1972 Cards That Never Were, HOF Edition...

[JollyElm]

These are the cards I should've actually done and posted first, to function as 'Killer' career cappers...

Those are AWESOME...especially the 76 Topps format, wish he had a card that year and in Royals would have been awesome. Thanks Jolly!!

I'm going to find a way to print those out...

These are outstanding. If I were Fanatics I would hire you to put out supplements and go year by year. If printed on the right stick at proper size they would be awesome! Those ‘72 IAs are just incredible. Great work.

+1 Love seeing all of these. Thanks so much for posting them. The image quality you have is amazing.

I keep staring at the 2nd 76 Killebrew card...not only is that one great piece of art but man, it just looks period and part of that set. Unreal job Darren...WOW.

Thanks for the props, guys. This stuff takes waaaaay too long to do accurately enough to come out looking legitimate to the set and era, so it's nice to be appreciated.

Now take a look at the first 1975 card and then the last 1975 card, and check out the fans in the seats (especially the guy on the left and the lady on the right who are bookending Mr. Killebrew). What in high heck is happening high up in right field, so that barely anyone is watching Killer's at bat???????? The photos were taken only a second apart (if that), so perhaps he hit a towering fly to right? The first card shows the crowd and him (in frustration) following the flight of the ball, and the fourth card shows him flipping his bat towards the ball boy after the fielder caught it and ended the inning?? Just a possible theory...but we all know the most probable explanation is something involving a UFO.

I'll voice my wish again that somehow these great images you've created can be translated to regular card stock.

I'll also repeat that I'd be a strong buyer of those.


Thanks for all we have seen thus far.
