The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer ,filling the afternoons and evenings and leaves you to face the fall alone.

Cliff at http://www.capewood.blogspot.com/ said he was interested in post career Steve Carlton cards (as a Phillie). Cliff, I found this Playoff Portraits 2003 #119 of Steve Carlton. Back of Card says:"Lefty" paved his path to the Hall of Fame by staying in top condition and staying on top of hitters with laser-guided control of his lethel slider. The four-time Cy Young winner collected 329 wins, 4,136 Ks and two Worlds Series rings in a career that spanned three decades. Cliff, I am also still looking for other cards too.
