I've always liked it and happy I have clean example now (as we know many from this era are diiiiiiiiirty).
And the lesser discussed Minoso rookie. Dude was a beast hitter right through the 50s. Found it in great shape so I snagged it.

Nice cards! I always liked the Bobby Hogue card too. So much so I recently upgraded my copy with another black back. Fairly tough card to find centered, that is for sure.
As far as Minoso goes, he is a prime example on how the HOF selections are skewed/flawed. This guy, imo, and many others, is a dead ringer HOF'r but yet it has eluded him for all these years. Shameful, imo.
