STAN MUSIAL ST LOUIS CARDINALS CUSTOM CARD '56 STYLE #348 / NM+ COND.

Description: This card was created by the late Bob Lemke, Editor of the Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards. This is not one of the cards Bob made on his home printer. He ordered a few professionally printed versions of his most popular custom cards, including this one. There are some dealers selling home made copies of Lemke's work - this is not one of them. One printing of 100 cards were printed on a printing press in 2012 under Bob Lemke's authorization and for him to mail to his fans. Here is what Bob said on his blog when he created this card: "If you ever collected 1956 cards, you might recognize the background of my custom as originally appearing on Rip Repulski's card. I decided to flip the image horizontally for a more aesthetically pleasing (at least to me) composition. The portrait is something I found on the internet and colorized. The backs of 1956-style cards are always a challenge. I try to find cartoons on original '56s that match the career highlights I've chosen. The cartoons I used on my Musial are from the cards of Wilmer Mizell (center), Glen Gorbous (right) and Don Blasingame (left).." 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.
