 I love this card (1971 Topps). First, it's weird seeing Williams in a uni other than the Red Sox. But also he looks like he's having a great time. Great card. The best thing is if you look at the 1972 Topps Williams the next year, he has the "WTF did I get myself into?" look

It was when he was a manager, genius.

my uncle and dad got me into cards. for some reason - think it was passed down - always loved this sweet ass Kent Tekulve Fleer Card. I loved the Pirates hats - and used to try to pitch like Kent Tekulve - sidearmed

It's amazing how legends like him - and Sandberg, Hextall, Clarke, McNabb - they're really not even well liked 'here' anymore.... Personality goes a long way Bowa is terrific in a 3rd Base Coach type of roll I guess - but that's the extent of his leadership.

A few  even though I don't like the '72 Topps  Even though I don't like Thurman Munson  Just threw it out because I love the Topps Heritage sets. Got me back into collecting (much to my wife's consternation) |

I guess I'll say this one...  a. It has to be a 1987 Topps card for me, my first deep dive into the realm. b. McGriff was my fav childhood player. c. This one has the glory of Exhibition Stadium's outfield grandstand (full no less!) in the background. d. Always found it fresh having prolific hitters' baseball cards playing defense/wearing their glove in their photo. He was still platooning with Cecil Fielder in '87 I think. |

question
were you careful not to put cards on the backside so they wouldn't 'stick' in the future and lose their value

Those are sealed, airtight capsules for professionally graded cards. Cards are exponentially more valuable if they are graded by a universally recognized grading company. In this case they're graded by PSA, probably the most respected grading company. The downside of having your cards graded and encapsulated is that you can never hold your card in your hand again....something I'm a huge proponent of.

Plus, he appears to be wearing a diaper. So there's that. |
