Satchel Paige Cards?

[tedzan]

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.

Tom, the public demands evidence!!!

A 4? Wow, I wonder what that would go for today. Only way to tell would be by auction. Mine has more...character?

A card I have and love, but that doesn't qualify as career-contemporary is the 1967 Venezuela Retirado, in a Browns uniform.

Looks one hasn't sold since 2019, but I suspect that one would also have a jump in price for the next one sold

28 total graded PSA, compared to 3,800 1953 Topps

That's a great card, and the same image used for his 1967 Venezuela card

I also like the 1973 Topps Reprint cards, which were printed in short supply for a Topps banquet or something like that.
