This set looks pretty cool. Frederick Douglass was a hell of a man, we all need to hear about him more often.
Uh, no.
oooooohhh.. i'm such a sucker
I am in. Everybody knows Walt Whitman was a baseball fan. Annie (Susan Sarandon) quotes that line in "Bull Durham".
and Henry Clay! He once said "I'd rather be right then be President" he must of been right because he lost the presidential election something like four times. He is like the Buffalo Bills of Politicians.
No, the set isn't cool, or no, Frederick Douglass was a bad person?
I would kill several cute animals to get that Henry Clay card.
ken burns' baseball documentary kicked off with keillor quoting whitman. 'the game of ball is glorious!'
yep, that duke ellington rc is THE pull. i can only hope there's a john coltrane card in the set too.
