Card Shop Pick-Up: Vintage Rookie Card

I went to the card shop about a week ago to pick up some card for Play at the Plate (I'll get your package out to you soon) and I came accross this beat up 1970 Topps Rookie Card of Thurman Munson. It's got rough corners, isn't centered top to bottom, and has a crease accross the bottom portion of Munson's picture (you can see it on the scan, but it's hard to see in person), but I love it and for under $10 I had to add it to my collection.
