Please proof my '60 Colavito & Killebrew

Over the weekend I finished the beta version of my 1960 Topps-style multi-player feature card of Rocky Colavito and Harmon Killebrew.

While I appreciate all the title suggestions, most seemed too "modern" for a 1960 Topps card. I decided to run with a take-off on the Ashburn-Mays card from 1959.

If you spot anything I should rethink, or that needs correction, please point it out.

    Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

    After those four National League games, Gorman Thomas was never the same, and neither were the Brewers, and come to think of it neither was I.

    Lookin good lookin good! I think you made the right call by going with a title that reflects the time period as opposed to a more modern sounding phrase. Great job. Looks like a PSA 10!!

    Looks solid!

    At first I thought it was a real card. I think I got it confused with the Colavito - Francona Power Plus card from the same set.

    Nice card!

    As for proofing, I think the sentence where Rocky appears in 2nd AS game and homers in the game is redundant (using "game" twice so close). Maybe fit into a single thought:

    Rocky also appeared in 1959's second AS game, homering for the AL squad.
