I admire those of you who make collecting goals and methodically work at achieving them. My collecting, like my collection, is pretty disorganized. A couple of years ago I had the idea to start collecting cards of Jewish players. Here's a recent addition, my only card purchase this month.
Al "Flip" Rosen will most likely be in anyone's top 5 or so greatest Jewish baseball players. This commemorative card is from the Topps' 1961 set. It's not from his playing days but it is vintage.
Here's a relatively recent interview with Al:
Awesome card! His '53 Topps issue is quite high on my list at the moment.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I've ever seen the Indians logo with the "C" and Chief Wahoo together.
ReplyDeleteGreat add!!
The Indians wore them from 1951-1957 and again in 1962. I find it interesting that the logo is on a patch, not directly embroidered on the cap.
DeleteSweet Hebrew Hammer! One of the few I still need aside from rare food releases. Love me some Rosen cardboard goodness!
ReplyDeleteNice!
