Is that MC Hammer with the NNO jersey? Could be...........
2007 Topps Heritage Yellow Player Name Variation
His Wikipedia page says he was batboy from 1973-1980 so it's a pretty safe bet that's him.
While not the most valuable card in the collection, seemed like a perfect time to post it. RIP Leslie Jordan.
Didn't remember that he played with Toronto. I had thought he finished his career with the White Sox.

That is interesting! I never noticed that before. I think this was the first Fireman/saves ldr card Topps made as I cannot think of an earlier one.
Some of these obscure leaders cards (the ones without HOFers on the front) are very interesting. The 1972 Topps AL Pitching leaders card #94 which listed the top pitchers by wins is a prime example. The front has Mickey Lolich, Vida Blue and Wilbur Wood, all prominant pitchers but not in the HOF. The back is astounding as there are 10 American League pitchers with 20 wins or more in the 1971 season. Only 2 of them are Hall of Famers (Hunter and Palmer). How many years would it take the entire MLB to produce ten 20 game winners now days?
Three 20 game winners on a good year. So id say 3 or 4 years.
Curiousity got the best of me so I had to look this up. Luckily baseball almanac had the number of 20 game winners by year and by league laid out perfectly.
To equal the 10 20 game winners by AL pitchers in 1971 the NL has to go back to 2011 to reach that number. The AL has to go back to 2012 to equal that. And you have to go back to 2015 to hit 10 20 game winners for both leagues combined.
Times have certainly changed!
Had no idea this card booked for $300...........Thankfully, I picked this up over 20 years ago...........RIP Mr. Allen...........
I had to check after you said $300. It is a high number SP. It looks gradable to me.
I don't think F. Robby ever got the credit he was due. He's still the only player to win MVP in both leagues.
Frank Robinson for Milt Pappas, Jack Baldschun, and Dick Simpson? One of the most lopsided trades in history............Frank was considered "not a young 30" at the time...........
