Additional Notes

I wonder if the little bit of ink by the Cardinals logo is where the player like ‘tested the pen’ before signing? I see on eBay other cards with no ink there, and some with the ink there. Interesting.

  1. I like the back of the ’59 card. The solid box with card number is nice with the player name and info in the box adjacent. Legit. I always get a kick out of the cartoons as well. My dad was a teenager when this card was printed. Wow.

    1. Totally re: hair. I find that the backs of older cards can sometimes ‘save the card’ as they can have an entertaining cartoon or are in better shape than the front for some reason or another.
