In the early 1980's, my mom took me to a local card show where Kaline was signing autographs. I got two autographs - one on a promo photo, the other on a pale orange index card that I brought with me. I was super excited to meet him and after receiving the autographs, I wanted ao fine an Al Kaline card. For whatever reason, I ended up buying this beater. This card, and my fascination with it, lead to wanting to complete the 1956 Topps set. Approximately 40 years later, I am down to needing only 5 more cards. My completed (basic) set will number 343. It will include two #20 Al Kaline cards. A PSA 7 to match the condition of the other major stars...and this card. The first 1956 card I purchased all those years ago.
