1951 Bowman #165, Ted Williams.
Ted Williams is an American Hero. Arguably the greatest hitter of all-time in MLB and a legend in wartime.
Ted Williams interrupted his Hall of Fame baseball career twice to serve as a U.S. Marine Corps pilot in World War II and the Korean War, where he flew dangerous combat missions and trained fellow aviators with skill and courage.

This has always been one of my favorite Williams cards. The way both action photos work together within the confines of a card is just fantastic.

Ted Williams was born 107 years ago today. Williams was my dad's favorite player. When he passed away six years ago, I bought this card in his honor. It was one of the big final cards on my way to finishing the '56 Topps set.

I don't collect much vintage, but I do love vintage relics in modern cards, so here's my Upper Deck SP Authentic Splendid Swatches Ted Williams/Nomar Garciaparra dual relic /406 😀

1939-46 Salutation Exhibit Supply Company, Ted Williams #9 Shows Variation.
This 1939-46 Salutation Exhibit Supply Company variation with #9 showing of Ted Williams is a prized piece in my PC because it’s one of his earliest baseball cards, capturing the future Red Sox legend at the very start of his career. This variation was produced in a very small regional run at the very beginning of 1939 and very few examples survived to today. I found this one raw, with the tape, and took a chance on it. I was delighted that I did so.
