I liked this set allot more as a kid than I do now. Overall the photography is poor and the In Action cards missed the mark. Plus the photos of awards was lame, a better choice would have been a photo of the recent award winner. My biggest IA complaint are some poor choice of photos and horrible choice of players. The only Tiger IA cards are manager Billy Martin and recently acquired back up catcher Tom Haller. No Brooks or Frank Robinson, Palmer, Bob Gibson, Jenkins, Al Kaline, Brock, Steve Carlton and other superstars of the day.

The set does have an awesome card though.


The first Clemente I ever owned, the simpleness of it is great.


There are a few cards with this pose in the set, this is my favorite.


This card always seemed out of my price range when I started collecting. Bought my first one 15 years ago at the same price it was going for in 1982.


This has the 1972 tilt and it isn't often we get cards of players "playing catch".


Of all the IA cards, this is my favorite. I'm a sucker for photos of pitchers that look like they are about to fall down.

Honorable Mentions:
The WS card with Clemente
