either just wouldn't happen in today's game.

jb,

as for the cowboy, ALR and Todd nailed it. it is indeed andy devine...good call!!! but i am young, sorta. and i know who he is! ; )

cb,

nice aaron rook. centering is great!

I love Andy Devine's voice; what a hoot! Remembering him right now as the first mate on the H.M.S. Henrietta in the classic, "Around the World in 80 Days". ---Brian Powell

I am all types of fired up over this little card right here. $110 on eBay. Rare centering, nice solid red area free of major PD, and most importantly for me: it doesn't have "caved in Mick face" on the batting Mick. Many 1960 Micks have a trick of inking that kind of makes the red cave in the side of his face.

This "3" is an upgrade of my "6," which will now be sold when I need to reach for the next big card. Nothing makes my day like upgrading to a cheaper card!

brian or is it indy?,

his voice WAS "devine", most naturally have heard pencil thin mustache by jimmy buffett but there is also a frank zappa song accredited to him/his voice... i think the song is called ann d. devine....

Whenever I hear the name Andy Devine, I can't help but begin humming Jimmy Buffett's "Pencil Thin Mustache." That song was the first time I heard his name and the two are now intrinsically linked.

Had some pretty good luck in filling some holes in my Aaron set. I've been trying to get the Home Run Derby card for quite a while. The leader cards are Venezuelans.

Great cards! The Venezuelans are beautiful, and that Home Run Derby card is an incredibly tough one. I wish I had known you were looking for one as I broke up a near set earlier this year. Awesome cards and you must be incredibly happy to add them!

Thanks Bob! Thanks for the insight on Herb Score... didn't know much about his story.
