Josh - great story re: Lefty.

Since I was a kid, I've always collected Phillies' cards. I have a very large Mike Schmidt collection and my kids have started on Utley, Howard, Hamels and Rollins. In the past 10 years, I've started focusing more on the pre-war Phils, grabbing a '33 Klein first and then moving to a couple of Alexanders (Sporting News Supp and M101-4), to add to Ashburn, Roberts, etc. My biggest add was a Mayo Del and I've been looking for a Mayo Hamilton to give me a "matched" set. I have a number of other Phils' stars to add, including Sam Thompson, Sherry Magee (an easy one, just haven't done it yet), etc. I'd like to add a lefty Jack Clements, but haven't found the perfect one (cheap, nice) yet.

Josh's amazing list is a lot longer than mine, which is probably a good thing!
