Default What card are you thankful for? (See what I did there?)

You don't have to own the card or anything, but in celebration of Thanksgiving, what is one of your favorite cards of all time and why? Post a scan.

1972 was the first year my brothers and I collected cards and Willie Mays was suddenly traded to our beloved Mets early on in the season. My dad was extremely excited and he would regale us with many stories about how incredible a player he was and that he started out in New York on the Giants before they hightailed it to the west coast.

My friends and I instantly became obsessed with getting as many of these cards as possible!! And to this day I smile every single time I see one, thinking of my dad and those long summer days of my youth. And, hey, it's a great picture with that packed house in the background.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
