Collecting vintage cards allows you to see all the wear and tear that cards suffered during the past half century. I recently found a 1968 Topps Donn Clendenon that had really sharp corners and no major surface wear. However, the card has a lil extra writing on it. Why? Well because one of the previous owners wanted to update their Clendenon with a team that Donn never played for.
Over a 12 year career, Donn played for the Pittsburgh Pirates, Montreal Expos, New York Mets, and St. Louis Cardinals. He was a member of the Amazin' Mets of 1969.
One team he never played for though was the Phillies.
Evidently the owner of this card, wanted to make a fantasy baseball team with him to be on the Phillies. Anyway, I grabbed the above card for a quarter at the weekly flea market near me.
