A year of Lou Brock

I picked this up just because I though it was unusual. Why the 75 Phillies would feature a non Phillie player seems odd. They were loaded with stars, and just beginning their "almost dynasty". They had Carlton, Schmidt, Luzinski, all emerging. I suppose they, like about everybody else (except the MVP voters who gave Garvey the 74 MVP - BOOOOO) recognized the incredible stolen base accomplishment of 74.

1975 Stadium program, signed "To Bill". Picked it up on Ebay a while back.

1975 SSPC. I've had the PRO graded card for years, back when grading was a new idea, and assumed all "9's" were created equal. Not that it matters, a PSA 9 is probably worth $1.99 or something anyway.

1975 Topps mini, regular, and OPC cards.

One of the neat things I really liked about the 1975 Topps cards, and keep in mind it was the first year I ever collected, was turning the cards over and seeing the stats of the players, such as Lou, who had been in the league a while. It was even better/more for guys like Killebrew, Brooks and Frank Robinson, and Aaron.

The career stats took up so much space no little blurb/write up could be included.

And, being an 8 year old kid, I knew Lou was a superstar, a card I desired back then as everyone knew there was no one better at stealing bases.

1975 Mini, OPC and Topps Stolen Base highlight cards, plus a bonus miscut card - ah the irony......Sorry Cub fans.

Very cool program. I owned one of those Pacers back in the day. Beat the heck out of that thing and could not kill it. We called it a fish bowl on wheels.
