Well, here is a picture of the 1967 World Champion St. Louis Cardinals to start 1968 off with. It's actually more on postcard stock with a blank back. Al, you've been to a few WS games in St. Louis. Is there anybody alive who has been to a World Series game at Wrigley Field??? hee hee..... sorry Cub fans.

Your wish is my command. This is a tough panel, maybe all the 68's are tough? I don't know, but I looked for years. I think I've only seen 1 or 2 others on Ebay in 10 years. Also pictured is his page from the Tipps from the Topps pamphlet which is the same as the card, but in black and white.

Interestingly enough, in the booklet, Maury Wills instructs on sliding, Bert Campaneris in base stealing, and Brock on base running.

LOL. No one under 30 knows what an ash tray is used for, or why anyone needed them.

Actually, yes: former Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens was at the "Called Shot" game in 1932.
