Thanks to Kevin from Washington sending me three cards off my Needs List.
We begin with the Hall of Famer with probably the most misspelled name.
Whenever I write about him I always have to go back and double check what I've typed. It doesn't help that I'm "Matthew" either.

As if being a Hall of Fame pitcher wasn't enough, Hoyt was also decorated with the Purple Heart during the the Battle of the Bulge.

Now I've looked at this next card probably 25 times before...

I have another copy of it in my political card collection but it was only when I pulled it out of the bubble mailer that I finally saw what I had been missing all along.
George W. Bush was clearly the model for Tintin!
You be the judge!
