Not a card, but my favorite Foster item from my first time meeting him.
We went to a single A game in Charleston, WV, 15-20 years ago and sat just across the aisle from Foster. Out of respect we left him alone.

He sets up in the main walkway during Reds spring training and a $10 donation to his charity gets you a sig and picture with him. Ended up spending about 5-10min talking with him since there was no one else in line and he was cracking jokes with my son. Really down to earth guy and he was all smiles the whole time.

Couple of my personal favorites.
One more...

IT CAN'T BE A TRUE PLAYOFF UNLESS THE BIG TEN CHAMPIONS ARE INCLUDED
When I was really young, for some reason I always thought George Foster's chin was out to kill me. Once he retired those thoughts moved on to John Elway's mouth. After Elway retired, there was a little lull, but then Brad Kesolowski came around ....his mouth still could kill me. And now I gotta deal with Aaron Judge's mouth in my nightmares for another 20 years.
