So the theft already happened!

Probably stolen by the Shark while the Jethro’s kin divert the stupid cops attention.

I’d worry about bringing a signed baseball card; someone might think it was part of the exhibit, and he pocketed it!

I have a feeling that the fake jersey comment in the last panel just might actually be true.

I’m not surprised. Some museums can be really shady.

Perhaps it is a replacement for the real jersey, already purloined by the Bodine fils.

Eagle-eye Hector!

I remember seeing online a picture of an exhibit at a museum captioned “Archaeopteryx,” but it was not a real fossil, and it didn’t even look like Archaeopteryx, just some mediocre artist’s impression of an ancient bird or something.

And he was known as Gene, not Eugene. Eugene Benson is a Canadian writer. Not sure which is Armstrong’s great uncle.

Bait for the robbers.

They’ll steal a fortune in Pete Rose memorablia—-and halfway down the turnpike they’ll realize Pete Rose ISN’T in the Hall of fame.

I notice that Benny is nowhere to be seen. Is he still feeling hurt about JoJo’s new friend?(Hector is quite cute, by the way.)

Ways to find the truly interested.

Uh-oh… I have a bad feeling about this.

Could it be… Carla is disguised as Hector?!

I like how this mini-arc was put together; I didn’t realize the obvious.

There weren’t any baseball cards issued of N*gro League players back when the N*gro Leagues were active. (Apparently you can’t write N*gro).
