Matthew Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 ....a few '70 cards that Johnny might get a kick out of. Got the team pic hiding in the box somewhere. Weizzy: Thanks a ton for the pictures. I was in a used bookstore Tuesday and, on a whim, I bought Jim Bouton's Ball Four, which I hadn't read since I was a teen-ager (only read it 1,000 times back then), and I'm loving it. The cards brought back stories of a lot of the players pictured. No Bouton card though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son-of-a-Weizen Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 .... Nice! got any old dick allen or richie ashburn? Oh, that's right! I forgot that you're originally a Philly guy. Ya know, I don't have his Philly card.....just the Cards & White Sox ones. Toward the end, he was something of a bad penny, wasn't he? ...traded around to 3 or 4 teams in as many years I think?

I need to figure out how to upload pics to a site and then post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hot Ptah Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 I collected cards in the mid-1960s and industriously wrote on every card when a player was traded or released or retired. I would write in the name of his new team, or the word "Released" or "Retired". So almost all of my cards were considerably lowered in value. I had a Pete Rose rookie card, where Pete's face is one of four player's faces on the card, and I wrote something under all four of them--the card was almost covered with my writing. A card shop owner bought it and put it on the wall with a little sign which read "I was angry one day and look what I did." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hot Ptah Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 That's the one I wrote all over. For example, under Ken McMullen I wrote Washington Senators, which covered about 1/4 of the card's surface. Under Al Weis I wrote New York Mets. Under Pete Rose I crossed out 2B and wrote Outfield. I can't remember what I wrote under Pedro Gonzalez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
