Thanks for posting this, Dave.
Satchel has long been a favorite pitcher of mine. I remember getting a Shakey's Pizza card of Paige when I was a kid and my dad told me about what a fascinating man and incredible player he was.
I've since collected every Paige card released from 1948-1994, with the exception of the 1948-49 Leaf. After 1994, "new" baseball card releases became sort of a wasteland. Besides being designed in the most ugly way possible, I can't see dropping $4 on a pack that has five cards in it, even if there is the hopes of getting a piece cut off of some legend's jersey. Bleh!
