Adam, 45 years ago I was a raving Ted Williams collector, and the number one dream card on my list was the 1954 Wilson Franks Ted Williams. I wanted one so bad ......... Short to short, I came oh so close to buying a nice EX-MT specimen at the 1974 Midwest Sports Collectors Convention at Troy, Michigan. The experience was so heart-wrenching to me as a collector, I wrote a chapter about it in my book, NEVER CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN. It's the twelfth chapter, "The One That Got Away". One major, major
and sad
.
To this day, I cannot laugh about it, or think about it very long.
Wishing the best in your pursuit of the very finest Teddy Ballgame ever printed.
