But to make up for it, I will remind you I have a charity auction up on eBay with one day left. If you are a New Jersey Devils fan or know someone who is, spread the word and give to a good cause, The Red Cross.
I will be tied up with the joys of family for the next few days, but I promise I will get back to the joys of baseball card pages soon. Can't wait that long? OK, fine...
While I may have mocked faith in an above paragraph, Roberto Clemente was a man of god and gave his life trying to help people. This makes him far more than a ballplayer in most people's eyes. This beauty is my 1956 Clemente. I was way ahead of the curve on Clemente. It seems the late 90's brought all the Clemente worship and card craze out in people, but I was on the Roberto bandwagon way before then. I bought all his early cards at shows in the late 80's and did not pay an arm and a leg for them. Sadly, I sold my 1955 Clemente rookie about eight years ago when it was the choice of cardboard or rent. I kept my '56, though, as I always preferred it to the '55 anyway. I will probably be clutching this card while living in a refrigerator box, because I am not selling it. Ever.
Bacon wrapped steak sounds good!
