I have a 1956 Ernie Banks that would probably grade to VG/EX -ish condition, except that it's got a pen line between the hitting and fielding statistics. The reason that I like this card so much is that the guy I bought it from had lots and lots of 56 Topps cards, and all of them had a line between the hitting and fielding numbers. Which means this collection belonged to one kid who, in 1956, said to himself "they really should have done more to show people that the numbers on the left side of the card are very different than the ones on the right", and who then took a pen and made sure that nobody was going to confuse hitting and fielding numbers in HIS card collection. I really like it that I can figure out what some kid was thinking back in 1956 from this card (and the others that were for sale), and that the card tells me about how someone appreciated it before I owned it.
