I found this card in one of the $0.50 portions from my 'local' stack sale seller - I claimed it because I knew it was kind of odd off the bat, featuring not a baseball player, but an
author who has written his fair share of baseball books.
I keep thinking he is one of the experts they kept showing in Ken Burns' Baseball miniseries from the 1990s - the authority figures that look to be at least in their late 70s or older that share an anecdote about an old-timey player and/or talk about the good old days.
I'm not sure how the card came to be to be - I assume it was a custom card printed professionally, so the cards can be casually passed around at various book signings and other events.
I wasn't even really paying attention the the idea that it looks like it was signed on the back of the card - that's kind of a nice bonus.
While it's not the strangest card printed, it's just not like a regular card - maybe having it in hand, takes me different places in my collecting mind.
