Default My best pickup in months

Value wise this isn't extravagant, but it's worth a mint to me. I found this Type 1 of John Norlander on the Bay for 10 bucks. I immediately recognized that it was the photo for his 1948 Bowman, his only card I know of. The name and address of Paul Hoffman has meaning on the back as he was a team member of John on the Washington Caps at the time. Somehow he must of been given these photos during the Bowman release.

Here's the best part of the story - John here is my step-fathers dad. I will be freeing the Bowman from the slab here and putting a very neat framed Christmas package together with these two for my Dad, and that makes this worth a million.
