I was surprised to find out McDonald was the last non kicker/punter to play without a facemask. There was a video on Youtube about how the NFL was in 1968 and the showed McDonald with either the Browns or Falcons playing without a face mask, I had no idea anyone was playing without a face mask that late especially with the hard shell helmets. That os a special combination of tough and crazy!!! Damn!
A prime example of a player in the card collecting business that was considered a huge prospect but failed to live up to the hype. I won't say he became a "suspect" as he had a decent careerbut his cards did end up in commons boxes. One of the countless examples of why I caution against putting big money into hyped prospects.
Right. It's nice when you are surprised by finding one, years down the road ( I found my Trout rookie, when going through a box about 4 years later. I got lucky i think I only bought 1 hanger of update that year.
To be honest I don't know much about Dean Palmer other than he was a Ranger when I'd get to go to games as young'n. Watching them at that dank Rangers Stadium and then the Glorious Ballpark in Arlington.
@Scobes had the card for trade so I nabbed it along with a few other favorite players.
Turned out to be a great little haul as all the cards are great!

A relative of one of my teammates in high school. He was a grade ahead of me and had forgotten his relative had been drafted by the Expos. Didn't end up getting the Schmidt auto though...

Fun one #d 1/50.....
My favorite set. Those Alou brothers seemed to make semi regular apearances on the League Leader batting average cards in that era. And a few years later Rico Carty won the batting title with a 366 aaverage. Weird how that particular stat stuck in my mind all these years later.
A few oddities on the stats on ths card. How about slugger Willie Stargell having a higher BA (.315) than Pete Rose (.313)? And Willie McCovey having a higher BA (.295) than Willie Mays (.288)?
