But to celebrate Bob, I work for a minor lg team and we had Denny McLain out to our ballpark for the 2nd time in the past 4 years, so I had the chance to sit and talk with him for a while and decided to print off one of Bob's cards he made in 2011 to hold in a photo taken with Denny.

Posting just to celebrate Bob Lemke and how seeing his cards inspired me to create many for fun and a few for my job working in baseball.
Great story and thank you for sharing. I knew Bob in exactly the same way. We discussed custom cards a few times and he helped me with materials he used.

I have that exact same card except I put is in a old PSA slab with a custom label.
