November pickups

Since getting back in to the hobby, there are certain cards I remember ogling from afar when I was a kid...legendary players whose exploits reached Bunyan-like levels of legend....this was one such player for me... despite having no Cardinals affinity, I remember looking at this rookie at one of the many Valley Forge Convention Center shows that my dad drove me to (with my $50-$75 in pocket to spend)...to finally attain such a nice copy, even with that slight bit of off-centeredness, has been one of the true thrills and highlights of my collecting renaissance....and what was especially nice was showing this to my dad while visiting him in Pennsylvania today, 25+ years later after these shows and having him say, "Wow...Bob Gibson!! Did I ever tell you about this guy...."
