We've reached the point now where ten cents can't even buy a ten cent stamp anymore.
Whoa! I think I just blew my own mind.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

Hard to wrap my head around the fact that kids once pulled brand new '52 Topps high numbers out of wax packs for a nickel late in the summer of the year I first collected cards.

I forgot I even had this card, and always thought it was an odd one. It seems to depict the cartoonified Robinson making a throw from second base in 1947, when we know he only played first base his rookie year.

In January of 1958, Jackie joined the board of directors of the NAACP. Shortly after, Medgar Evers invited Jackie to Jackson, Mississippi for what the NAACP called "Jackie Robinson Day."

This day in Jackie Robinson history -- February 16, 1958, in a Jackson masonic temple, he delivered a speech "Patience, Pride, and Progress." For more, see the link below.
