I’m looking for a nice example of the Nels Potter stamp, the only issue of any kind with him in a Braves uni. There are currently 2 on eBay, one is laughably overpriced and the other is ripped.

There were absolutely hippies in that bill. Gary and Randy Scruggs joined their dad’s band and the Revue was more of a hippy rock band than a bluegrass act. Earl caught a lot of heat for that among traditionalists.

Alston’s familiarity with Sandy Amoros from his days as Montreal’s best player prompted a defensive switch in the 6th inning of Game 7 in the 1955 World Series that led directly to the greatest catch in Dodger history.

Curtis Mayfield at his peak in 1972 for German television. This is just spectacular, one hour well spent. youtu.be/-pebUCR1tak?...

I just acquired a Babe Adams card today. Johnny Antonelli started with the Boston Braves and could not crack the rotation because they had another solid lefty named Spahn.

1981 Expos helped greatly by a complete game shutout by Ray Burris. It’s true, look it up.

I feel like Brian Cox finally get paid handsomely to shill for McDonald’s after working 60 years in the business is maybe a just reward.

Jackson Browne’s current touring band is fantastic, but there are now two guys doing what David Lindley used to do by himself. Kind of a subtle tribute to Lindley’s greatness.

Well, it is Jackie’s final playing days appearance on a card, so it’s kind of an important team card.
