Pretty excited to add this Luke Easter auto to the collection. Fun addition to the Easter collection and another Negro League great autograph

I buy into the occasional break through Burl’s Breaks. I hit this 52 Yogi last year - I believe it was actually a free spot for a Cardhound Vintage post I did. The 52 Bowman set is a fav and I have a handful of them.

Butch Henline was a Bloomington Bloomer in 1919 and went on to have a solid big league career. In 1922 he became the first big league catcher to hit 3 home runs in a game. After his playing days ended, Henline went on to have a nice career as an umpire. As an ump, he was the first to eject Jackie Robinson from a game. I’ve included a link to his SABR bio below. This is his 1933 Mrs. Sherlock’s Home Made Bread pin from his time with the Toledo Mud Hens. Little bit of Bloomers. Little bit of oddball!

I’ve always wanted this Miñoso! Love him as a player and this is a great image of him…but there is something about the glove that is almost comical. It seems giant. I know gloves have evolved over the years…still! Many thanks to Matt @Cardhound for the Minnie, the Murph auto, and a couple of Japanese Menko cards!!!!!! The pitcher is Miyashita. What a cool image! Looking forward to Wednesday!

I snagged Minnie and the Murphy auto!
