"Peter Vogel" trading card

An interesting piece of memorabilia in my collection is the trading card of Peter Vogel which was the alias of FBI special agent Dietrich Volk during the undercover sting in the pits during the late 1980s.  When news of the sting was announced, a fellow trader in the same pit grabbed some of his cards as a memento and that's how I ended up with this one.   A few years ago I posted a bit more detail on the sting and the link to it is here:    FBI Operation Sourmash and Operation Hedge Clipper

I'll go ahead and repost the photo though which shows VOGL in the lower left corner standing in the pit
