Random Card of the Day

 By the way, there never was a 1954 version of this card.  The original set only had 250 cards.  The Archives set had 248 of those cards plus 8 add on ones including this Clemente.  A very nice set, either in 1954 or 1994.

I don't do reprints, and I was prepared to ignore this one. I thought I didn't like reprints just because I like the thought of having a card that is really old and was in the hands of some kid 50 years ago. But now, reading the totally hokey back on this card, I see that there are other strong reasons to loathe reprints.  I suppose if this was a "real" reprint that duplicated an old card, except with a more recent copyright, it might be cool. But if other "reprints" (and I guess this isn't one, since it was never printed in the first place) have the ridiculous hindsight prediction narrative on the back, you can keep 'em.

You know, just other day, I was looking at my old Craig Biggio cards, and was intrigued to find one that said he was on his way to a Hall of Fame career about seven years before his career was over.  That was cool. This -- not so much. 

But I didn't know he was with Brooklyn, so that's something I learned....
