I received a sweet little PWE full of legends from one of our community's legends, Gavin, over at Baseball Card Breakdown.
The Big G is known for rocking an always interesting blog, his chase of number cards that match his birthday and the celebration of Beermas. Add to all of that, his spot-on, custom creations that he gets autographed by the stars on the cardfaces, and yeh, you've got a legend.
But this post isn't about Gavin, it's about the Dodger legends on cardboard that he sent out to little ol' me. From the Legends of New York set...
Jim Gilliam led off for Brooklyn back in these days, but his card wasn't in this PWE, so we'll go with second in the batting order...
The Duke of Flatbush batted third...
Batting cleanup, Gil Hodges...
Batting fifth was World Series Hero, Sandy Amaros, who was followed by ATBATT's patron saint...
That closes out the boys of summer. Also in this legends envelope were a couple from The Perfessor. The first harked back to his playing days with the Brooklyn Robins...
How about those shades - they still rock over a hundred years later.
The second card highlights Casey's managing days with Brooklyn...
Let's keep the WS Heroes rolling. From a different set, AND sporting a different photo than I've seen before (looks like he's in front of an apartment house), my favorite Brooklyn pitcher...
We'll close out with (still) the biggest World Series Hero that LA has ever seen. The Legend...
A nice set of cards. THANKS, Gavin!
Aloha!
Glad you like! Those fuzzy cards are a trip. Black bordered Hometown Heroes always look pretty sharp.
ReplyDeleteGlad you mentioned the fuzzy factor. I totally forgot to include it in my write up. I think of it as the feel from a baseball cap.
Deletelove Snider and Hodges - all those bats! who wouldn't love a fuzzy card?
