"I don’t have any great stories about cards for myself or any of my fellow ball players, but I was an avid collector of cards when I was about twelve years old. I absolutely loved it! I think my favorite card is a 1958 Mickey Mantle in “Good” condition. I also have three Roberto Clemente Cards that are in “Excellent” condition. These two players were and are my favorite players."


Thanks, Jeff! For good measure, here is a 1992 Classic Best card featuring the fleet-footed Conger, who stole 133 bases in his minor league career.
