Love the card, first it's way out of my price range unless I find one all creased up or something but that is still okay with me. Though I do feel the cards with just the player himself is really what I would be going after in a rookie.

The ML card I'd most like to own is the 1977 Chong Modesto Henderson, which has been faked.

Well not having many forgeries makes me feel better about the Zeenuts. I too have been wanting a 1977 Chong Henderson too, I have tried to buy two of them in the past but that was back in the early '80s. Couldn't strike a deal as they wanted more then I could pay or thought it was worth at the time. Didn't Henderson have 1978 Chong as well? I must have 10 of his TCMA's first card, which I love, but his Chong along with Sandberg and Rypkiens rare minor league cards they have by the TV or Radio stations are also on my list of ones I would like to buy.
