Awesome Al, thanks for sharing. What's the story on the Kuhn card? Never seen one before (I am adsurdly ignorant on pre-80s).

Kuhn Card
He was elected Commissioner in February of 1969. This "card", which is on thin paper stock was produced by Topps presumably for his personal use, maybe like the 1990 Bush card and the two single Joe Garagiola business cards from 1976 and 1991. The back has personal bio info on Kuhn

Interesting, thanks. I find the oddball/test stuff more interesting than the regular issues.

1969 Topps
Al,
Great stuff as always. Is your Bush card the more rare Type 1 or Type 2? Z Wheat

Bush
Got it some time back so sure it must be the "common" version. But have never seen the "premium" version in person so not sure of all the differences. If there are as many as now seems, it is amazing to me that no autographed version has ever shown up. Many/Most of the Garagiloas have autos. Given it was a business card that is not too surprising, but wonder what an authentic Bush auto on one of his "premium" cards would bring.
I am not a graded collector but it is one card I would not buy in it's natural state. There are bound to be fakes coming if not already out there

Al,
The Type 1 is glossy. Here is the article describing these cards: http://www.psacard.com/Articles/Arti...baseball-cards Z Wheat

Bush Card
Have read the articles and do not doubt there seem to be two kinds of cards out there. Like everything else the best way to appreciate differences is to see them in person. Wonder if there are examples now in Chicago

Al, I remember having those stickers like the Aaron you show. Didn't those come with the regular cards in one of the series? I just don't recall what series they might have been with. I know I had some stuck on items around my room.
