There are certainly some nice (autos and mem) cards in there. I love seeing collections from folks that enjoy collecting players other than just the mega superstar names!

He played from 1948 to 1961 and retired before I was born. I knew him mainly as the owner of a chain of tire stores in Rochester, NY.<br />carlsonjokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15556989250983706634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8342776885896894717.post-13273351353276368552017-05-29T13:50:06.969-07:002017-05-29T13:50:06.969-07:00Awesome collection.

Actually don't know much about him... but whenever I have seen his cards, he's featured with the Orioles.

He was retired before I was born and despite man gold glove awards didn't seem to get a lot of recognition. I am amazed at how many current cards he has. Very fun to look at these cards. <br /><br />Thanks for entering the contest.Collecting Cutchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18066493614914957891noreply@blogger.com
