    LMAO If I didn't know any better I'd say you were taking a swipe at Luzinski and my shared ethnicity.

    WOW! Nice Parker rookies! The centering is awesome which is a problem for 70s Topps cards as you know. I remember very well that in that mid 1970s era the National League produced a bunch of tall, athletic outfielders in Parker, Winfield, Dawson and Ellis Valentine. THey were all around...

    Tell me what is better on the 1967 Topps set the fronts or the backs? Both are unimprovable which is why I consider this set the GOAT! All today's hi tech, refraxctors, Xfractors, mirror, Kaboom, orange, pink, purple.................they still cannot touch the 1967 in terms of looks. In...

    Do I detect a hint of ageism in your post, you young whippersnapper? I was born in 1959 as well. I take offense to your post and I'm not the only one. Cue up Greta in 3---2----1..

    A .351 batting average and only 23 home runs? If he played today he'd be considered a common with collectors. I love the old Post Cereal cards except for the trimming issues. But they sure fit a ton of stuff on the fronts of their cards!!

    OOPS! Accidentally hit reply when I was meaning to hit the like button. But if I were to make a comment on this card I can say that Hayden is not related to Otis. And if you understand that reference, you are old! LMAO!!

    BFD. .283 batting average 8 homers, 34 RBI. So that justifies a $250 autograph?

    You'll appreciate this comparison. As you know the Ripken Traded card is hard to come by unless you are willing to pay big. For some reason when my buddy owned our LCS here he must have picked up 10 of those from the same source in the course of a year. He already had a buyer for any he...

    I think the PSA 8 Ripken Traded is about right from looking at EBAY. I had to look up who Kevin McGonigle was. He appears to be a nice prospect but I don't see anything that wows me with his stats. He is young (about to turn 22) but is pretty small so being a big time power hitter is iffy...

    Good question. I looked it up and the game on 5/1 was the last game of a homestand against St.L. The Giants then hosted a 3 game series against the Dodgers before traveling to St. Louis where the gsme on 5/6 was the first game of that series. So both Perry and Gibson were taking their...

    Wow! Great research Scobes! Lack of run support is bad enough but even worse when facing the likes of Koufax, Drysdale, Perry and Osteen. Guess he had to be happy he missed Juan Marichal when playing SF! The Dodgers were the NL Champs that year and San Fran was 2nd only 1.5 games behind...

    I'm going to say the #1 player is Marvin Harrison and #2 is Michael Irvin. Thankfully there are two real Americans who post a lot of football here in Hodee and the guy from "The mean streets of McGehee,". Scobes posts a lot of football as well so there are at least three non commies here...

    HA! Some Ner'do'well named Kirbyfan34 proved you wrong on your claim of being the first to post a card of Eddie Murray the other day. He must really have it out for you to show you up that way!!!!!

    How about Bob Gibson with 13 losses and an ERA of only 2.44? Looks like LA and SF had his (or at least the Cardinals) number that year, Not as bad as in 1968 when he had 12 losses and an astounding 1.12 ERA, He only had 20 complete games in 1966 though compared to 28 in both 1968 and 1969...

    I accept the challenge and I don't care if it takes Kirbyfan34 ten years to find out if you did or not.

    I don't recall him being pictured on this topic. But why would he be? He was only the third player in MLB history (now there are 7) to have 500 home runs and 3,000 hits after Mays and Aaron. Off to the commons box with Eddie!

    Since this is the most wanted card in the 1987 Topps set, I wish somebody would want some of mine. I have an astounding FORTY SEVEN duplicates of this card. How I got so many of this card i have no idea since I never purposely bought or traded for one of them. It is not like I bought a ton...

    Ouch! Funny how we remember that very last, elusive card for a set decades later.

    Great set! I usually don't like sets with artificial backgrounds but 1969 Topps football is an exception. Interesting how series 1 cards had no borders and series 2s had white borders, While series 2s are not as hard to find as high numbers in that era's baseball sets, I've always had more...

    41 wins?? That is a career total for many of today's superstar "workhorses".
