If you want to nominate cards that you don't see on any of the posts, feel free to include them here. Up to five cards (there has to be a limit) will be added to the existing five cards when it comes time to vote.
By then, the comments will be closed for nominations, and it will be time to put everything to a vote.
What about the Tony Perez RC (#581)? These are better than the floating heads like Pete Rose's.
ReplyDeleteOops - posted to wrong year - these look good to me!
ReplyDeleteWas just checking out your old feature and was wondering what was significant with the Ted Abernathy card. It is one of the few I own from this set.
ReplyDeleteI'm puzzled by Abernathy as well.
ReplyDeleteThe first pack I ever bought was in 1964. First card...Jack Fisher. Last card in the pack...Casey Stengel. For a young Mets fan, there couldn't have been a better pack.
Obviously, I'm biased, but I've always been drawn to that Stengel card. I found it one of Topps' more unique manager cards (even if they sort of repeated it in '65).
The '64 set also had the Tony Oliva Rookie Card. Oliva doesn't get the love Pete Rose does, but he was one of the best pure hitters in the game.
