Then I found <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Chief-Benders-Burden-Struggle-Baseball/dp/0803214987" rel="nofollow">this book</a> and really enjoyed it. He led a remarkable life against long odds. I have a fair size Bender collection but I wish I could afford some of his really rare cards. I really want his '15 Cracker Jack card. If I ever pick one up I may just quit the hobby. ;-)Commishbobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18069472376708715755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550073840562722051.post-56559472207782313452020-02-01T07:27:43.877-06:002020-02-01T07:27:43.877-06:00I'd like to see more 1961 Fleer Football... ma...I'd like to see more 1961 Fleer Football... maybe not the entire set, but more.

Might have been a '56 rookie training camp thing.
