Thanks PACKS for the scan of Mr. Coimbre's Toleteros card, and the brief history of his enormous contribution to the Pirates. I learned something from you! Also, I appreciated the quote you provided from Satchel Paige on pitching to this gentleman. That puts his significance in a much brighter light. I don't know how you display your cards, but a small "museum type" of paragraph consisting of the words you just shared with us would be very beneficial to anyone who cast a glance at your beautiful card of Francisco, then read what you wrote. No one with an ounce of baseball history appreciation would fail to be immensely impressed by the man and a rare baseball card of him.

Your one card carries a great deal of weight and significance, mated with your knowledge of its importance.

A shout out of appreciation to you, bro. Have a peaceful weekend. --Brian Powell
