If Artie would have lived one more day, he would have seen his Giants win the World Series. A star in the Negro Leagues who had too brief of a shot in the majors as a 31 year old "rookie", Wilson batted .402 for the Birmingham Black Barons in 1948 and was a star in the Pacific Coast League in the 1950's.

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
