As part of the Great Fire Sale That Wasn't, Charlie Finley let the White Sox kick the tires on Sal Bando. Bando was granted free agency after the 1976 season and signed with the Milwaukee Brewers.

1976 Topps Traded: The Missing Cards - #643T Minnie Minoso

Minnie Minoso made history in September 1976, when White Sox owner Bill Veeck, Jr., activated the great hitter. Veeck did it to let Minoso lay claim to competing in four decades. This feat was highlighted as part of the "Record Breaker" subset in the 1977 Topps set (card #232).

Because Minoso's last regular-player card came in the 1964 Topps set, I checklisted this Missing Card on #643, a checklist.

Harry Caray Bobblehead Trade Challenge


Forget the cards for a second. That's right, I want to trade this Harry Caray bobblehead to you. But here's what you have to do: You have to offer me a better trade than anyone else. My Keeper List is available to view (see link in sidebar at right), but don't let that hold you back. You want to trade me $80 in first class postage? How about a signed and numbered Dan McCarthy print? Or a few rare souvenir postcard folders?

Here's what I know about this bobblehead:

1) It was made in 2002 by Bosley Bobbers
2) It's still in its original box
3) The box says it's a limited edition
4) It currently retails for $79.95 on eBay (link)
5) I don't know where I got it

Here's what you should do if you want to add this bobblehead to your collection: email me with your trade idea. The best idea will get Harry and his enormous glasses, bobbling for all eternity.
