Picked up a '63 Fleer Bob Gibson, a '72 In Action Willie with ridiculously great centering (too bad about the slight corner touches) and an oddball Jim Bunning. I know KDKA is a radio station is Pittsburgh, PA (and is supposedly the first commercial radio station in the world), but I have no idea what this sucker is. Jimbo was on the Pirates in 68/69 I believe, so it is undoubtedly from that time frame.

If anyone is greatly familiar with '63 Fleers, can you tell me if the 'stain' on the back of my Gibby is SOP for these cards? I figure it has something to do with the cookie the pack held, but I am unsure. Other Fleers I have seem to possess very similar anomalies and I want to make sure it's not the remains of paste or something else put there directly by humans after it left the factory.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
