Do biographies or historical books enhance your card collecting enjoyment?

That's awesome! Do you have his rookie card? Also, do you have any pictures from the camp? If so, can you upload them? Thanks for sharing.

No, I don't have his RC, just a '72/73 and a couple of others. Unfortunately, if any Kodak Instamatic pictures from Kutsher's (I think that was the name of the borscht belt resort) exist, they're squirreled away somewhere in an attic on Long Island...but the images in my head remain high-res shots!! Bob Cousy and Lou Carnesecca also left quite an impression on me there. Two people who are polar opposites in terms of temperament.
