I've been having a heck of a time locating nice but cheap version of George Scott's rookie card from the 1966 set so I went on a George Scott card buying spree recently on COMC and I bought this card without realizing that it had an added surprise on the reverse.

The former owner of this card obviously felt the Scott had packed on a few pounds during the off season.

The funny thing is that given a choice between this card and another copy without the writing I would still choose this one.
1967 Topps #75 George Scott
