I used to have a facsimile of that card, along with facsimiles of the Topps 1952 Mickey Mantle and about six or seven others that were extremely rare. They came into GREAT use when I was in college and had to give a one-on-one speech, so I choose the history of baseball cards. I pulled out my facsimiles and then went in for the coupe-de-gracie. My uncut sheets of the premiere set of baseball cards by Donruss. I explained how cards started something you got in packs of cigarettes, and how that led to Honus Wagner having the single most valuable baseball card in the history of mankind's history! And ended my speech 5 minutes later by pulling out these sheets to show how baseball cards are printed before the slicer comes along to give us individual baseball cards. When my speech ended, I had all these females come running up to where I was, asking about what they should do with their husband's, or their boyfriend's, or their father's baseball cards!

My professor came up to me after everybody had left. She told me my speech was probably a B- at best, but the reaction I got from all my "target audience" (namely, every woman in the room) she had to give me an A.

To this day, it's the only time I've ever had a group of women come running towards me that WEREN'T carrying knives and trying to run me out of town!!

So seeing that old baseball card brought back that memory. Thank you Joel. That was fun!
