I picked up three baseball cards in my latest Diamond Jesters time travel trade. That's certainly in character for me. Minor league oddballs and an early 2000s need.
This one was out of character for me, but I really like it. I'm not a boxing fan but I certainly have an appreciation for the legends of any sport, and Floyd Patterson, the Brooklyn-born former heavyweight champion, certainly fits that category. It's also just a great vintage photo, looking like he's in a cabin with a window looking out to the woods. The card is from a 1962 Dutch gum set, about the size of a "mini" cigarette card. Just a really cool vintage item!
Nice Patterson. I went through a boxing phase where I collected cards of boxers that my father enjoyed watching.
ReplyDeleteI almost went for that Galante.
ReplyDeletePatterson is a legend. Very cool to have a vintage card of him from Holland!
