Default Active or Retired Players who Collect Cards -Query
Posted By: Frank Wakefield

J Levine,

My recollection is that Frank Thomas HAD a great Topps collection, 1952 forward, and that it burned in a fire at his residence. Since then he was working on rebuilding it. He'd swap one of his selfprint autographed cards for a Topps card he lacked. If you wrote him asking for an autograph he'd mail back a want list, send him a card he wanted and he'd sign for you. Lots of 52 Topps high numbers remained on the want list...

Anyone know the current state of Mr. Thomas' collection?
