    The reference was actually to a different Fisk and a different Hall of Fame.. . PSA

    Oooopps - my mistake. Thought it was strange with the Fisk scenario.

    Yes, Jim, there is a member here, bobsbbcards, who is Bob Fisk who is a friend of Al's and I and he was just recently inducted into the PSA Collector's HOF. He has an incredible collection. He is also a great guy with a terrific sense of humor.

    Welcome Jim! I have been absent from these boards for quite some time now (health issues) and I`m just checking in now to see what`s up. Good to see a new comer with such enthusiasm for the old sets. I can honestly say that Don is very knowledgeable about vintage cards and is one of THE best collector`s out there that I have run across. He will be more than happy to discuss `59`s with you! image Again, welcome!!

    Another beauty, Don. Got to see these two guys play at County Stadium in 1959 when I was 12. They played the Giants who had some other guy named Mays??? on the team. Can't remember what he looked like - maybe a pic would refresh my memory!!!

    Those 59 Sporting News Rookie Star cards were cool, and unique. Too bad there were not many ( any ?) true stars.

    Although 59 "Rookie Star" Kent Hadley may have died knowing that one of his Topps 1960 cards was a true Holy Grail of the post war hobby
