2023 Iowa Collection Update: Non-Sport

 Non-sport cards have always been weird to me.  I think it was when I was younger, and there would be packs of cards from some TV show that just wasn't any good and I wondered who these cards were for. Not me!  

Guess who those card were for.  For me!  Well, if there is an Iowa Connection of course.  I'll get to the Hollywood cards in a different post, but here are the non-sport, non-Hollywood checklist that I have built up.  Up top is Hebert Hoover, former President of the United States.  You have the infamous (Buffalo Bill), the historical (Wright Brothers) and a mixture of them the rest of the way.  Safe to say the easiest way to get cardboard made of you is to be a politician from the last 20 years or so as more political sets are being made.  

The biggest additions this year however come from the 2021 Famous Americans set. I went through that checklist and researched everyone (find Wikipedia page, search "Iowa") to see if they had an Iowa Connections. Among the notables added include Ding Darling, John Brown (the abolitionist, not the Wide Receiver), Sam Walton, Frank Lloyd Wright, John Glenn and Amelia Earhart! 

Still, lots of room to grow so it is a fine time to add my Famous Americans to the TCDB trade bucket and see if I can gather up some more of my needs.
