Heck of a find

Very nice find! So what's the story behind these? Your dad a collector way back? Grandpa get these IP?

My dad was a pretty big collector in the 70's-90's but slowed down since then but he got these from an owner of a candy store back in the 60's.My dad used to go to the store for gum and whatever other candy they had in the 60's and the guy would give my dad and his friends some cards every time they went.The guy died in the mid 70's and didnt have any family so he gave all the photos,index cards and baseball cards to my dad.The candy store owner was friends with many great ball players like Mantle and DiMaggio and had picture with them at their summer homes.Pretty interesting life.

Very cool. Looks like a nice start to a HOF index card collection to me

I have about 30 in total.
