The one card I still want to find evidence of, even though it's not in a baseball set per se is a 1955 Topps Hocus Focus #97. It remains the sole card in the 126 count set I have no info for.

As many of you may know, in the 1955 Topps Hocus Focus Set (small) had sort of a different dynamic. They had #11, #17, and #19 listed as "unknown".

As a Cardinals collector I was just hoping one of those were not a Cardinals player if ever found. Unfortunately, a few years after this thread started it was discovered that #19 was Wally Moon, a Cardinal. I was like, "well, that means one of those will never be in my collection", even though I already had the Harvey Haddix.

Then, I got lucky. I am pretty sure, Al sent me a lead on one that was found. I ended up getting it for a very good price. As far as I know, there are 3 in existence....mine, Al's, and BMW Sportscards (PSA 5 or 6). It is definitely an unreplaceable card and I'm glad to have it.

He is referring to a White Sox version of "... close of the season.", the one shown with that line at the end of the bio is the Red Sox version.

That would be the second best uni-brow in sports history. The best goes to the former University of Kentucky Wildcat and current Los Angeles Laker Anthony Davis!
