There's a little bit more to the story Adam...
A guy from California had some PET cigarette cards listed on Ebay and I was interested in several of them. I contacted him directly and we exchanged several emails. I then asked if he had any other similar cards hoping for maybe a few Kopecs... When he said yes and sent me a scan of a Capitol Candy card I asked if he had others. I remember reading about this issue based on the 1912 Olympics years ago and it was speculated that a Jim Thorpe could exist. He then proceeded with sending several scans and the last scan was Jim Thorpe. We then came to an agreement on price for the group but he would only complete the transaction through a BIN on Ebay. You can't imagine how anxious I was thinking someone could hit this BIN before I do once he lists it... Anyways, I ended up with it and I still believe its the only one known to exist.

Mid-1960s Buffalo Bills matchbooks
I have a Butch Byrd matchbook from 1965--hoping to find other players and years from 1965-1968 (Lincoln, Stratton, Burnett, Kemp).
But I guess my white whales are 65 Topps Namath, and a few toughies from the 1963 Fleer set (Alworth, Buoniconti, Dawson).

Yes, that's the one. I have it in an SGC holder now. I'll try and send a scan next time I get it out...

That's why it's been on the top of my want list for five years! Cool card, and it's not even mine, just like a picture of an old girlfriend you carry around in your wallet, or in this case a girl you just saw a picture of in a magazine.
This should be read to that " Your Beautiful" song.

I would like to acquire a 1977 Topps Mexican Steve Largent, but that card is out of my price range. My number 2 most wanted is a 1952 Bowman Large Charley Conerly for my set.
