Nice one! I will agree that the purple and the flag design of '65 Topps is the better frame for this picture, but this ain't a bad Willie card at all. I used to have a raw one that was about EX, but traded it to the LCS for something or another back a few months ago.

I probably could have found one twice as nice for half the price, but still . . . .

It still confuses the heck out of me seeing old clips or pictures from the 60's of 'Pops' patrolling the outfield. For my generation, he was the quintessential first baseman...not an outfielder!!!!!

And that's a very cool card!
