As a set collector it was a challenge to get all 3 of his 1959 card variations. Initially Topps printed the card with his DOB on the back as 1931. Apparently after detecting that error they smudged the 3 for some number of runs, before then issuing a corrected 1921 card. The latter was the harest for me to find, and seems to command the highest premium



In my experience, this in one of his toughest Topps "cards", second only to the 55 version
