I got this card as a 10 year old collecting the Reds cards, ordered the complete Reds set in '67, not sure who I ordered them from, most likely Topps.

My first baseball game to see in person was at Crosley Field in '67and Mel Queen was the starting pitcher for the Red against Tom Seaver of the Mets in his rookie season. The Reds and Queen prevailed on that day with a 6-3 win.
