Obviously this card has some post-production art. But at least it's interesting post-production art. It's also severely off-centered, shows little evidence of ever having "corners," and is pretty well faded. All in all, its one of my favorites.

LOL @ "post-production art". Looks like maybe someone thought his 'Specs' nickname came from 'spectacles'.
ReplyDeleteI never put that together, the "Spec" Shea and spectacles thing. Clever.
