When it comes to adding cards to the 2/14 collection, any port in a storm will do for some people. Hollywood-themed cards are part of this quite frequently, where autographed cards tend to command a sum far beyond what I want to pay. So, I'm happy with a card or two from a release of their TV show or film. 2-14-94 (that's
1894) baby Jack Benny did have a couple cards from the time he was still alive, but I didn't want to spend
$15 to add him.
I guess it is appropriate that I was cheap for a card for Jack Benny.
However, a couple dollars to add a card that was from some
sort of 1987 board game is more my speed.
He really should have been #39 in the set.
I'm guessing he's the first person with
his footprints immortalized outside Grauman's to make the binder.
I got your cheap reference. Great inscription in the cement.
ReplyDeleteI believe the Marx Brothers worked with Jack in vaudeville when he was going by the name, Benny K. Benny. If I'm not getting my stories mixed up.
