A blog about the cards I get awesome deals on, cards that I have available to trade, trades and our hobby in general. I collect Braves cards (all of them) and T206 White Borders.
Just came across this from last year - his grandson was drafted by the White Sox https://www.myheraldreview.com/sports/grandson-of-rex-allens-drafted-by-chicago-white-sox/article_15ac2071-48e2-5764-954a-5cd71b1a74ee.html
Sounds like he had a tough childhood with family dropping like flies but came out ok.
ReplyDeleteI did not know that Rex was not his birth name!
ReplyDeleteWinner. Thank you! Interesting stories as to how people became Masons.
ReplyDeleteGot to admit, I've never heard of him. Lots of Allens in entertainment at the time - Fred Allen, Steve Allen, etc.
ReplyDeleteHaha since I mentioned the Masonic posts were going out on Saturdays they've moved to Sundays. They're onto me!
ReplyDeleteAll of these are interesting reads.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how many people under say 50 even know who Rex is/was these days? I 'd hazard a guess that it's not very many.
