eBay Pick-Up: 1951 Bowman Vernon Law RC

I mentioned in my post yesterday that I had picked up a two card lot on eBay recently. I am offering the 1951 Bowman George Kell card up for trade. The reason I bought the lot was for this 1951 Bowman Vernon Law rookie card. My parents got me a book for Christmas called Kiss It Good-bye: The Mystery, the Mormon, and the Moral of the 1960 Pittsburgh Pirates by John Moody. It was a great book! John was just a kid (6 or 7 years old) during the 1960 season so he provided details from what he remembered from that time period growing up in Pittsburgh as well as information he gained from interviewing every living member of the 1960 Pirates team. The book focuses on John's boyhood idol, Vernon Law. While reading the book, I decided to pick up a vintage Law card and I found this rookie card and feel in love with it.

Trade Bait: 1951 Bowman George Kell

I picked up this 1951 Bowman George Kell card in an eBay auction last month. It was a two card auction, both cards were from the 1951 Bowman set. I bought the lot because of the other card, so I'm offering this one as trade bait. The condition is far from perfect but it's a great looking card that is over 60 years old. Let me know if you are interested. I'm looking for a bat card of a member of the 3000 Hit Club in return. You can see which players I still need here. I included a scan of the front and back of the card. If you look in Beckett is will have an UER next to it. Just for fun, see if you can find what the error is.

Kell was a 10 time All-Star and is a Hall of Famer. His 1949 AL batting title denyed Ted Williams a Triple Crown that year.
