1959 Kits Mfg Rocky Colavito
The item on the left is a 1959 Kits Mfg plaque of Rocky Colavito, unopened. You can tell if you look closely that the plaque consists of an ornate frame and an inserted card, pre-packaged together. The item on the right is a different version Rocky Colavito card insert, acquired separately. It’s blank backed.
What on earth possessed them to make an alternate card insert? You can argue that the card on the right doesn’t look sufficiently like Rocky, and someone ordered a “do-over,” but that’s just strange in my book. There is a version card of Tito Francona with stamping on the back as a business card, so it is found without a frame, but his pic is identical to his plaque. One of the many hobby mysteries that occupy my mind.
