Hint on Strike out trivia. American Leaguer and Hall of Famer
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - Giants - 08-29-2022
Early Wynn, Whitey Ford, Bob Lemon?
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - Phogge - 08-29-2022
I think Giants may have covered it. Probably Ford.
What was Whitey's other nickname?

As for Whitey's other nickname - the Chairman of the Board (given to him, I think, by Elston Howard).
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BobK - 08-29-2022
Early Wynn is right. I would have guessed Jim lemon if told a Cleveland Indian
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BobK - 08-29-2022
The previous record before the Mantle card maybe the 1910 Honus Wagner card

The question asked about memorabilia generally, not baseball cards in specific. The item in question was not a baseball card. In fact it wasn’t even baseball memorabilia.

Understood still that was my guess

Just read the story. I was close. I once had a Mantle 52 Topps card. Once
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BostonCard - 08-29-2022
Yup, I saw it in a tweet, or I wouldn’t have known either.
I wonder if that Maradona Jersey was purchased by a rich Englishman with an intent to destroy it.

RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - Phogge - 08-29-2022
Bobbbbbb, how did you get that card? One reason that it is so valuable is that it came in the last printed series of Topps ‘52. It was only sold in small quantity on the Esat Coast.
I have an EX-NMT of Mantle ‘53 which is pretty valuable but not in the class as the ‘52.
Still have some Zeenuts and the two Mother’s Cookie PCL sets 1952-53.
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BobK - 08-30-2022
Hmmm maybe a 53. I used to get rid of say the 53 card for a player when I got the 54.
I have a number of mother’s cookies cards
But not complete or close
I bought 52 reprints like 30 years ago stolen in 1996.
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - Phogge - 08-30-2022
The ‘52’s are the classic set but I like the ‘53 set because the originals were painted copies of photographs which was unusual. A 280 card set missing six cards (never sold) of players who refused to sign contracts (Ted included). The paintings hung for decades in the Topps offices and for some reason were sold years later. To me unforgivable. In the old College HOF in South Bend original paintings of all the Voldemort winners were housed in a gallery not open to the public. My cousin’s First Air Cav buddy was the exec director and we took a personal tour which included the gallery. I believe the Hall relocated and may have made the paintings open to view.
BTW, Williams signed for the ‘54 set and unusual for the time he was the #1 card and also the last number in two different poses.
The most fun collecting as a kid were the Mother’s Cookies. Ate a lot of cookies.
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BobK - 08-30-2022
Mothers Cookies cards and cookies were the best.
The 52 Topps and the PCL mothers cookies were the best And my first

Who was the 49ers first pick in the team's first NFL draft?
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BobK - 08-30-2022
Lol really trick question. YA Tittle when the colts folded
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - Phogge - 08-30-2022
Nope.
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - Phogge - 08-31-2022
Tittle played the 1950 season with the Colts.
The draft was held before the season and the Niner who was picked first played in 1950.
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BobK - 08-31-2022
Ok off a year. Then they maybe picked a lion
