I was in a Whatnot stream today and Bobby Grich was being discussed, which reminded me of this pickup at an antique store. I mean, how could I not buy a Bobby Grich Topps run from Bobby Grich Night? The guy had a 71 career WAR, but seems to have been forgotten by the Hall.
I went to a card show a couple weekends ago and happened across a dealer selling a small collection of 1969 cards, including a rookie I’d been wanting to pick up for a while. There’s just something about vintage cards.
I used to draw as a kid and took it back up last year for my newsletter about vintage sports cards. I draw either a "grail" or favorite card for each collector who takes the Drawn to Cards Q&A.
