Mike, I love your action photo, period. Scooter Rizzuto really got "the heave ho" the clean, hard way!
My contribution to this worthy thread is an image made by our esteemed member, Chris De Bono. He snapped a photo of the four fantasy 1954 Wilson Franks cards that I crafted in conjunction with my book on immediate postwar regional-food issues, NEVER CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN. Probably not worth mentioning, but the pesky white dot above Jack's eyebrow in his pinkish-lavender Wilson is a dust speck, as Chris assured me!
Among the sets I love are the '54 Wilsons. At only twenty cards, most players are not included; it was simply an all-star starting line-up from each league, with a manager. I decided to add Jackie Robinson and Mickey Mantle to his respective squad, with two versions of each. Had lots of fun creating them, backsides and all!
Hope you feel they were worth a nice glance. To be sure, very few Jackie Robinson cards were produced during his short, but mighty career.
Thanks all for your own postings. Keep 'em coming!
Happy New Year to you all. ----Brian Powell
