I'm a little frazzled after today but I gotta post something. I have 20 minutes to ensure that my post total for November is an even number. Yes, this is important. No I don't know why, it just is. Yes, I've been reading Thomas Pyncheon. Fnord. Wait, wrong book. I'll read that one next. Ok, so I'm a little bit nutty right now, who isn't? Besides, Thorzul is doing card show posts and I have to swipe a post idea from 'zul or the Night Owl at least once a week.
It's in the contract. I'm not interested in a big huge post though, so here's a
card thing I got out of that weirdo dollar bin. I have no freaking clue what it is.
Here's a black & white 9" by 6 1/4" photo of Indians outfielder Vic Power. The stock is thin and glossy, the back is blank save a couple of spots of paper loss due to the removal of some old looking tape. No idea what this is. Team issue? Promo? Regional set? I haven't the foggiest. Vic played for the Tribe from '58 to '61 so there's about a 5 year window of when this could have been produced. I'm not interested in baseball card detectivery right now though. I wanna listen to some trance, draw some poniez and drink my vodka sour. I got this
card thing for three reasons: Vic Power is cool, the item looked cool, I know at least three bloggers out there who would probably like it. Can anyone identify it? If you're one of the three I was thinking of, name that thing and it's yours.

i am sure that with other people the fan of baseball will also like these cards
That's most likely the 1958 Indians team issue, similar to the Jay Publishing photos. It would have been sold as a team set for about 50 cents back then, but I'd gladly pay a buck for one today, even with tape loss. I'm not sure what they're worth, but it's tough to find them outside the region. I'd like it, but I may not be one of the three! I'd be glad to trade for it though!
All yours, Ryan!
Sweet, thanks!
what in the hell is vicky talking about?
I believe vicky's a spambot that posted a link on my blog. But there's no link here. Go figure.
As long as there ain't a link, the spambots and I can coexist peacefully.
