Juliethe whole column! The Rube Walker was NOT the last card he needed (someone found him a Campanella later in the movie), but he had despaired of being able to find the '55 common. I wish I could remember the name of the player in the '74 set he traded for it--it was a good player, but Rocky had three of them (the '74s had just come out--in the movie).
At the only show I set up at, I put up a board with "1955 BROOKLYN DODGERS" on it, and all the cards in were in sandwich bags, like Rocky Dennis's. I also wrote his poem on the board "These things I like--these things are a drag."
