A year of Lou Brock

[David W]

Heading into 1972 is this Expos baseball magazine featuring Brock on the cover. I am not sure why they did not feature an Expos player. I picked it up due to this oddity.

1972 Milton Bradley game card. It's probably not a proof card, probably got scammed there by a 12 year old kid and a $10 stamp from an office supply store

There is not much for 1972, so if anyone cares, here are the 3 years of Milton Bradley cards, and the differences between them.

1972 Kelloggs - 1 still in the wrapper. There are more of these still in the wrapper than you would think. I know when I was a kid, I couldn't wait to rip them open.

I see that your PSA 9 1972 Kellogg's Lou Brock cracked while it was in the case. I dread looking at my Kellogg's Cubs cards in their binder because every time I do I see a new one that cracked. It took me forever to find nice copies of 1974 Kellogg's Ron Santo with the Cubs emblem on the back version and 1979 Kellogg's Rick Reuschel with the copyright in Tony the Tigers collar on the back version, of course both of them eventually cracked spectacularly. I pretty much gave up replacing them.

I worry a lot about my 68 3D set doing the same at some point

Yes..... but it's still a "9" for the registry.....

I don't chase graded cards, I think I probably paid no more than a regular card price for it. I'm sure lost of high graded 3D's crack in the case. I wonder if the TPG's have an official statement on that?

1972 Topps and OPC - I'm still bummed that there is no "In Action" card.

I learned a valuable lesson on TPG's 10 years ago with the borderline scamming BCCG grading. All 8's are not created equal as has been discussed numerous times on net54 about BCCG.
