Thanks, Ted. Great story, and I'm glad you also included the other story of why Bowman had to discontinue printing Mr. Williams. A shame, really, since the '54 Bowman is a nice-looking card of Ted. Even if I don't own one, I'm sure glad Topps didn't go after the Wilson Franks people for their printing of a Ted Williams in their "little innocuous set" (ha, anything but, in the minds of hobbyists today!!!!)

I commend you, as I always do whether I acknowledge it on here or not, for sharing from your treasure trove of stories, information, and images. Have a swell day, my fellow collecting warrior.

I am sending you a PM on another subject. Please help if you can. Trust me, it's in good taste.
