who made the tour of Japan (except Musial) that year. National League, vintage, and very pretty. SO THERE. A shikishi is a writing board! |

something you don't see everyday. What the heck happened to Musial? Probably just like now...the bigshots can excuse themselves from the promotional crap. |

Also he didn't have a baseball card between his '53 Bowman (nice card!) and his '58 Topps (don't think he was in the Army ALL that time). But I've heard from everyone that he was, and is, a real sweet guy. |

As a member of SABR, I can vouch for Jay’s comments that the Deadball Stars is an excellent publication. Plenty of information is available on the superstar players like Matty and Honus. What makes this book special is that it has the biographies of the more obscure star players (e.g. Patsy Donovan, Slim Sallee, Jake Daubert, Bill Doak …) in this era. I think this group would enjoy and well worth the price of $25. |

Agreed -- its an excellent book, and should be a no brainer to anyone collecting pre-war cards, photos, etc... |
