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 type players and not just lumbering, power hitters. It was like having NBA looking players roaming the National League outfields at that time.

Greg Luzinski says thank you for the compliment!

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

One of the few 1968 Tigers still alive along with Mickey Stanley and my favorite player as a kid, Willie Horton. With McClain's lifestyle it is really surprising McClain is one of the few surviving '68 Tigers, He is said to have drank a case of Pepsi every day which is not something in the Jack LaLaine philosophy of heathy living. He must have great genetics to survive that.

Yeah and Winfield was a pitcher in college. Can you imagine facing that dude on the mound?

I can hear Kirbyfan now. "All we see on this topic is Eddie Murray! Eddie Murray this and Eddie Murray that! We need some diversity on this thread like maybe some Marvin Harrison or Michael Irvin cards!"

You just can't keep some people happy, LMAO!!

Scobes I never get tired of your posts of vintage cards in any of the four major sports!

A mainstay of my very early collecting career. Two things I can tell you about Jimmy Orr. 1) he was the wide receiver opposite of Raymond Berry for many years with the Colts and 2} his 1961 Fleer RC is one of the 4 cards I need to complete that set. I need Billy Cannon, Earl Morrall, Orr and one other common/minor star to complete it

I like the colors of the 1963 Topps.

Hope you find the 61 Fleers!
