Post Mama always said... "Don't judge a book by its cover."


Thank goodness my 1955 Bowman rookie card of Don Mossi isn't a book... because I fell in love with this card the first time my eyes gazed upon it.


And thanks to Core Contrarian (who informed his readers that today is Mossi's 83rd birthday) I finally have the opportunity to show it off.


After some research... I think I can safely say this is the oldest rookie card in my collection. What about you?


What's the oldest rookie card in your collection?


Happy Birthday Don! And Happy Hump day to all of you. Sayonara!

He sort of looks like Jorge Posada.
