Hi Peter, true, but I stopped scanning my basic topps/bowman hofer collection at 1979, so since I didn't have scans of 80T and 81 Fleer handy and despite the kind words from the McCovey Padres fan in this thread ( which made me appreciate Willie's years with the Padres whereas I hadn't before) decided to end my tribute with the last topps set issued in series which coincided with the year prior to the 74 McCovey ..... not the most beauteous IMO, and the first Padres card.... which would've broken the Giants theme in my jpg

If no one else picks up my slack, Ill post the remaining base cards next week, since you accurately called me out, and in honor of Willie!

RIP Willie McCovey !
