The Cardboard Connection is having a contest where you can win 1 free hobby box of 2010 Topps Allen & Ginter. All you have to do is e-mail them a list of five cards you would like to see in 2011 Allen & Ginter. Click here for all the contest details.
There are a ton of people I would like to see in Allen & Ginter. I found it difficult to narrow it down to just five, but here is my list:
- Jefferson Burdick – author of The American Card Catalog.
- Steve Jobs Auto – Co-Founder of Apple.
- Harry Kalas Cut Signature & Tie Relic – Phillies Hall of Fame broadcaster.
- Bob Uecker Auto – “Mr. Baseball” and 2003 Ford C. Frick Award winner.
- Ball Park Franks – Hygrade Food Products won a competition in 1959 to be the exclusive supplier of hot dogs to the Detroit Tiger’s stadium. Hygrade Food Products launched a contest to its employees in order to come up with the best brand name for their Detroit Tigers stadium hot dogs. Mary Ann Kurk, one of Hygrade Food Products sales people at the time, won the contest with the name “Ball Park Franks”.
In addition to this list, I would also like to see a card of Carl Stotz, who founded Little League Baseball. So who or what would be on your list?
