I just wish Topps would have put as much thought into the originals as Darren has put into making these great "cards that could have been" recreations. Great job Darren! I love the Clemente cards.

Okay, I'll add this guy, because (to paraphrase 'Levon') I like the name...

Some additional eye candy...
Since reimagining all of those Roberto Clemente cards, I decided to give Hammerin' Hank the same treatment. Plus, I always hated the 'Fat Elvis' picture Topps used on his 'In Action' card in 1972... 1972hankaaron02.jpg1972hankaaron01.jpg1972hankaaron03.jpg 1972hankaaron04.jpg1972hankaaron05.jpg1972hankaaron06.jpg And here are two more versions of what coulda/woulda/shoulda been the greatest card of all time for us Mets/Mays fans... 1972williemaystraded04.jpg1972williemaystraded05.jpg

Meant to do this 'Tom Terrific' work-up a while back, because I don't know what Topps was thinking when they put together their 'knee slapper' Tom Seaver 'In Action' card (although, oddly enough, because it's so different, I find it mesmerizing), but better late than never to celebrate one of my childhood heroes.
A celebration of the 'Seaver Snarl'... 1972tomseaver06.jpg1972tomseaver10.jpg 1972tomseaver07.jpg1972tomseaver05.jpg 1972tomseaver11.jpg1972tomseaver02.jpg1972tomseaver08.jpg Rest in peace, sweet #41... 1972tomseaver03.jpg
