He won MVP in 1965! His 1965 Topps card with glasses is also a keeper.
I am of an age where the 1982 Kmart set burned into my brain the MVP winners from each league, each year, from 1962-1981, a recall which I retain to this day...the set shows Topps cards from the year that each MVP winner won (e.g., 1962 Topps Mantle, 1962 Topps Wills).
I remember as an 8-year old thinking, I could just cut-out the image of the original Topps card, and no one would notice...
