Thanks. I'm going with the Geddes Witmer as his first "card" still, other than the 1961 Chocolates Simon I posted a while ago.

I've wanted this for a long time, Meryl's "rookie" which is part of a two card 1980 Telepop thing.

New card I got in a lot I bought for another set in it. Kit Carson, from the E50 Dockman Wild West Gum series, who lived one of the more interesting lives in American history. I like the artwork, even if its fairly simple, a lot more than the similar American Caramel issue of the period.

I know I am playing fast and loose by including this recent pick up in a thread of "great historical figures," but I really like this pick up in a card format of the iconic Bob Jackson photo of Lee Harvey Oswald being killed while handcuffed to James Leavelle.
I am not much of an autograph guy, but this is one of America's most famous images. I am a JFK assassination buff, and there are really not any LHO card options other than a few modern cards that can be had for $1-2. Leavelle was an extremely willing through the mail signer for decades, but it is not often you see his autograph without a personalization. I will say I have always found it at least somewhat odd how receptive both Leavelle and Secret Service agent Clint Hill have been to sign anything related to the assassinations of both Kennedy and Oswald.
