Scobes coming through with some vintage hockey this week! I love the old hockey cards since you just don't see them anywhere near as much as the other three major sports. I was never a hockey fan in the traditional sense of the term but I still know the "hockey basics" from back in the 70s...- SymphonicMetal

Did you get this auto at the function where Eddie Vedder was signing? I think that was a Cowboy and Oiler event if my memory serves.- SymphonicMetal

LMAO! Who would think a tame guy like Billy Martin would ever do sonething like that? Billy Martin was the type of leader that would almost immediately turn teams around (Twins, Tigers, Yanlees) before wearing out his welcome and moving on. Jim Harbaugh is like that just not as volilte...- SymphonicMetal

Nice card! Unfortunately he died in a car accident about 25 minutes South of me. Not sure exactly where this occured as it appears to have happened on a side road, to a side road to another side road. It shows he died in Johnson City, NY (a suburb of Binghamton) but that is the location of...- SymphonicMetal

I'm glad you did not torment me by posting the Bo Jackson Master Blaster #692 from that 1991 Score set. I have 2 1991 Score basbell sets that have 892 of the 893 cards and the card I lack in both is the Bo Master Blaster card. I cannot get it anywhere. Sometimes I think I'll trip across a...- SymphonicMetal

Wow! That card is 10 bucks now? I need to get an updated price guide! Yeah, the last 28 cards in the 528 card 1978 Topps set were 4 picture checklists for each team. They went in alphabetical order with Atlanta being card #501 and Washington being the last card at #528. Sometimes I...- SymphonicMetal

Sudden Sam McDowell, one of the only recognizable stars of the Indians in the mid/late 60s. 5 time strikeout leader, one time ERA leader and 1970 pitcher of the Year. I always thought he looked like the actor who played Nick Barkley in the mid 60s TV Western "The Big Valley".- SymphonicMetal

He is a pretty big prospect and not just because of his shared ethnicity with me. He recently set a record for most pitches thrown in a game that were 100 MPH or over. Not sure if that is a record you want to have as the guy who held that record is a pitcher for the Reds who has been on the...- SymphonicMetal

Once again Scobes posts a card that compels me to look the player pictured up. For 60 years I've known who Pete Retzlaff was (Eagles receiver) because of his mid 60s cards but did not know much about him. Looking at his stats, I'm surprised he is not in the Pro Football HOF. 2 times first...- SymphonicMetal

I knew Kansas City was considered a Yankees Major League Farm Team but had no idea as to why. I just thought it was bad management but it obviously was more than that. I have to disagree about that not happening today. I think the Lakers have the NBA over a financial barrel or have (and...- SymphonicMetal

I did not know this factoid until just now. When I saw Marv Throneberry was with the Kansas City Athletics in the early 60s, I began to wonder if he was involved in the famous trade that bought Roget Maris from Kansas City to the Yankees. And 'lo and behold he was. Throneberry was traded...- SymphonicMetal

MARVELOUS MARV!!!! With the expansion Mets in 1962 as the starting first baseman he had 10 home runs and 17 errors! Not an easy feat in any era.- SymphonicMetal

Is that a worst coach or worst announcer card? Kliff Kingsbury had Patrick Mahomes as the starting QB at Texas Tech for 2+years and had a losing record with him. As a reward for that epic accomplishment he got the head coaching job with the Arizona Cardinals. He immediately jettisons the...- SymphonicMetal

HMMM. Bo Jackson auto in a KC uni, serial numbered and shiny. If you spray a little gold coloring on it I know of a member here who would pay a small fortune in trade for that. Who that member is, I shall not say as I refuse to divulge TC84's username no matter how much you ask for it..- SymphonicMetal

Despite our shared ethnicity there is a HUGE difference between Ted Kluszewski and me. His arms were much smaller than mine. As a matter of fact, I'd refer to him as a "weenie arm". He needed to attach those spindly wickets of his to a barbell and start throwing around some iron so he did...- SymphonicMetal

Metsman with a very strong showing today! 1966 Topps started off in a strong fashion with Mays (#1), Mantle (#50), Rose (#30) and Koufax (#100) in its' first 100 cards. Add my favorite player back then, Willie Horton to the mix and that was a really awesome start to a set for me personally.- SymphonicMetal
