4) Len Randle. He looks so happy sliding into base. I was always amused by that.

First year I bought cards as well. Discovered them from friends at school. Memories from this..
The above Len Randle card. We would pass it around and stare at his hand...none of us had ever heard of a modern ballplayer missing his hand? Is it an illusion?
Mike Paxton-"aw man, you got another Mike Paxton painted face!"
Rod Carew-if it had a shield they were extra good!
Brooks Robinson-the player I first recognized. I remember getting him in the lone pack I bought a few years earlier with a Hank Aaron. It started my quest in assembling an amazing Brooksie collection that I unfortunately sold.
Alan Trammel-couldn't figure out why I never got that last couple cards for my Tigers team. A friend at school brought me the ones I was missing from the checklist...all the rookie cards. I thanked him but said I had them, just didn't know that's what they were!
