OK, here's a few more for Day 4! Those IA cards are the best...loved those as a kid! I didn't start buying cards until 1974, but the older boys had these wickedly cool, colorful 72s with those awesome, horizontal action cards. How could they have such enticing cads as those, then throw in those horrible Boyhood Photos? I'm surprised any kid kept those.

Up to 38 cards, with 3 HOFers!

306 Ken Boswell IA NrMt
77 Ron Theobald NrMt
211 Gary Sutherland ExMt
239 Tom Timmerman NrMt

Here's a few more for Day 5!

42 total, 3 HOFers...and that pink hat!! How great is that? I think the Rangers should wear pink hats like that again. Who employed the Topps airbrusher? It must have been some family relative...

246 Tom Burgmeier NrMt
254 Boots Day NrMt
269 Don Hahn NrMt
317 Rich Hand NrMt

Here's a few more top add on...46 total cards now! One of my favorite things about those IA cards was using my other cards to try to figure out who the supporting actors were. One of my least favorite things was guy wearing what looked like garbage bags under their jerseys...I guess UnderArmour was years away in 1972!

349 Al Fitzmorris NrMt
356 Gerry Moses NrMt
430 Bob Robertson IA NrMt
259 Sparky Lyle NrMt

Here's four more on Day 7, making it an even 50 cards! There is no shortage of chain link fences in this set! Lefebvre had parts in Gilligan's Island and Batman back then. Dock Ellis might have seen Batman when he faced him...

287 Jim Hardin ExMt
355 Bob Watson NrMt
179 Dock Ellis NrMt
369 Jim Lefebvre NrMt

Here's a few more for today... up to 54 total. Sorry, no scans for the next few days, as I am away from my scanner.

404 Jeff Torborg NrMt
311 Clay Carroll NrMt
245 Tommie Agee NrMt
255 Jim Lonborg ExMt



That picture is not my actual card, but the hat is so bad, that I had to include it. I never knew that Lonborg became a dentist after retiring... so there you go. Also, he's the player in the picture behind the bar in Cheers that is supposed to be Sam Malone. Good stuff!!

Take Care,
Geno

Here's a few more for Thursday! With Palmer on the ERA card, that makes 58 total, with 4 HOFers...

427 Tito Fuentes ExMt
92 AL ERA Leaders ExMt
165 Chris Speier Ex
172 Darrell Evans IA NrMt

For some reason, Tito Fuentes always makes me think of Chico Escuala from Saturday Night Live. And could somebody please tell me what Darrell Evans is doing on his card?
