Thanks, Steve, and I particularly appreciate the scan of the Chance signature on his 206 portrait. I knew he was buried in Los Angeles, and also that he was a native Californian. However, when looking at his -F it doesn't seem to be the same as the -F of the correspondent on my Grignon. There has been a lot of discussion of the card over on the Memorabilia side of the Board, and it seems as though this was probably some random fan who helped root his team on to the series victory. Who knows?
But, it is an interesting card for the fact that it was postmarked on the day they won the series. And, as a footnote to the Chance connection, Frank did not play in Game five.
Cheers, Mike
