As much as I would love to continue posting about how awesome the cards that Chris sent me for doing that custom card 7,000,000 years ago, I need to finish this out. So here’s the final push, and it should be no great surprise that I saved the best for last. 1957 Topps #39 Al […]
Yesterday, I made a very brief mention of how May 11 was the anniversary of the Mets bringing Willie Mays back to New York to finish out his career.
