I scanned these two cards at the same time. I then saved the images and noticed "Hensley Ford." I laughed, thinking it sounded like a car dealership.
Hey, come on down to Hensley Ford and pick up a 2016 Taurus, or drive home in a brand new F150. Cars are flying off the lot, and there's never been a better time to...
Ok, you get it.
So here's the Whitey Ford, a 1958 Topps beauty. Its actually crease-free other than very fuzzy bottom corners. When I got the eBay email that I won it for $3.95, I though "oh shit, what did I do?" figuring with shipping it would be close to $7, which is way more than I like spending on a card. Well, it was free shipping, which is probably why I bid, so I came away with this guy for under 4 bucks. I win.
The second card is a Ty Hensley card I've seen a lot, but never snagged. I made a "best offer" for it and the seller accepted, so I'm proud to say it's my 66th unique Hensley card.
That's all I got for ya today. Hope everyone has a great Sunday.
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.
Hensley Ford, home of the very first hover car.
