Yes you guessed it I started this post on the 30th of the month with absolutely NO idea on what card(s) I was going to blab er BLOG about. This is always fun at the end of the month.
Hey I have a wacky idea. I'll revisit an old feature I just remembered I used to do on this blog... "The Card of the Whenever". Hmm lets see where did I put that logo?
This card is appropriate in many ways a childhood hero on a card from my childhood showing the hero in his childhood. How cool am I now?
The card is from 1972 Topps Baseball "Boyhood Photos Of The Stars" subset, card number 498 Brooks Robinson Baltimore Orioles. I got it for a whopping 25¢ from a Sportlots auction a few months back. I should hunker down on this subset, heck even the full set.

The card has offcentering problems most noticeable on the back.
Hopefully this wasn't one of those auctions on there where the card went for a quarter, but the shipping was $3.95. As far as the centering goes, it's funny because I never notice that until someone points it out.
ReplyDeleteJon, Fortunately this time it was not a case of high shipping costs. I just double checked and the shipping was only $1.49.
