I picked up this wrinkly old 1953 Topps Virgil Trucks for $1 on eBay. I love all 1953 Topps, and I’ll probably ship this off to Mr. Trucks in hopes that he’ll sign it. I know that some people aren’t fond of getting vintage cards signed, but I’m not one of them. This card is already torn to shreds, so a little ink won’t hurt it too much more. I’ll certainly do a post if this card does in fact return with a signature.
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.
That card sure has some character! Good luck on getting it signed. I'm sure he will. You'll probably get a lot more included with it.
ReplyDeleteLove the Brownie mascot.
ReplyDeleteAwesome addition! Even for the condition it's in, it's still a very nice card. Best of luck getting it signed, Trucks is an extreme class act!
