Musing about my five collecting interests: All things Orioles and BALTIMORE Colts, 50's Baseball, team publications, Japanese cards and even some football and hockey. You might find some beautiful women, soccer stuff, presidential pins and life advice from time to time. I don't charge extra for any of those.

Brisket....with brisket
This was just too easy.
Brisket Howard made his first out-of-wallet appearance last night. He accompanied my wife and I to dinner. I had a ribs and sliced brisket plate. He didn't eat much and neither did I...I have leftovers for today's lunch. It wasn't a bad meal but I've had better.
I think I will toss something into each #walletcard post, just so I don't get tired of Brisket.
This time I present a '61 Fleer of John Olszewski. He came my way as part of a small lot of cards that contained several Colts. I've become a fan of this set through the Colts cards that it contains, they are just super photos, and in the back of my mind is the idea that one day I may attempt it. If I do, Olszewski will come in handy.
*That* is meat!
ReplyDeleteWell done! (or should I say medium rare?)
ReplyDeleteWhen you first showed the Brisket card I had a feeling this might be coming down the line, good stuff.
ReplyDeleteMy football card collection has only rarely gone back as far as the early 1960's, but I freakin' LOVE that card! I didn't follow football until after the NFL instituted their uniform numbering system, plus I've got a soft spot for anyone who's comfortable enough with their bad selves to wear #0 or #00 (with the exception of Brian Wilson, who's a little *too* comfortable with his bad self).
ReplyDeleteI guess it's not too surprising that this 1961 Fleer football reminds me of 1963 Fleer baseball.
