Knocked the second to last high number needed for my 1967 set off of my list. Sure, the centering is off (just like 99% of the cards that year), but it looks like it just came out of the pack, so I'm happy with it. I probably paid much more than I should have for a card with a qualifier, but since my ebay bucks knocked the price way down, I got it for around 20 bucks.

In the early days of the internet at the beginning of this new century, I used to post my want lists on various collecting sites and they would always be rejected for 'inappropriate language.' Ha ha! When I did further research, I discovered that the bad word causing all of the fuss was simply the second syllable of Joe's last name. That's it! So I changed his name to "Adc*ck," and then my posts were readily accepted. Very funny to remember those funny days of yesteryear.

And I thought it was just me! Thanks. Look at the Colavito I posted earlier today...I really never realized the centering issues the '67 set had before deciding to go after it.
