Best of 1972 Topps

[chris6net]

I was always fascinated by the IA cards and how Topps picked them. The Mets had 11 players and the Giants had 10 while the Orioles,Cardinals,Indians,Rangers,Brewers and Astros had none. The Cardinals and Orioles had some major stars but for some reason Topps disappointed a lot of kids in those markets in 1972.

Sorry about all of those other markets, but me and my Mets-loving friends were in heaven!!!!!!!!

I grew up in Suffolk County and the Mets were the team back then. Tom Seaver was like a god to all the kids in my town.

Sorry again for my delay, but I love this concept and despite time constraints, I want to contribute my favorites. It going to be heavy on In Action shots:

1) Clay Kirby - IA - I love how the ball is seen in the shot.

2) Felix Millan - Why is he wearing a helmet while fielding?????

3) World Series Game 6 - Great action shot.

4) Carlton Fisk / Cecil Cooper - I always liked Cecil as well as Fisk and always considered this a joint RC not just Fisks

5) JR Richard - Another guy I liked and I like this RC as well.
