I hope someone is enjoying owning that card as we speak.

Well....maybe.... if that McGinnity ended up in a "Bargain Barn" in Georgia circa 1977.
We were on vacation heading to Florida, when dad decided to get off the interstate and take the scenic route. We stopped at this run down place in Georgia, and it was loaded with ball cards. I only had $20 or so, and bought McGinnity and Casey for $5.00, out of the 100 or so T 206's. The old man had Goudeys, complete Topps runs up to about 1970.
I also bought the complete 68 Cardinal team set, and turned down for a $1 a piece Fleer all time greats.
A couple years later we returned to Georgia, stopped at the place, but the old man had just died, and his son auctioned off all the contents.
