With the arrival of #6, AL HR Leaders, 1968 is complete. Bob Gibson gets the binder spine slot. 10 favorite cards in the set: Ryan / Koos rookie an obvious choice despite it being a duel player rookie card, which I hate. Seaver and Carew rookie cups are classic. Love that Yaz pose. Gibson looking Gibson-esque. McCarver looking like the epitome of the wholesome 60s ballplayer. Ricketts looking like the epitome of the 60s in those glasses. Etch looking like I don’t know what - maybe someone grandfather playing catcher? Love the blacked out hats on the A’s to block out KC. And B Rob and F Rob on the same card is classic - these duel player cards I do like.
Now to focus on 67 - which I’ve been making great progress on in no small part to many people on Net54.
