Significance of autograph (priceless):
Bring back the good ‘ole’ days when baseball was just a game.  Click the article link and see what we mean.  Regardless, in this game three future HOF’s (Cepeda, Mays, & McCovey) collected six hits, six RBIs, and score five times. But even better, Marichal also a future HOF, one of baseball’s premier starting pitchers … comes on in relief and then Mays wins it for him with a home run in the tenth.   Wouldn’t you have loved to have been at that game.
That’s what’s unique about these box score cards … in some ways you’re there again.
Note: The history behind getting these four historic HOF signatures on this game card is a story in itself.
