Description: About this card: Created on a printing press, not a homemade digital or inkjet product. 200 of this card issued in 2009, no "parallels" or variations were made. Designed and manufactured as a print sample by Monarch Corona Printing Co. Shipped quickly and securely, inside a brand new soft sleeve and rigid toploader. Joe had two tries with Philadelphia & Connie Mack, but he just couldn't adapt to the big city. In those days, southerners like Joe were treated badly, called "rubes" and hazed harshly by the veteran players. Most of organized baseball was in the north, and some players and fans had resentment of southerners. Literature. music, and theater of the era generally portrayed southerners as clueless and lazy morons. Joe was dreadfully unhappy at Philadelphia. His next stop was the minors, at New Orleans - a diverse but distinctly southern city. That's where he found his groove. Contrast: I can't help but think about Rusty Staub. He was raised in New Orleans, and started his career with the Houston Colt 45s. Another southerner. When he was sent as far north as you can get in baseball, to the Montreal Expos in '69, he was treated so kindly and received so much admiration from the fans in Canada, he made it his second home. Guaranteed book value: This card will always be worth more than you paid. The minimum "book value" is the price above. I will buy this card back from you for what you paid any time you ask. Next week, next year, or ten years from now. I can do this only because I know that this card is worth more than I am selling it for. About Grouchy: 21 years selling cards online. Before that, owner of Space City Cards Comics & Coins on Main St. in Houston. As a kid I loved baseball and football, and collected cards starting in 1959 - that's 60 years, but it feels like yesterday. I have bought and sold millions of sports cards over the years. The kids who used to frequent my card shop named me the "Grouchy Old Man" because I had to keep them in line. The nickname stuck. I'm not that grouchy anymore. I have over 100,000 online transactions, with an average feedback score of 100% over the years. COMBINED SHIPPING DISCOUNT Shipping is combined automatically in your cart.
