Another Cornerstone Card
Fifty-six years ago... Ted Williams became the fourth member of the 500 Home Run Club.
One hundred sixty days ago... I crossed another card off of my cardboard wish list when I purchased this 1956 Topps Ted Williams off of eBay for $100 (+ $6shipping).
I'm not really in the financial position to drop triple digits on a piece of cardboard, but I'd definitely classify this card as one of my "dream" cards... and it's important to treat yourself to something special every now and then.
With that being said... it's easily one of my favorite cards in the collection... right up there with my Jackie Robinson and Roberto Clemente.
Why did I target Teddy over Willie, Hank, or Mickey? Well... there's no way I'll be able to afford the Mantle anytime soon. And when comparing this card to the Willie and Hank'scards... I preferred Teddy'ssweet swing. But if it makes you feel any better... I'm currently saving up my money for Hammerin' Hank and The Say Hey Kid.
Happy Friday and sayonara!
