Bet you what's left of my card-buying budget that you can't find 2 cards from same set prettier than this

Going with one of the cards I just got back from PSA. Big fan of the old photos in the modern sets. This one of them Lou Brock stood out to me so had to get it graded.

Lou Brock was widely regarded as a player of integrity, fairness, and sportsmanship, both on and off the field.

Teammates, opponents, and historians consistently described Brock as humble, respectful, and dignified, even as he revolutionized the stolen-base game. He played hard but clean, never taunted opponents, and was known for preparation, self-discipline, and respect for the game. Off the field, Brock was admired for grace, generosity, and quiet leadership, later devoting himself to education, business, and community work.

In baseball history, Lou Brock is remembered not just as a transformational athlete, but as a true ambassador of the game.
