Back in the early days of this blog, I addressed finding this 1971 Manny Mota lying in pieces at the curb of a busy street while I walked home from school. Since then I've mentioned this same story a couple of more times, including here , because the idea of finding free cards on the street for the taking fascinates me. Since that time in the mid-70s when I found broken ol' Manny, I've probably discovered a stray card on the ground a handful of times.

That brings me to this past Sunday night. I had to go to work, and as I backed out of the driveway and headed past the house, I noticed a small piece of discarded paper in front of the curb. This was nothing worth noting. I live very close to two separate schools and there are kids walking down my street at all times. I'm forever pic...
