BobMartin- I think that qualifies as the best pickup I have ever heard of in my days of collecting. WOW!
This is my favorite pickup. Paid $55 on ebay for it 6-7 years ago, have been offered $2000. It is a 1/1. The debate rages on whether or not it is a proof for a set which was never issued. Who knows? It is not one of the "notebook cover" cards Frank Ward uncovered with E95s and E96s on it. The key is the caption showing Chance with the Yankees, not the Cubs as on the E95 card. The time frame, being with the Yankees, lends credence to the belief it was a proof of a card in an intended set which never came in to fruition. I also have a Kling Boston and Keith Olberman has a Davis Cleveland, all appearing to be proofs from the same projected set. A mystery...
