As usual, nothing earth shattering, but a pair of 62's in pretty nice shape to upgrade my set a bit…

Great pick up Ron. As a Japanese American whose mom and grandparents were interned in WWII, I really appreciate his place in history and some of the barriers he must have faced. His story seems under publicized and I for one am ashamed for not even knowing who he was until a few years ago. I'd love to pick up some of his cards some at some point.
