Seeing Clemente take a 3rd strike, isn't what I would call the best card.



The Munson and Seaver in action cards are similar to the Aaron.

I'm not sure that's what's happening in Roberto's Action card. I remember him doing neck stretches as he stepped into the batters box. I wonder if the photog snapped him in the middle of his routine.

... but does anyone want to explain to me what Seaver is doing in his "action" shot? Looks like he's trying to force out a doody.

The candid moment that was captured in that card is priceless to me. Could be any moment in the count, I just love what I assume to be the "you gotta be kidding" me expression & body language. I think many of these "action" cards leave a lot to be desired but I still bought each and every one of 'em for my set.

I love the IA cards. I just wonder how they picked the players. It seems like half of the players were Superstars and the other half total stiffs. A lot of lousy catchers,Bob Barton,Pat Corrales,Curt Blefary,George Mitterwald,Tom Haller and we can,t forget Ed Kirkpatrick. Out of 72 IA cards the Mets had 11 and the Giants 10 while Baltimore,Cleveland,Texas,St.Louis,Milwaukee and Houston got shut out.
