Jason,
That is really cool seeing them all together.

Couple of things I noticed - I knew tha that the 61 and 70 AS cards were similar but it is really interesting seeing them virtually side by side. I will need to get my binders out to check if there are any other players that had both a '61 and a '70 beside Hank (can't remember if Mays had a '70 AS card).

Aaron didn't have a '69 AS card. I have the set, but since I bought it complete versus card by card, it hadn't really registered that he was not in that issue. Again, I will need to get the binder out to find out who the NL outfielders were - but I know that Aaron went to the AS game - he just might not have started.

Hank is my favorite player of all time. When I was 10, I sent him a letter. He sent me back an 8x10, an index card, and a Babe Ruth reprint with his signature. I also have the big Steiner picture of him hitting 715 off of Downing (signed), an Aaron/Mays signed picture, and a signed baseball.

Congrats on such a cool display.
