Thanks to a friend via Youtube (Kyle, Writer1984) he told me about this one- and I pounced! So excited to finally have a Benny The Jet autograph in my PC! It's on al 11 x 14 photo!

For the big add though: from 1952-1955 Red Man Tobacco produced baseball cards. Each year, at the bottom of each card there was a tab that could be cut off the card. If someone collected 50 tabs and mailed them in to Red Man, they would send you back an MLB cap of your choice of 16 different MLB teams. These hats are very rare, and even more rare in good condition. Here's the one I now VERY proudly own!!
