Except Ted Williams. He never sucked. I'll be buried with my Ted Williams cards. He hit .406 in 1941. Coulda sat out the last game with a .3995 and gone in the book as .400, but he played, and he went four for five. Ted Williams, he never sucked
Yeah they all think I suck, but they really wish their stuff sold like mine. Next I'll do "Nude Descending a Staircase." I'll get a hundred grand for it! Let 'em suck that!
