Who: Hall of Fame Outfielder & First Baseman
Stan Musial Team: St. Louis Cardinals
Card: 2008 Goudey
Acquired: 1/1 Private Signing
Comments: Yeah, you know, there are just some autographs you have to have in the collection. This one goes without saying - Stan "The Man" Musial, one of the greatest to play the game.
I waffled a bit about what to have him sign. I do love getting signatures on any of the Goudey sets, but a vintage card of Stan would have been great. Since I didn't have any vintage featuring Mr. Musial, I went ahead and sent a card that I already had and really like. It will look great next to a few of the other Hall of Famers I have on 2008 Goudey cards.
Stan's signature isn't quite what it
once was, but that's totally okay. He's getting up there in age - he'll be '90 this November, so it's understandable. I hope that he still has some great years ahead of him. Baseball could use a few more guys like Stan.
