Picked up a couple of really cool lineup cards in the last week.

This one is from the clinching game of the 1976 World Series which the Reds would sweep the Yanks.

Thanks! I collect lineup cards and have a couple of thousand of them, but it's rate to be able to find a World Series lineup card, so pretty excited to find this one.

FYI

...Driessen was the first designated hitter in the history of the National League when he starred for the Reds in the 1976 World Series against the New York Yankees.

Same here. That was back in the day when you knew the starting lineup by heart.
