I picked this up as part of a two card lot, the other card being Joe Page, so I picked up the famous "error" couple in one swing. Though obviously these are the corrected versions. I've yet to make up my mind as to what I think if this card. I either really like the red/yellow background, or can't stand it. I think it's one of those things thats going to have to be revisited over the years before I can say for certain.
