I was in the mood for a Stan Musial autograph. I have a couple, but no certified on-card autographs. This card was not expensive, so I pulled the trigger.
Just in case you forgot how insanely good Musial was…
During his 22-season big league career, Musial was selected to 24 All-Star teams, won seven batting titles. was a three-time MVP, and finished in the Top 10 in MVP voting 11 more times. That is…impressive.
