Prize: A couple of relics and autos and a pile of cards from your favorite team or set. Your favorite set cannot be Ultimate or 1952 Topps or anything crazy. Got it? Good. Here's the questions.
Heritage Questions:

Don: Ruling on the insert - either player on the T&N counts. So Maris it is. Also - By Braves I do mean minor league affiliates of the Braves, so Durham Bulls in the '80s counts.
Canuck: Tell me about it. I posted this obliviously thinking that it was just a sprain, hopped in my card and heard the news on the radio. Been offline since 12:30 'till now so I haven't had time to put on the sackcloth and ashes yet.
Beardy: You sir, have cojones. Five points for Gryffindor.
