Photo from an early 70’s newspaper article showing Mastro, my father (left), and Honus. Caption mentions the $1500 Wagner also referenced by SCD in original post.

I like that the caption begins with "Believe it or not" concerning the $1500 purchase price (in 1973). Of course our modern day minds automatically convert what was supposed to be considered an outrageously expensive cost for a piece of cardboard to "Holy can of sardines, only $1500!!!!
