In April, I said I would feature one 1956 Topps card a month from my collection in hopes that by the time I finished the series, I would have the whole set. Well, I featured the first one of Vic Power and got into his very interesting story. Then May came and went, and I completely forgot to show a '56 card. One card into the series and I've failed already. But, looking at it positively, if I take little "unintended" breaks in the series, that will give me more time to hunt down the '56s I need. I still need more than half the set and a ton of the stars. So, I knew there was a reason I skipped May. It was a stalling tactic. Anyway, to get back on track, I am featuring Frank Thomas this time. I know what some of you are thinking: You know Frank Thomas. Frank Thomas is a friend of yours. This is no Frank Thomas. True, this Frank Thomas is not the Frank Thomas that you know from the 1990s "Big Hurt" days. But did you know they were related? Ha! ...
