Note the red Brock button has a reversed negative. I have never seen a corrected one. Great thread that I always follow.

Well... I never noticed that. Now unfortunately, I have to begin checking everyone of those buttons on Ebay..... and there are lots of them.

1977 RC "Flat" proof with no blue color. Also, a while ago on Ebay I bought a bunch of RC cans that had the ends cut off neatly, and then they were flattened to make these "Limited Edition RC metal cards".

If you were a Little Leaguer or High School player 40 years ago, there were no instructional DVD's, or webinars, or downloads, YouTube, or I Tune stores. There was the crusty coach with his chaw of tobacco, and his battery operated cassette tape player.

Here is Lou Brock on Base Stealing. I also have Maury Wills on Base Running, Brooks Robinson on Infielding, and Don Sutton on Pitching. There may be others in the series, they show up on occasion on E Bay.

Also, just thought I would add, if you are a Larry Bowa collector, you need this, as I think that is him late with the tag

1977 Hostess - I just love the way PSA put this card in at such an "attention getting angle", it really accentuates the card.
