Three cheers for Bazooka for honoring their "obligation." It's worth whatever they spent for all the free publicity.

More importantly, what did the guy do with all the other cards he found? 🤔

Thanks for posting this. Made my day. Reminds me of Back to the Future because he got the scores right!

I thought he wrote in the scores this year when he decided to send it in.

It's funny, because I got two of those contest cards graded through my last PSA submission and just posted them on eBay this afternoon.

Did he have to send in the contest card to redeem? Wouldn't that be more valuable than the glove? (I am assuming a 57 contest card in readonable shape)

That was my first thought, but no matter what the card's worth, the story's worth more.

A redemption card not redeemed would be cool. Hopefully they didn't cancel it.
