Agreed. Relating to the same point but in a different context is my 1947 Tip Top Bread Ralph Kiner. Some avid fan back in its day took the time to write in fountain pen, "51 homeruns in 1947." Obviously, this defaces the card, but it was in poor-good at best anyway, and I like to think that someone with the same enthusiam I have for Kiner (one of my favorite players since I was a kid, although I never actually saw him play) treasured his performance and his card!

Great thread,

Larry
