He would opening beer bottles with his eye socket, drove a beat-up hearse, and did his own laundry in the hotel sink. Here is his 1981 Topps Joe Charboneau Rookie Card #13.
This card caught my eye at a card show yesterday and I happened to notice there was a really low pop count for PSA 10’s (only 16…for a rookie Silver Prizm that’s low in my book). I worked it out with a nice gent and brought it home to the PC. It’s really sharp. Skenes had a nice showing against San Diego this past week and looks to close the season out on a positive note despite some challenges recently. He’s a great ballplayer and all star.
Hall of Fame rookies for this Friday #WhatsOnYourDesk.
