Night Owl Cards

Heck of a card. Heck of an image. Wouldn't you love to be Koufax back in the day? I'd settle for being one of those kids back in the day.

Mr. "I Want Every Dodger You Or I Find" frequently rejects ways to acquire more Dodgers. I thought I'd explore that, and then also arrive at my total official, you're never going to REALLY know tally, at the same time. And I'll do it with some Dodger cards I received from Kyle, who runs Nolan's Dugout . He also sent me some other cards, but these ones are Dodgers and fit ...
