I've always disliked this card - it looks like he just struck out - and he's one of the greatest hitters of his generation.

Looks like he didn't swing and is upset at himself for not taking it yard imo

Just curious, is that the Irvin I traded you a month or so ago?

Indeed it is. Found someone who had Aikman and Emmitt and the Promo set is back together. I had the 3 a while ago and traded them for some reason. Look pretty cool together, huh?

They do. When I found that Irvin promo I had no idea it was part of a tri card. Even if I had the Aikman and Emmitt(and I didn't) I doubt I would have figured out they were part of a set of three.

Ya since they were Promo cards all 3 came together in a clear cellophane pack. Not sure if they were giveaways or if they were in Pinnacle boxes... just know they look great together.

Wow! That is super cool! I love those team issues as you don't see them that often and I certainly have never seen one of those!

The Stick! I think of him as a Yankee.

Same here. Between his playing days, mangerial stint and later on as GM for the Yanks. I knew about his 1967 Topps Dodger RC but did not realize he started with the Pirates for 1 year and was really shocked to see he played with the Tigers in his last year of 1975. I was a big Tigers fan back then and do not remember that. He actually tied his career high for homers with Detroit that year with three!!

I have his rc somewhere. Guy couldn't hit a lick. But he was a great GM.

Got this nice 15 card lot of 59 Topps at my LCS today, including 2 HoF, 2 HoVG, 5 Rookies, and 6 other commons, in solid mid-grade condition - all for $35.
Now I'm down to 30 cards to complete the set.

A sad sad day... Larry Allen passed away at only 52. One of the ALL-TIME GREATS and a personality to match. He will be missed...

Good old Zack, looking like he was about 12 years old here. Now he looks about 25. Great pitcher, kind of a weird dude though. Remember going to a game when he was with the Brewers and they were playing Pittsburgh and Grienke threw the slowest pitch I've ever seen. I was with my nephew and we looked at each other and were like "69 miles an hour?!?" Wth?

I watched a video of a guy handing him a ball to sign. Zack grabbed the ball and threw it as far away as he could. Dude asked what the heck? And Zack said something to the effect that it was amusing to him. I think I saw it posted on youtube or somewhere a couple of years ago.
