This is the only card I have a vivid memory of opening a pack and finding. I'd been searching for Run Tony for so long, I just about gave up. I was piling up doubles, triples, quadruples, quintuples, etc., but couldn't complete the series.
One day I bought a couple packs, but really had no hope. And there it was! I was standing on the street corner near the store. I probably threw the wrapper in the ground, as was the custom in those days.
The pun seemed like a stretch, but a clever stretch. And my memory will always be a happy one with this title.
