i paid a visit to the newest local card shop in the twin cities recently, and obviously, wallet card was along for the ride. we got there a bit early...
the shop has been open for a little over a year now, and it's owners are a couple of regulars at the monthly card shows.
once i got inside on this particular day, i was drawn to some of the bargain vintage - fifty cents a pop - and picked up a 1954 bowman fred baczewski card
i am not collecting this set, nor am i a reds collector, but the lack of the facsimile autograph, coupled with the mention of mickey mantle on the back of a card from 1954
was enough to get me to bite.
