1972 Cards That Never Were, HOF Edition...
Here are my latest workings of 1972 'In Action' cards. I'll end up putting together as many of the 'ignored' HOF'ers as I can. First off, I'm going with these three guys, with an additional Nolan Ryan thrown in, because let's face it, most people love him…

1972 in action
The 1972 Topps In Action cards remains my favorite sub set of all time. Great work on these cards that never were, is there any way of getting copies?
Thanks...

To make this thread whole, I'll bring in some cards I created in previous posts. First off, the Cardinals…

Three versions of a card that would've been a beautiful (and expensive) high number. He was basically traded for Jim Fregosi, and Fregosi ended up on a 'TRADED' card, but the Ryan Express did not?? Huh?? (It's 44 years too late, but still) Come on, Topps!!

Darren,
Nice cards Darren. I think you should do a special green tint variation on at least 1 of the cards. Also I have a request for a Mantle card. Every set should have a Mantle, in my opinion. Z

Attention: Weaver
You got my attention "again" when you broke out the Weaver...
Of course the Brooksie one's are my favorite. Did you try the picture I sent of Brooks in the other thread to incorporate in the '72 IA?

Ironically, I was going through my 1972 Topps set the other day, and being a Cardinals team set collector I noticed for the first time that the In Action cards did not feature a Cardinals player. I had never noticed that before. The Brock, Gibson, Torre, and Carlton are very nicely done. Very impressive.
Are those hard copies or virtual copies? Last edited by frankhardy; 03-24-2016 at 07:49 AM.

These are all just virtual creations and they only include the fronts. Wish I had a time machine to go back to Brooklyn or Duryea, PA in late 1971 and knock some sense into the Topps folks!!
I didn't for a moment put any effort into doing the backs, though. These take a long enough time to create as it is.

Awesome cards, let's put you in the 'Way-Back Machine' and send you to the Topps factory (with your computer of course).
Very nice.

And sadly, I believe, this will be my final offering in this thread, because the only guys left are a couple of other managers and Tony La Russa as a Braves infielder.
But this guy was tremendous, so I had to give it up for ole Sparky… 1972sparkyanderson.jpg

The 1972 set is my favorite.
I was always puzzled why the Mets had 11 IA cards and the Giants had 10 and many teams had 5 (no other team had more than 5) while the Orioles,Cardinals,Rangers,Indians, Brewers and Astros had none. The Orioles and Cardinals had many stars that year. My only guess is that the photographer for Topps was not available when they came to NY Bob Barton or George Mitterwald vs Lou Brock and Brooks Robinson just doesn't do it for me.
