After seeing the cards in this thread, I tend to agree with you. Originally. I picked up the Hank Perry because we share the same last name. Now I find myself drawn to these cards as much as T206.

Best regards,

Out of curiosity, would someone please post an image of the fantasy Obak card of Melchiore?

I seem to remember it has been shown on this board before...something about the way he runs...

I think you might be thinking of the D311 of Melchoir (top right), quite the running pose. And also to get back on the T212 track and here is a proof sheet shown before but still cool...

Neat oddity here - I've seen a lot of cards missing color passes, but never one missing it's black ink like this one. The card on the left is what the Pfyl should look like

Playing in black flannel uniforms (with top button buttoned) in the Sacramento summer heat must have been insane.
