Why is the 'Nat'l' so special??
Any info / refs. are appreciated.

This card first came to the public eye in 1987 in the "Sports Card Collectors Digest." You may want to see is that periodical is at a local library, but here is a link I found on google from an old REA auction that talks alot about it, and it mentions that 1987 periodical.
