1957 Topps #279, Bob Thurman RC ⭐ MLB Pioneers
Some of the best hobby stories and experiences aren't fully realized until years or even decades later.
I got this 1957 Topps Bob Thurman card from my LCS when I was on active duty, serving in Newport, RI. It was part of a buy 4 for a $1 and get a 5th card free.
At the time, I didn't know who Bob Thurman was or that this was his RC, but it was an old card so I got it. I put it in a shoebox and forgot about it.
When I got back into the hobby around 2020, I started my collection of players who played in the Negro League and also made it to the Majors (MLB Pioneers).
I learned that Bob Thurman was one of those men and so I sent the card to PSA to be enshrined and was delighted with the return.
