Dormand post cards - Gil Hodges story?
Was going through some old boxes, and found this book from 1976 that (as you can tell by the condition) we used pretty extensively for many years to look up sports memorabilia. It was a cool book with lots of pictures and several nice color sections with pictures of type cards and items I had never seen. Flipping through it, I saw the entry for Dormand postcards, and found it interesting that they called out the scarcity of the Hodges card. Any of you who collect Dormand postcards (and why wouldn't you, since they are beautiful) know that the Hodges card is no longer scarce. I seem to recall hearing that a stash of the Hodges card was found (15-20 years ago?) Was wondering if anyone had the full story. I am guessing the original print run got stuck in a box and lost for many years, but that is all speculation.
