Al Kaline

Who: Outfielder Al Kaline

Team: Detroit Tigers

Card: 2008 Goudey

Acquired: TTM 1/1 7/8/2009 (7 days)

Comments: What can I say, another Hall of Famer to add to the collection. The page of Goudey cards in my binder is looking pretty good with the addition of the Tiger's Al Kaline. What an awesome career.

While Mr. Kaline is a great signer, he does require a small fee of $5 for baseball cards. That's about at my threshold, so it was worth it.

I really like the Goudey cards - I've said it a lot. But, this one is really nice. The illustration work done on Mr. Kaline on this card really looks good. The signature came out pretty well except for a little distortion when the black marker ran over the dark lettering on the jersey. Blue would have looked fantastic, but no complaints here.
