I learned my lesson with giving away my 1970s era Cincinnati Reds Scorecard and THEN looking up its value on-line.\u00a0 So I did some checking on this little beauty and found out it was worth … maybe 12 dollars.\u00a0 Oh well. I found someone trying to sell two of them for $25 … or best offer.\u00a0 So it doesn’t seem to be in high demand.\u00a0 But I did find out that it was a popular sports-themed comic strip by Walt Ditzen and it ran from the 1940s until his death in 1976.\u00a0 So the thing is at least 25 years old. I got it (I think) from my Grandfather’s house after his death, along with a few other odds and ends.\u00a0 (I think that’s also where I got the walnut-shaped nutcracker, come to think of it.)\u00a0 But I never knew my Grandfather to be a golfer and it doesn’t particularly remind me of him, so it’s just another item that can be let go. AFTER I discovered that it’s not some rare, valuable antique, I have decided to give it to one of my students.\u00a0 This young man is really into golfing.\u00a0 In fact, he recently wrote a 4 page research paper on why golf balls have dimples.\u00a0 (I haven’t graded it yet, so I can’t pass on the reason why golf balls have dimples at this time.)\u00a0 He’ll probably appreciate it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
