This is the Miami Vice edition...Johnson was apparently also a broadcaster during the off season and Harshman was a hitter turned pitcher a la a reverse Rick Ankiel...

have you got a "finish date" target that you're trying to hit or just kinda steady as she goes?

Default At least someone is paying attention...
No target date in sight so guess steady as she goes for now. Do have another nice semi-star en route that has been very difficult to track down. More to come...hope your projects are going well, too...Matt

A sharp card of the 1949 Rookie of the Year...a solid career that makes you wonder what he could have accomplished if injuries hadn't struck so oftern...

The Moose was an 8-time All Star and 5-time World Champion...and he's a hell of a nice guy, too!

Always wondered about the nickname: was it based on his size or his visage?

Great project...I did a 1952 topps reprint set and got about 150 of the 396 cards signed...was a lot of fun but many players are long gone now or too expensive (mays especially)...good luck!
