My best cards V

What can you say about Stan Musial that hasn't been said?

I wrote a bit about him right after his death in January on my blog Central Standard. If you want to read that, the link is here.

He was a class act on the field and off. 

The greatest Cardinal ever, he was one of the best half dozen or so ball players who ever lived.

I acquired this card, a 1953 Bowman, about 20 years ago when I sold the bulk of my collection. The buyers, who knew of my affection for Musial and the Cardinals threw this in the deal, in addition to the money they paid.

It was a generous act befitting of the gentleman whose image is on the front of the card.
