How about this Garvey Gafline? It should look familiar as well. I believe it was you who sold it to me a couple years back. If I am mistaken and it wasn't you, the seller had shared a pic of theirs on their blog and I took a shot in the dark and contacted the blogger to see if they'd sell and they just happened to have two! They were kind enough to sell me their duplicate. To this day I have yet to see another.

a couple more...

I am the culprit.

Someone told me they had similar cards of Aaron and Hunter, but never provided scans and I could never get them to agree to a trade or sale, but would still love to even see them.

I have not see a Gafline Garvey offered for sale in a long time, but I would guess they are still out there somewhere...

I do not own this item!

The 1980 issue was not cataloged like the 81 issue. I still seek this and even missed one on ebay to another Garvey collector not too long ago. He sold me the rest of the set for what he spent, minus the Garvey, but my heart aches for the Garvey/Carew!! That is probably my top want, aside from those ultra rare and one off goodies like the puffy sticker prototype, test coin and such.

I do have the 81 issue though and have never seen another offered.

Have always enjoyed proof items, since they are fairly unique by nature. Picked this set up at least 20 years ago from 707 Sports Cards at a show. The 1975 Hostess cards were just a simple, nice looking set!

Marty,

I love the proof stuff and these are way cool. Thanks so much for posting!

Love the proof set. I have some proof panels from the same issue, at least I believe it is the same year. I'd have to look at them again to be sure.

Here's a program from 1985 Padres Spring Training that has that typical Garvey scribble signature above the team photo. It also has a nice flowing Tony Gwynn signature below the photo.

The second scan is of the last page in the program that has an ad with Garvey in it.
