It's been a few days.
I would like to tell you that I haven't posted in the past week because I have been on a fun vacation or a regular at the Durham Bulls games.
I have been to one game.
The Bulls lost on a long Tristan Gray home run.
My Spring Break actually ended last week and I returned to work. My free time evaporated.
While I did not find time to type up a blog post, I did find time to find another 1952 Red Man tobacco card. Even found another Hall of Famer, my second in a row.
Here is the card......
Ralph Kiner is easily the nicest card I have added since I started this project at the beginning of the year both in terms of the card condition and significance of the player. The tab is included and the surface and corners are all above average. I have a few other Hall of Famers on the National League side of the checklist. Kiner is my third behind Musial and Schoendienst, fourth overall when I included Larry Doby from the American League checklist.
It's Saturday, the sun is shining, and my youngest wants to ride bikes. Sorry, no time to scan the card back.
Nice looking card. Glad you were able to find one in nice condition. Today is the last day of my spring break. Tomorrow... the countdown to summer begins :D
ReplyDeleteI get a double summer break this year, because my schedule is changing. My summer countdown started in December.
DeleteLooks like you had really good seats for that game. Did you get a good deal on the Kiner, or did you have to pay a premium for it on account of it's niceness?
ReplyDeleteI got a good deal.
