I am so close, I can taste it. When 2008 Allen & Ginter’s baseball hit the market nearly two years ago, there was one insert set I absolutely geeked over — the Baseball Icons inserts. These mini inserts exemplify all that is good about the hobby. No foilboard, serial numbering or flashy design. Just an old-school look and feel featuring the founding fathers of the game and hobby. But, here we are some 22 months after their release and I am missing one card: Jimmie Foxx, BI12. I don’t resort to begging often, but please tell me you have my Jimmie Foxx?
