“ This man created free agency, but he never got to benefit from it. If you’ve never heard his story, you should Google it. A fitting RCTD for Black History Month. ” -mrackar

“ Every modern day baseball player should have a Curt Flood card, as a way to honor him for the turmoil he endured , so that all baseball players can reap the rewards of free agency. ” -CollectingAfterDeath

“ Just had to listen to a presentation in my one labor markets class on Curt Flood. He played an important role on it in the MLB and I’m glad he was able to get his 7th Gold Glove award 20+ years later ” -michael1206

“ Curt Flood is probably the most "hero for some, villain for others" guy in the history of baseball. Some say he saved baseball, some say he ruined it. Both sides generally have good arguments. ” -hiflew

I NEED this card! Curt still isn't nearly as well-known as he should be in MLB history, even to many Cardinals fans. Very fitting that this hits RCOTD during February. I have several of his cards, but not this one yet. A simple but awesome card.

One of my favorite ballplayers from the sixties. A solid to at times outstanding player who IMO has two reasons to be in the HOF. EVERY player today owes guys like Jackie and Curt for what they did. Cost Curt the rest of his career. Find a card of his and add it to your collection. His Rookie is not expensive tho it should be. Big time stand-up guy.
