Nice sort of odd Non-Sport card.


-------------------------------

I collect: Baseball, Football, Hockey, Mostly Vintage pre1980, My Homie teams - Washington/Baltimore Teams Senators (Twins, Rangers), Expos/Nationals, Redskins, Capitals, Bullets/Wizards - HOFers - Non-sport (mostly TV shows and movies).

My Trade List is very much a work in progress

You beat me to it. I clicked on this just to say this card real cool. That was one of my favorite poems to teach in my 8th grade English class.

An odd coincidence that the only card of Richard Serra, who passed yesterday, is part of the same set.

And Joe Lieberman who only has 3 cards just died and is in the same set, so the two most recent deaths are showing cards in the same set as the RCOTD
