Just Your Usual 139-Year-Old Baseball Card...

...no, not Julio Franco's rookie card, but close.

This Yahoo! Big League Stew article (H/T to Wendy for this one) is of a woman who found a card made in 1869 of the sport's first professional team.

How cool is that?

In other news, I found some of my Topps baseball cards recently and they had a "Pure Power" series with the big sluggers like Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Juan Gonzalez, Greg Vaughn and Ken Caminiti...are these now worth more because of the way they were named? Just asking...

Maybe we should ask Corky Simpson...
