More Baseball Cards

For the story behind these cards, see here.

As promised, there are a couple more pictures of my uncle's baseball card collection in the extended entry. Braves and Cubs fans will be particularly pleased I think. aaronmathews.jpg

The light for this shot was a little 40 watt desk lamp, that's why it looks so yellow. Aaron's card is a 1958 Topps, Mathews is a 1957 Topps.

1956 Topps. I only saw Banks playing first base, and it seemed that he was there for years. Anyone know how long he played at shortstop before moving over?

1 Ooooh, Ernie Banks. Can't answer your question, but I have a signed baseball of his. :-)

2 You got some great cards there. I wish I had my old cards but they were thrown out years ago.

4 Banks joined the Cubs in '53 as a shortstop. He made the move to first in the '61 season. So, basically, he was a shortstop for the first half of his career and a 1st baseman for the second half.
