I have said on here before, that your style of card collecting is advanced and difficult. It's as time consuming as running down a 500 card set 1 by 1, but much less expensive. I defer to your knowledge on the Clemons' cards.

I try not to predict the future, especially for others. My predictions look like the movie "Logan's Run". You escape to paradise with a British model, but Hercule Poirot has already arrived before you, sitting there in rags with his pet cats.

Another issue for me is trying to locate 1 player with 3 different spellings of his first name. I even mistakenly used Vern on accident. Vern, Verne and Vernon are all used Verne is the correct spelling. Also some of his early years before he played for the Cardinals, in minor league ball at least one club spelled his last name Clemens. I also found some magic lantern slides and they had mistaken him as Hornsby. I've tossed this out before, but another person from my small town of 140 at best probably closer to 100 was Dick "Sherb" Noble who was one of the founders of Dairy Queen. The only other was a baseball player who is still living is Jerry Mehlisch. Jerry never made it to the majors do to injuries and polio. Jerry did play with two distinct players Jim Grant aka Mudcat. He was the first African American to win 20 games in the majors and also the first to win a world series game. The other guy was some clown named Roger Maris.
