Was reminded today that around a decade ago, I found this 1961 Topps Roger Maris card in a stack of written-on cards and promptly bought the stack. The Maris has tearing damage but it wasn't written on and calculating the per-card cost, I got it for 7 cents! Sure, it's ripped, but 7 cents!
I picked this up off of eBay last week, it’s a nice, well loved card that’s perfect for me. The little blue “k” in ink on the bottom left gives it character.
It’s a Saturday Roger Maris flashback edition of #WhatsOnYourDesk.
Roger Maris is one of 32 players to win multiple MVP Awards, but one of just 13 to win them in consecutive seasons, 1960 & 1961, edging out Mickey Mantle both years.
