I bought my first cards in 65, 10 years old, went to the local five and dime, and in it was a Ron Fairly- Fairly was a key guy for the Dodgers at the time, and I lived in Long Beach Cal, and he played high school baseball and basketball in Long Beach so was kind of a local legend. | ||
One of my favorite card designs. | ||
why is the World Series card #134 Mantle's Clutch HR not considered ( at least i have never seen it in 55 years ) an ERROR CARD ..... as one of the tougher and now one of the money cards in the set , I've looked at hundreds of them ..... here'e the problem folks .... the pitcher , tho his name has possiblly been whited out , is Cardinal's great BOB GIBSON ( the follow through is historical in itself ) .... the home run being celebrated on the card is MICKEY MANTLE'S GAME WINNING HOME RUN IN GAME 3 ........ BOB GIBSON DID NOT PITCH in game three , but he DID PITCH GAME TWO .... and if you look closer at the photo , the catcher is placing his hand over the ball in his catcher's mitt , indicating a swing and a miss on Mickey' part ... i believe this is one of the two times GIBSON STRUCK OUT MICKEY in GAME 2 , not the HOMERUN , which was thrown by BARNEY SCHULTZ ( obviously not who is in the picture ) ... i believe this to be an error card , never discussed , and not at all the moment in time the card is celebrating ......... THOUGHTS ANYONE ??? | ||
