Bob Friend and Billy Pierce
Mound Aces
You can see why this one is definitely one of my favorite cards. Both players were great during their playing days, and both of the signatures look great on the card. I also like this card because it is a vintage card and as I explained before for some reason I really like the vintage cards.
Glen Beckert was a regular for the cubs in the 60's and 70's at second base. He was a tough man to strike out and was a key player during their famous 1969 season. He was the double play partner of the Cubs shortstop Don Kessinger. All in all anytime I get a Cub great back in the mail I am a happy person.Mound Aces

Glenn Beckert
Hak Ju Lee
Topps Debut
This is a card that I recently traded for. I really wanted to add him to my collection because he is suppose to be a superstar for the Cubs int he future. Its nice because if he doesn't pan out then I only wasted .44 cents on the autograph, and one my of cards that I have multiples of. Happy to have this young middle infielder though.
1959 Indians
Dick Brodowski
Another small project that I am working on is this team card. I just got it back from Dick Brodowski today. The card has already been signed by Gary Bell. Mr. Brodowski wrote me a short letter back. I had asked him a few questions about Ted Williams. He said, "Ted Williams hitting philosophy is easy. Whats his best pitch? Thats what I will be getting!" I love these returns from older players especially on vintage cards. This card is now off to Don Ferrarese Keep reading for the next return.

Virgil "Fire" Trucks
1954 Bowman
This is the card that today's blog title is about. Mr Trucks was nicknamed "Fire" Trucks by a sportswriter during his playing days. He signed my vintage 54 Bowman card with his signature Virgil "Fire" Trucks taking the time to add the the Fire in red. He also added a signed card of his own, and wrote me a nice letter. A great return from a tremendous player and person.
Thanks for reading.
