Unlike football, baseball does not usually reward peak players with entry to the HoF. Kiner and Koufax are the exception, not the rule. Hence, no Murphy, Garvey, Santana, or Belle. Perhaps Richie Allen's recent enshrinement will cause some reconsideration for players whose 7-10 yr peaks put them at the very summit of the game. If Utley makes it, then others by all rights should follow - Pedroia, Wright, etc.Talk about a great HOF caliber player that is totally forgotten, it is this guy!
I wish I knew how these were distributed as I always come across complete sets. My thought is you mailed in money and box tops to get them. I don't think they came with individual popcicles or even in boxes of them.A cool little oddball item... plastic card from 1976 showing George Andrie, Lee Roy Jordan, and Bob Lilly. Description called it a "popsicle card" whatever that means... I just thought it was neat.
Here is what Beckett says about set:I wish I knew how these were distributed as I always come across complete sets. My thought is you mailed in money and box tops to get them. I don't think they came with individual popcicles or even in boxes of them.
I do agree that is a cool oddball item. All 28 teams had a card like these. And I just realized that these have the team logos unlike Topps who did not get rights to them until 1982. Amazing!
