Unique Steve Garvey items to share?

[mrmopar]

Now that I look at them again, I guess the Dodger variant is simply a difference in the coloring. Both were printed in Taiwan. One is darker in both the picture and in the border colors.



For the Padre card, there is a cropping variation, but it relates to the location of production as well. There is also some color variations as well.

The Philippines card is more yellow and the signature is all within the yellow part of the background and no belt is seen. The Taiwan version has the bottom loop of the "S" in the signature into the green part of the background and you can see his belt.

Just average items

Even the common stuff is fun to look at now days. Garvey has fallen far from the limelight for the most part, having once been considered a lock for the HOF and was named with the biggest players of him time. I guess he fell a bit short...

I don't have a picture, but my family just put together a puzzle showing lots of packages of snack cakes. One of the boxes was a Hostess box from the 1970s with a picture of a Steve Garvey baseball card on the front.

His 1974 card is one of my favorites. Just a great composition. Excuse the crappy scan:

Don't know if this would be considered a "unique" Garvey item or not?

Is that a display rack? i know there was a video produced with his hitting tips. Looks like maybe this was an in store display?

I agree, by far my favorite Topps Garvey card. And from his MVP year if I'm not mistaken?
