Had I known as 2nd & 3rd grader…carrying my rubber-banded stack of baseball cards in my back pocket (like George Costanza’s wallet)…that not only was this a toy, but a potentially valuable toy! Sadly, no Honus Wagner…but some “Big M’s” like Mantel, Maris, Mays, & McCovey, were fairly easy to come by…it could’ve evolved into those fantastic thoughts of winning the PowerBall…with a Matchbox car!

Great piece of nostalgia, Mark

I clearly remember the cards of the almost greats - Ron Santo, Joe Pepitone, Julian Javier, Bernie Carbo. Those sure were fun toys.
