OK, I broke the rules, but I just love this set so frickin' much!!!

1972.jpg

The 'In Action' shots are the coolest things on the planet and these are 4 of my favorites:
Johnny Bench chasing a pop up. Great shot!
I had no idea what a Tito Fuentes was, but I sure remember seeing him on top of a rack pack and I just had to have it! I have loved this card for 40+ years!!
Bobby Bonds is just grinning goofily. Clearly he can't believe he just missed that pitch.
And Tom Terrific? What in high heck is he doing exactly??? Giggling??

Willie McCovey's shot is pure artistry by the Topps photog. Look at that blurry paw of his. Excellent!!

Roberto Clemente's card is just plain cool. Flipping a ball into his hand like every kid in America does during summer. Perfect!!

And the high number 'Traded' subset. Just tremendously great all around!!

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
