Default Me and Fred McKie made a 1955T Ashburn

Many of you may know Fred McKie of Eastcentral PA, a die-hard Phillies collector.

We recently put together a 1955 Topps-style card for Richie Ashburn.

The whole story of the project, and a look at Fred's original Topps flexichrome, are in my blog, linked below.

Bob, I always enjoy your vintage card creations. It's kind of surprising Ashburn is not in the '55 Topps set, since he's in both the '54 and '56 Topps sets ...

Bob,
This card is outstanding! Great write-up on the back. I am down to 4 cards to complete the '55 set, I guess I need 5 now .
Thanks for sharing!
