Yes, I am probably the person you bought the 1963 Topps or was it O-Pee-Chee wrapper with Musial on it.
John Wallenstein was general manager of the Wichita Aeros before he came to Tulsa in 1975. He produced the 1973 Wichita Aeros set sponsored by the Kansas State Bank. In 1974 he produced the One Day Film Wichita Aeros set. If you check the checklist he is on a card in this set. If you have ever seen a set of these cards it was probably without the Wallenstein because he told me he kept almost all of his own cards. Pretty funny. In 1975, he became the Tulsa Oilers general manager producing the 1975 7-11 set and then the 1976 Goof's Pants set.

I have four or five sets of the 1974 Wichita Aeros, he is the most difficult single card to find.

Chris, those look great! When I looked at the PSA pop report on these, I think there was only one of the signed Paul Dean cards listed. So that's you, eh? Neat! I'm going to try to track down the rest of the set. If you happen to run across any, please let me know!

I love posts and threads that send you off looking for further info...

"Dean played several years of baseball alongside his better-known brother, Jay. Because of his brother's nickname, "Dizzy", Dean also had a nickname, Daffy, but this did not reflect his personality as he was considered quiet and serious. The nickname was mainly a creation of the press."
