But with the presence of time, Barry Larkin went on to have his own fine career and beat Mattingly to the gates of Cooperstown.

Man, I never got to the packs in time to ever see a Mattingly on the front in my neck of the woods. Hell, the 1984 Topps racks were so notorious for being easily searchable, it was nearly impossible to find a pack with a Mattingly in it, even if he was in the middle of a pack, forget the front.
