Jewish baseball card collectors around the world (all five of you) rejoice! Fleer has finally gotten it together to issue a Jewish All-Stars set. It comes with 142 Major League players. The set doesn’t come cheap. You need to give a $100 donation to the American Jewish Historical Society, plus $5 for shipping. Silver ($200 donation) and Gold ($500 donation) versions are also available. Interestingly, the dinner served at the Baseball Hall of Fame to celebrate the release will be the first ever Kosher meal served there.
We here at Jmerica actually like basketball better than baseball, but we doubt we’ll see an NBA Jewish All-Star set in our lifetime (or anyone else’s).
Big ups to the Hank Greenberg fans out there! If Shawn Green’s in there, though, I want my money back.
