1960 Topps







This is a good way to start the blog. This is the oldest card that I have autographed. I like it because Larsen is obviously the only pitcher to throw a perfect game in the World Series, but also because it depicts him as a KC Athletic.


I bought this card from a local card shop about a week before Larsen came to town at a baseball card show. I don't remember what year it was (probably around 1989). The show was at the mall and the autograph was free, if I remember correctly.

    Is that one of my favorites? Hell yeah! For one, this was my oldest autographed card for nearly 20 years. Plus, he's the only person to throw a perfect game in the World Series. He's not a Hall of Famer, but he does hold some major clout in baseball lore. And how can you not love a KC A's card?
