1964 Topps Football "uncommon common"
 

A good number of card collectors are unaware that a common player in the 1964 Topps Football set, #48 Ernie Barnes, went on to become a giant of the art world.

I did a write up on the SABR blog for anyone interested in his accomplishments off the field.

Great write up, Jason. I own a couple of those albums and hed never really thought about the artist's background other than to admire his work. thanks for posting.

I had no idea, I'll never look at that card the same again! Love the post.
