I think there are only around 30 in all grades. I've always loved the unique design of the piece and the write up on back. Joe D has three fresh and beasty hard early cards: the Zeenut, the v355, and this OPC. I love cards on VCP with next to no sales!
I think Joltin Joe's 56 would be impossible to break in today's media spotlight. It hasn't even been challenged, really. The man hardly ever struck out. I'm in awe of his baseball reference stats.

He also got horizontal with Marilyn Monroe!
Congrats on another great pickup. Great card.
