Love the Reggie card! I have his actual rookie card- and a counterfeit card that a customer tried to sell me in 1984. I bet that you own that card too, Chris, and you probably have it stored next to your 2012 Nationals Badge-as a momento!
nice idea
I ‘ll try for a Schmidt and see how they look. Card Packs look cool. These would really look good hanging in a hobby shop! Thanks.
