I will assume that was ironic humor. Have a good night.

Rhett- to answer one of your trivia questions, and this is purely a guess, I'll say Shag appears in the 1955 Topps All-American set.

Barry A.- I've seen pictures of you and you have way more hair than I do. But yes, I am still a hippie at heart, or as they might say in Yiddish, an alte-hippie.

It's a couple of hours later, and now my thought is Shag may be in the 1960 Topps set, on one of those coaches cards. It's either 1955 or 1960. Again, I didn't look it up.

Yes, it was ironic that I can't spell awful, you are correct.

I don't have an issue with all the T206 threads either. When I got into vintage cards 3 years ago that was my gateway set. I no longer collect it, but I always find myself coming back to it to pick up a card here and there.

So I too say bring them on.

Shag is my favorite card out of the set. I have an example with all three of the possible backs (Piedmont 350, Old Mill SL, and Hindu). A fun little subset.

Me too. I suspect I'll always need a periodic dose of T206 methadone.

Well Barry since you are the only one that tried to answer I will just tell ya. He is featured on a Topps baseball card in the 1964 Topps Rookie All-Star Banquet set. The card depicts him (obviously later in life) along with Jackie Robinson, Charles Spink, Al Silverman, Joel Shorin, J. McDermott, and J. McKenney.

Never would have gotten that Rhett. It was a tough one.
