Thanks. The 2 beasts of the collection will be the 59 rookie and the 62 short print. I know many collectors don't like the fact that his rookie card has a pink background, but I like the fact that one of the nastiest pitchers in history of baseball has a pink rookie card and is smiling from ear to ear in the photo.

Grew up in St Louis and went to series in 64, 67 and 68. Pink may have lulled some folks to sleep, and Bob did not get off to a dynamic start, but the 59 set was the first one I finished and that is one of my favorite cards
