The Three Fernando Tatii
Just to clarify, while the Altuves don't appear closely related (maybe not at all; the "other" is 6'1"), the Fernando Tatis who went to camp with the Astros in 1974 and is in the TCMA 1975 Dubuque Packers set is the current Fernando Tatis's grandfather. I'm not sure if 1974 Astros Tatis and 1999 Two Grandslams In The Same Inning Off The Same Pitcher Tatis are estranged, but I've never seen any connection acknowledged. They are father and son and the fella we think of as Senior is actually Junior and the superstar should be III or something.
Can't help on the file code. I do know Fanatics' attitude on the negatives is utterly different from Topps. I'm supposed to go down there next week and will ask for their thoughts on posting some images (maybe guys who never appeared on cards, or in the majors) here. The vault and the remaining 10-12 filing cabinets were shut down during Covid and have been since put in storage.
