Last week we found out about the passing of Giants Hall of Fame outfielder Monte Irvin.
2003 UD Vintage #89 Monte Irvin
One of the interesting things I found out about Monte Irvin is that he donated proceeds from his autograph signings to benefit his alma mater Lincoln University, a Historic Black College just beyond the edge of the Philadelphia suburbs.

For their 2003 set UD swiped the design from 1965 Topps - which makes for a great looking card no matter who is in charge.
Card related Tributes and other Memorials
