My First 1962 Post Canadian!

I have a post containing about a dozen Post cards in the works, but I thought this one might warrant it's own post (feel free to start a drinking game):

1962 was the last year in which Ernie's cards would list his position as anything other than first base. After playing the last couple of games of the '61 season at first, he would move there full time beginning in '62, and other than the occasional foray at third... he would remain there for the rest of his career.

When I came across this card on COMC, it was listed as having water damage. After looking at it as closely as one can on a via a compute screen, I decided it didn't look too bad and decided to take a chance on it... it also didn't hurt that it was on sale at over 80% off.

Normally when I think of water damaged cards, I think of warped cardboard, but other than the light staining that you see on the one side, there are no other signs of anything being wrong. After seeing the card in person, I'm definitely glad I took the chance on it, although if had been anybody of lesser note I probably wouldn't have bothered.

I really don't see myself getting too many more of these, as just trying to work on the regular old American Post sets is proving to be more than enough of a challenge for me.

P.S. Who knew it would be so difficult trying to limit how many times you say "post" when you're writing a post about Post?


Thanks for taking a moment to look at my page.
