2020 was a rough year for a lot of people...and my In Memorium post is the largest it's ever been, with 54 people. And even at that I'm missing some big names, either because I don't have cards of them or haven't gotten them scanned yet. I really hope 2021's post is smaller.

Since I don't want to end the year on such a sad post, I'm publishing two today. Come back at 5 PM to see my favorite card added each month in 2020.
Always hard to see the list of people who passed away during the year... but I enjoy looking at them in order to remember them. Looking forward to reading your afternoon post.
ReplyDeleteSadly we just lost Dawn Wells Mary Ann from "Gilligan's Island" yesterday 30 Dec. That leaves Tina Louise who played Ginger as the lone survivor from that lovable cast.
ReplyDeleteMan, so many names on the list. R.I.P. to them all!
ReplyDeleteIt always makes me sad to see this post, but I am glad you do a rememberance page to honor them. Some of them were so young.
ReplyDeleteSuch a long and significant list this year. Even though you limited this to subjects in your collection, it was still more detailed than Deadspin's, who skipped over Dale Hawerchuk and Henri Richard but not the entire sport of hockey because they included Travis Roy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments. Afte the post went live Aldo Andretti died from covid. John was his son. Aldo doesn't have any cards of his own but appears on a family card.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know Aldo Andretti died. Bad year for the Andretti family. 😢
