I'm having a little contest....join here. This is a cool card that one of the monster boxes threw up while I was digging yesterday. Relic cards are becoming passe, but if you look hard enough you can find some unique ones that are still noteworthy.
2005 Bowman Heritage Pieces of Greatness Griffith Stadium/Josh Gibson
I have a few stadium relics in my collection. Obviously this one was purchased because it featured Josh Gibson. The relic is actually Griffith Stadium in Washington DC. The stadium was known to have huge dimensions so Gibson made a name for himself as being one of the few who could clear the fences with relative ease.
It's fun to read about about these old stadiums. Besides the huge dimensions it was also famous for having a "presidential box" near the first base dugout.
Here are a few links about the history.
Happy Friday!
Thanks for reading
