Nice addition to my ladies collection. It's actually a very light shade of blue, but my otherwise exceptional Epson V600, won't pick it up...probably user error.... smh

A few new additions.

Cassius Clay decisions Gennady Shatkov in the quarter finals at the 1960 Olympics. I am friends with the person in Italy who has provided most of the unused 1960 tickets to the hobby. I got this in trade.

There's an interesting article by SABR about this baseball team, including Curtis Myers who may have been on the team for reasons other than baseball.
