As a kid the Ken Reitz blowing gum card was a sought after card with my friends. I also have a soft spot in my heart for Darold Knowles, who signed an autograph for me at a Cardinal game in 1978. I was at a Florida flea market over Christmas/New Years break, and saw a large pile of his cards. Apparently he works as a custodian at a school in the Clearwater area, and his cards are in demand there. Joe Torre getting brushed back is a great shot, Juan Marichal and the leg kick, and then Seaver and Ryan on the same card!! How can you not like that one. Over 600 wins and 9000 K's between them.
