The Score on Pete Johnson – 6.0
These came back looking pretty good from Pete. I didn’t realize how many of those “In Action” cards I had signed from that set. I think there are a few I could pay for if I really wanted to go for that. I think that is my favorite of these from Pete but you can see there’s a little bit of the ink smudged off.
Thanks Mr. Johnson! I’m giving this return a 6.
