Figured my primary collecting focus should at least have its own thread. Hopefully there are more Campanella collectors out there.

Chris, congratulations on finally getting your Campanella rookie. Looks great and the centering can't be beat.

Happy to see you got that one.
It was one of the most touching and memorable nights in all of baseball on this night. 93,103 fans packed the LA Coliseum for an exhibition game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees. Sandy Koufax pitched for the Dodgers and lost to the Yankees, 6-2. It was Roy Campanella Night. The star catcher for the Dodgers, paralyzed in an automobile accident, was honored for his contributions to the team for many years. ‘Campie’ continued to serve in various capacities with the Dodger organization for many years.

A tool with a fifty-two. It's worth a double post.

Thanks, Paul! Your definition of affordable is much different than mine, however. But selling that second kidney was worth it and I'm learning to function normally again.

was this game the Dodgers vs. The Dodgers?
<< <i>Has anyone noticed on the 1956 Topps Campanella there is a dodger player sliding into Roy Campanella?
was this game the Dodgers vs. The Dodgers? >>
I believe they used a generic picture and just painted it with the player on the card. The game in question could have been the Cardinals versus Cubs and not involved Campy at all. But it is a cool picture!

That should be the Yankees and therefore would be Yogi Berra. The bald head and number 8 would confirm this
