A Dime-ond in the Rough

Uh, sorry for the lazy title... Nick from the Dime Boxes Blog sent me a PWE recently, and as usual it was packed full of great stuff!

 20/20 hindsight on the back of the Killebrew card! I don't think he was thinking Hall of Fame as a rookie. Harmon once was asked what his hobbies were and he replied the he liked to wash the dishes.... just about as humble as humble can be!
 Rick got the short end of the stick here, he's the only guy Topps turned into a cartoon!
 A couple of Rats
 Shiny Blue!
If a baseball ever shot through an old-school mask like that it would be bad news. The cheesy smile lets us know it's all in good fun!

Thanks Nick!

      I like the design and bright colors - they remind me of an updated version of some 20s and 30s cards a little bit.

      Kirby was quite the pool player in his day.

    Glad you enjoyed them. I think you've nearly cleaned me out of Twins at this point, so I'll definitely be digging for more for you in the future!
