There is also a certified autographed card that he signed in the box where the printed autograph is on the base. I wrote to him around the time this came out to send him the card and ask him some questions. He not only signed the card but replied to all my questions. (The one I remember was "Who is your favorite baseball player?" to which he responded "Bob Keegan, since he and I were friends in college.") The card and response letter are definitely among my favorite pieces of baseball memorabilia. I did later pick up the certified one, but I prefer the one I got back from him directly.Steve F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00753488569249068229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27257197959732447.post-47427018502366774712009-09-03T12:39:11.923-04:002009-09-03T12:39:11.923-04:00Glad to see that others recognize the importance o...Glad to see that others recognize the importance of Sy Berger's contribution to baseball and baseball cards.Golden Age Baseball Cards Hall of Famehttp://www.goldenagebaseballcards.com/hall_of_fame.htmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27257197959732447.post-39218636742144959452009-09-01T21:02:19.649-04:002009-09-01T21:02:19.649-04:00Wow, I grew up right up the block on 39th street a...Wow, I grew up right up the block on 39th street and 5th Avenue. My grandfather used to work at Bush Terminal in the 40's and 50's. I am going to ask my dad if my grandfather brought home any baseball cards back in the day.babootsnanoreply@blogger.com
