Thanks. As a kid, I had a Washington Senators team baseball card and no one would ever trade me anything for it.

Was it Paul Casanova? I seemed to always get three or four of him every year.

That's like the individual card for Don Gullett circa 1972. If you bought 100 Topps cards, about 40 of them would be Don Gullett. Nobody else wanted Don Gullett, either, because everybody had at least a dozen of them. You had to include a cash payment to get anybody to take one..."I'll give you Joe Morgan, Willie Stargell and $20 bucks if you also take these 20 Don Gulletts. Just gimme that Bo Belinsky you got."

"No deal, buddy. If I gotta take 20 Don Gulletts, you gotta sweeten the pot here...I need $40.00 to eat all those Gullettburgers."

That was back around 1972. 20 bucks was a lot of money back then (equivalent to $100 today.)
