Fun back story on this one. I’ve always liked Pete Alonso. Earlier this year, I happened to watch a documentary on Pete’s life and learned that he’s really into fishing, which made me like him even more, as I am an avid angler myself. The very next thing I did that day was rip a few packs of Topps and BOOM, I hit this Pete Alonso patch auto to /30!!

I’m a little disappointed the rough shape this card is in.

Sid Was born and raised in Hawaii-that’s why he wore #50 (for state #50)

Sid was one of the hardest pitchers to hit in the history of MLB. His opponents batting avg against him was just .209. Only behind Nolan Ryan and Sandy Koufax

The Dodgers traded El Sid to the Mets in 1983 because he left winter ball early. And the reason why he left is was because he was homesick, not the arm injury that the Dodgers claimed.

Here’s a link to all the Sid Fernandez cards on eBay: https://ebay.us/45szj8

Rave 53/150 can’t seem to find any comps on this card, I can only find cards that are not numbered.

Picked this one up for $1 did I do good?
