Thanks for providing information for Brad. I didn't really know anything about Mr. Pafko outside of his significance in the 1952 Topps set.<br /><br /><br />Matthew - Maybe one day, but it's definitely on the back burner.<br /><br />Jeremya1um - Yeah... the guy who sold me the card told me the same thing.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-84747961190619619402015-07-01T08:17:19.070-07:002015-07-01T08:17:19.070-07:00I've always heard that since the Pafko card wa...I've always heard that since the Pafko card was card #1 in the set that collectors would put their cards in rubber bands and that since many people sorted their cards by numbers that the Pafko card always ended up on top, thereby making it more prone to damage, and making mint copies of the card worth more.

And, to be fair, he was a four-time All-Star and finished fourth in the MVP race in 1945.<br /><br />Great story, Fuji.
