Yesterday when I got home from work, I had a SASE post marked from Columbia, SC. I figured it was something from one of the Charleston Riverdog players I sent to. Much to my surprise, it was a success on a 1960 Topps from Art Ditmar!
I actually really needed this for my Topps Yankees Project. I have a 1960 Gil McDougald, but I had to move around a few years after I got my 1951 Jerry Coleman. I wanted to stick to my one player per year rule without repeating players in the project. Here is what I had to move around:
1951 - received Coleman (previously had him in 1957)
1957 - replaced Coleman with Bobby Shantz
1958 - replaced Shantz with Gil McDougald
1960 - replace McDougald with Ditmar
Phew!
I collected baseball cards from the late '80s through 2002. Then I went to college and when I came out, I was lost. There were too many brands, sets, choices, relics, autos, parallels, variations. It was a turn off. However, I slowly made my way back. So here is my attempt to venture back into the hobby. I'll buy a few packs of cards here and there, comment on some cards I have, send out some TTMs, and follow the progress of my Topps Yankees Project.
