Nice card. I had a lower grade version of that as a kid back in the early 90's, but it did not survive into my current collection. The Duke is quite a bargain these days. Back in the heyday of hobby explosion which started in the 1980's, he wrote a book and enjoyed some of that same spotlight as his contemporaries in the song, Mickey and Willie. But anymore their cards are way more pricey. Ok by me, as that means a legend still in his own right like Snider is even more affordable.
