Last weekend at the Chicago Tournament, I noticed that Jim Saska (right) was wearing his personalized APBA card name tag that the Company had given him at one of the national conventions. At the time, I remembered being given one myself.
Tonight, I looked in my drawer and there it was from 1998. APBA must not have known me well at the time since they rated me as a Fast Outfielder. :)
Zooming in on the photo I took tonight, I can tell they used an old card of Baltimore Oriole speedster Al Bumbry.
I once (1979?) wrapped my brother’s Christmas present in a large copy of Al Bumbry’s APBA card. Weeks before, he had acquired Bumbry from me in our keeper league. Seemed like the thing to do. DonS.
