I've posted these in the May/June pick up threads, but they are much more at home here in this thread. This is a trio of some of the most ridiculously tough 'In Action' cards to find even remotely centered properly.

Wow, those are frickin' awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
|
I never noticed the bat in the lower left corner of the Tom Haller in action.
Did the runner slide over it, and kick it up into the air? Very odd. |

For the rack pack at the bottom, is it unusual to have cards from the both the 3rd and 5th series showing on the front of a pack? From previous threads it was clear that in 1973 that Topps issued cards from multiple series together, but did Topps also do this in 1972? Back to the theme of the thread, one of my favorite sets too: http://www.psacard.com/PSASetRegistr...px?s=3092&ac=1 |

couple of Hall of Famers and 3 high number cards
|
Another odd thing about the Haller card is he's listed on the Tigers (on his 'regular' card #175)…but that's a Met sliding into home plate!!
(The shot was taken when he was on the Dodgers.) |

One of my biggest beefs with the IA card. Player selection. Haller and Billy Martin represent the Tigers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I always hated the Bob Barton "In Action" card.
Seriously? This was the best action shot you could find!? http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hd3qdc3nWU...+barton+mm.jpg |

Brand New 72s
Scan heavy, but I just got these back from PSA. These came from the nicest raw set I have ever seen for a 72, I think you might agree. There are a plethora of other 9s, many low pop, that I did not scan. Enjoy:

Here's a trivia quiz--
what player whose card is pictured in this post made his MLB debut in the 2nd game of the Father's Day double header when jim bunning pitched a perfect game? |
I know Rick Wise 'famously' got his first career win in that second game, but it wasn't his ML debut…so I'm out.

Sorry for the poor scan (I didn't want to take it out of the holder)...
The Hammer on a '72 Topps cloth sticker: |
rick wise is correct
|
Rick Wise
He is also arguably the answer to the question "what is the worst trade ever made by the St Louis Cardinals

Rick Wise did have one of the best days ever by a pitcher, pitching a no-hitter and hitting two home runs. Against a pretty darn good lineup.

Memorable Cardinals Moments
Yes, Wise, Fernando Tatis, Mark Whiten and Bud Smith all had memorable moments as Cardinals. But meanwhile Steve Carlton.... :)

Jerry Reuss for Scipio Spinks and Lance Clemons Reggie Smith for Joe Ferguson Jose Cruz Mike Torrez Jose Cardenal Bobby Tolan for Vada Pinson One of the few good ones was Cepeda for Torre. |
In Sept., 1969, carlton (then with the Cardinals) became the 1st pitcher to strike out 19 batters in a 9 inning game and couldn't seal the deal. He lost to the Mets thanks to 2 2 run homers by that very nice young man Ron Swoboda of the 1969 World Champion Mets.

Mets
Cards have a few since then...without Steve :)

Maybe they should have airbrushed the other guy out like they tried to do with the 57 Mantle :)
