Musial is one of my favorite (non Yankees), simply because I collect Pennsylvania-born ballplayers. Pennsylvania has produced many BB (and FB) players over the years.

Sixty-eight years ago this month, "Stan the Man" set a new record. It all started with a NYC sports reporter, who wrote that Musial lacked "Home Run hitting power". So,
Stan had the last laugh. The Cardinals were at the Polo Grounds for a Double-Header vs the Giants. Stan hit 3 HR's in the 1st game and 2 HR's in the 2nd game. He also
hit 2 singles and Walked twice that day.

Ted,

Always appreciate the the insight and story. I have always felt like Musial was a very underappreciated player. One of the best hitters the game has ever seen! I especially love his Red Heart card. The Bond Bread rookie, seems like a great card as well. The more I talk and think about it, the more it seems like he's one of the collecting directions, I'll end up going. Thank you again.

Also I sent you an email, not sure if it's still the same one as last time, but I wanted to let you know, in case it got lost in the shuffle. Hope all is well.

Whenever I’m stuck on a next project, I take a break for a couple months. Something always rises to the top!

I have to admit I have generally let opportunity guide where I go next. Sometimes it's worked out great...I got a partial DeLong set with a Gehrig that I was able to complete. Sometimes less so.

James,

The 1935 Goudey 4 in 1 set may be a good candidate to look at. It has one of the lesser expensive Ruth's. You can go for a master set or a regular set. It is still relatively affordable.

Good Card to consider

Thank you again to everyone contributing. Opportunity guiding me is another great way to decide where I move next. Many wonderful ideas presented so far.

When I started back in the hobby I built a list of 500 cards covering 100 years of baseball that I wanted in my collection, that gives me plenty of options to collect, my biggest challenge is funding the wish list.

I was itching for another challenge, so I found a deadball era player that shared the same birthday as me and started a focus on him. I had two choices, but went with Buck Herzog. It's been fun to collect and learn more about him.

Enjoy the journey!
