so, i picked up an unexpected card at the show last weekend. it immediately jumped to the front of my first dodger binder, as it is the oldest dodger card i own. it's a 1933 goudey john (bud) clancy.
it set me back about 8 bucks. i appreciate the fact that it is so clearly a dodger card, even though i knew nothing of clancy until i saw the card. even then, i knew only that he had at one time played for them. i know now that he spent one season with brooklyn - conveniently it was 1932 which facilitated this card.
clancy was a first baseman who hit over .300 in that lone dodger season which was sandwiched between a few years with the white sox and a final campaign with the phillies, which is not to mention his extensive minor league career.
it's nice to have you on board, bud.
