This beautiful card depicts a flame thrower who liked to throw a few back, and possessor of one of the best names in MLB history, Van Lingle Mungo...“The Dodgers traveled around the league in ridiculed obscurity. But Mungo was famous and exciting, and they would bring him into a city advertised to pitch against the other club’s best. All over Brooklyn, people would stop ball writers. ‘How’s the arm?’ they would ask. They seldom mentioned Mungo’s name. There was only one arm in Brooklyn.” - sportswriter Jimmy Cannon(“Van Lingle Mungo Is Set to Music,” New York Post, August 4, 1970)

The aim is to create a welcoming, respectful, and engaging place for everyone who values the history and culture of vintage baseball cards and collecting. If you enjoy vintage baseball card collecting, welcome! You’re in the right place.
