Who: Pitcher Bobby Thigpen
Team: Chicago White Sox
Card: 1990 U.S. Playing Card Co.
Acquired: TTM 3/3 8/27/2009 (40 days)
Comments: This is likely the oddest thing I have signed by anyone. I'm not exactly sure how I got this card, but I know I got on a little White Sox kick when I was a kid and picked up some odd-ball stuff at card shop in the mall. I likely got it there. I think I have a Jack McDowell from the same set. This is the last of three cards that I've posted from Bobby Thigpen. It was hard choosing what to send through the mail, so I sent three. I had some other sweet cards to send, so it was hard to hold back.
Fun fact: The folks that made this set, U.S. Playing Card Co., are headquartered right here in Cincinnati. Or, to be exact, right across the Ohio River in Erlanger, KY.
