Fred, John, Steve, Leon, Chris....great cards all! I love the N172s for the same reasons everyone else here does. Real photographs, all kinds of interesting poses, can be collected many different ways, the friendships and help that comes with meeting others that share the same love, the ability to peer back into baseball history whenever the need arises just by holding one. I'm sure I'll be boring some that have seen these more than once, but I never tire.
