***I’m sure she lost at least $300,000..***

Once again, I have no regrets; what a shame for her.

***now I just have silver...and a 1954 Topps #25 in great condition***

"1954 Topps #25" = Harvey Kuenn ❓ I had no father and knew nothing about baseball or baseball cards. The 'coach' teachers in school were COACHES - NOT teachers. They just stayed angry at me without ever teaching me how to play the games: baseball, basketball, football. What a silly education system❗

Ted Williams. His card was #1 and #250 that year (most collections were ‘rubber banded’ together so #1 and [the end # of any year] were pretty dog-eared).

The back side of 250 retold the story of TW on the last day of the ‘41 season sitting at .3998 - the coach wanted to bench him because he would round up to .400 in the books.

TW said: NO! I’m playing — then went on to go 6 for 8 in a double header.

TW finished the season @ .408.

No-one has broken the .400 barrier since.

It’s just for fun...
