The Mystery of Tom Downey

I was combing through all of my old baseball cards when I came across something I had forgotten all about. I remembered my 1955 Al Kaline, near pristine. I remembered my Brooks Robinson collection, which includes every card he was on but the elusive 1957 and 1967 cards. I remembered my 1954 Jackie Robinson. I forgot my tobacco cards.
