One of my favorite sets - The Ted Williams Card Company. This was available in other sports as well…The Roger Staubach and a Basketball Set

Massive pick up alert!! There are so few cool satchel Page game used patch cards in existence, especially ones that feature is autographed as well. Typically, I don’t like booklet cards, and this might be the first one I have owned. However, it contains pieces of a game warner jersey from this time as a manager for the Atlanta Braves. And also contains a nice copy of his cut autograph from a a high-end brand in National Treasures. These are as rare as hens teeth and outside of an on-card Leaf or 53 Topps autograph, this has to be my favorite satchel page card in my collection. I’ve never seen one come up at auction before, so I made sure I secured this. I would much rather have something like this, then a random low number parallel of a current prospect.
