Tigers Card Tuesday... 1960 Topps Al Kaline All-Star

Today's Tigers Card Tuesday has been delayed a couple of weeks because my arthritis simply refused to cooperate.

The one and only, Mr. Tiger, Al Kaline was a 18x All-Star, and I've been wanting his 1960 Topps AS card for a very long time.

    1960 Topps #561 Al Kaline

As the 1960 Topps cards were making their debut, I was making mine, over at Borgess Hospital in Kalamazoo, on February 19, 1960.

That's why the Kaline AS card is so special to me... I love the number 60 behind the Kaline shadow. 


➡️ In 1959 Kaline batted .327, with 27 homers and 94 RBI, securing his appearance as a 1960 Sport Magazine All-Star Selection. 


🤲 The only time I had actually held a 1960 Kaline AS card was at a local show here in Kalamazoo a couple of years ago, when I didn't have enough money to buy the card.

Now I have completed my 1960 Topps bookends of the great Tigers right fielder.

Have a great week... Play BALL! 🐱
