1972 Cards That Never Were, Cardinals Version...

[GasHouseGang]

[QUOTE=JollyElm;1999618]Okay, this is a weird bump, but what the heck.

(I'm not sure, but I think perhaps this old thread might have gotten abridged during the recent site problems, but I digress.)

I think you may be right. It seems like some of the original examples disappeared. I saved some other Cardinal IA examples and I don't see them here. Here are the others I saved.

Thanks for the assist, GHG!! I think with the two cards still showing in the OP, that covers all of the Cards cards I created.

Bravo, again

1972 Topps my favorite set. I still don’t know how no Cardinals or Orioles we’re included on the In Action cards. Maybe they didn’t like birds!

Wow, didn't know they left off players from the AL Champions and Cardinals (90 wins in 1971). At least my Tigers got their manager and a back up catcher they acquired in Dec 1971.

They did a horrible job overall with the In Action cards.

Some big names of HoF locks / superstars were left out.

My other thread, which I can't seem to find at the moment, added 1972 in action cards of all the omitted HOF'ers (except a couple of managers) over time, plus traded versions of Willie Mays and Nolan Ryan. It was a cool undertaking.
