Wednesday, 6-03-26: 1976 Topps Jim “Catfish” Hunter
The inaugural entry in Well-Loved Wednesday comes from Justin Stirewalt, who shares this incredible ‘76 Jim Hunter. Justin got the card as a kid, from a “trade” with his dad. You can follow Justin on Twitter and Bluesky.
“That card wouldn’t even get a 1, but it’ll always be a 10 to me.” - Justin Stirewalt
