This Howie Fox with bonus pinhole was the card that finished off this page. There are precious few true common cards I need from the low series, most are Mickeys and Yogis and Jackies. Howie was in the two to three dollar box and was the first card I picked out when I got there. Now if I can just find #%$& Cal Abrams...
I had to get a high number card too, andJim Delsing got the call. There were about 7 or 8 high numbers I needed in the bargain box (why oh why didn't I get $20 out of the ATM before I went???) and Jim got the call. Why? It's in reasonably good condition, The painting looks good, I like the RAAAR Tiger logo and Howie was a National Leaguer so I balance out my purchases with someone from the Junior Circuit. I very nearly got a Dick Groat Rookie card that bas horribly trimmed however.
I'll finish off the Vintage show this week with - who else - THE BRAVES.

Am I the only one who thinks this set is better looking than the fabled '52s?
