    Indeed, we did forget Culp. Holy mackerel.

    You're right, Budde should be in. And maybe EJ Holub, one of the last two-way players - Center and Linebacker - 5x all-AFL. It's no wonder they won a Super Bowl in 1970 against the mighty NFL.

    How many HoF did they have? Dawson, Bell, Buchanan, Robinson, Stenerud, plus Otis Taylor and Jim Tyrer who are perennially on the Senior Committee ballot. (Tyrer would have gotten in years ago if not for the murder-suicide, which we now understand was likely due to severe CTE). And Coach Stram...

    Unbelievably, Wilhelm didn't make it to the bigs until he was 29. Pitched until he was 49. Saves weren't a thing back then, but finishing was. He finished something like 650 games.

    Look at his line in 1963 at the age of 42. 260 IP! 23-7 record. 2.60 ERA. Probably would have taken home the CYA, if not for a fellow named Koufax.

    Nabbed this at auction for $6. The listing said it had a crease, but I scoured the pic closely and couldn't see one. Even though I don't acquire cards with creases, I figured I would take a chance, cuz really, for six bucks why not. I scoured it again when it arrived, still could not find a...

    why is that a 2? Does it have a crease or pencil? It looks more like a 4 or 5 at first glance.

    I've always loved this set. I don't have any of them but a friend of mine when I was a kid had a bunch. I always thought I might try to pick up some once i complete a few other sets I am working on.

    One and Done set needs thread for everyone

    Hi Ed - do you have vintage football? I'm working on completing a few sets from the 50s and 60s. Richard

    All those guys strung out on coke, Straw, Doc, Keith, HoJo - they ruined their careers and they could have been a 10-year dynasty. Sad.

    I don't remember Mike Scott on the Mets. He was a real Mets killer on the Astros. Almost single-handedly kept the Mets from winning the 1986 pennant.

    But he was so terrible on the Mets. A strikeout machine, especially with men on base. God those early 80s Mets teams were bad. Remember Neil Allen?

    Ray was a friend of mine. I used to play poker with him before he was a star.

    Could you even imagine a pitcher like Robin Roberts in today's game? Think about this - six years in a row in the 1950s he pitched over 300 innings. It would take 12 years for the best starting pitchers today to equal that, and 90% of them have burned out before they even get to 12 years. And...
