(Anybody remember Debarge) I think I might have sold out how old I am with that title.
Is the week over yet? It's been a rough week at work and I have Friday off because Sluggo and I are setting up at a local card show. I just can't wait to be off work and be messing with cards for 2 days.
Today's post is a Hall of Fame catcher who was on my favorite NL team, at least for a time. I liked the Mets as a kid, the Reds as a later teen and even the Cardinals for awhile as an adult. If you asked me my favorite NL team now, I'm not sure what I would say.
You know I gotta buy the stickers. These were all I could find in the cheaper, older Benches.
The top 5 were throw ins from Sportlots. I'm guessing the bottom card was actually searching out Benches. I start off with the oldest because that's the way they are listed on there.
You saw one of these on my Schmidt post, you'll see more because although they are oversized, they were all cheap from one seller.
These 11 cards give me 128 cards of Johnny with more to come if I ever get back on Sportlots, which with card shows coming back after the holiday hiatus, it may be awhile.
I guess the Cards if you don't want to root for the Tigers. They're kind of a big market team without the snobbery of New York or LA.
ReplyDeleteIf you're going to collect a catcher, you can't do much better than Bench.
Whenever I hear that song, I immediately thing of Short Circuit.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Nice Johnny's
Short Circuit? Man, you're old. Yeah, that's what I think of too.
