Diamond Kings Blaster ... 5/5 mini relic ... Old Tomato Face
|
Hey, just pulled a 5/5 mini relic of Gabby Hartnett from a Diamond Kings Retail Blaster. I'll post a pic when I can. Nice thick card with a piece of uniform 'piping' ...
So, anyone know why this guy's got the nickname Old Tomato Face? ![[Image: Ch4Mt.png]](http://i.imgur.com/Ch4Mt.png) I guess if I saved used tinfoil and used tea bags instead of old comic books and old baseball cards, the difference between a crazed hoarder and a savvy collector is in that inherent value. 
That is an awesome hit Doc!

Yeah, any time I can add a HOF catcher to the collection, I'll take it.  Glad I had to go to Walmart for a plumbing part. That turned out pretty good, even though it wasn't my intention to get cards.

I read up a bit on him and I guess it was because of his poor complexion....maybe as a result of severe acne as a kid. Cool card, BTW!
Awesome hit! I'd offer a trade but just noticed you are PCing it. Congrats!

Or a Yankees catcher relic ... Bill Dickey trade would be a 'no-brainer' for me.

Cool card, BTW!I read that his nickname 'Gabby' was 'ironic' because he wasn't very 'gabby' at all. Never heard anything about his 'Old Tomato Face" moniker, though... But your info seems like a logical reason for the name.

DAMN!! I sure wish they would bring in the DK to my local stores.
