Cool story...

So, on a whim, I found Fergie on twitter and sent him a tweet (did not mean to make it public - am a novice tweeter, obviously) and offered to HIM to tell ME what his own favorite card is of himself.

Pretty cool since about an hour or two later he responded and said that after his rookie card, his own fave is his 1967 Topps card.

Way cool, Fergie! And I am now obsessed on EBay trying to find the best ‘67 Topps Fergie Jenkins I can afford to take its place of honor in my “card cave” - now, with a great story to tell when I torture my friends and family with a tour of my collection.

I hope this starts a trend! (I just tweeted/asked Rod Carew the same question…)

Here’s the “before” Fergie… will post an after as soon as I find the perfect one!

Happy weekend, all.

Jeff
