I've never understood why there wasn't a '72 Ryan card with the Mets, and then a Traded card. Jim Fregosi (the player he was traded for...) got both.

He came out in a later series, the 5th, that wasn't printed until after the trade. So, Topps put him with his current team at the time of printing. The traded cards were players who were traded after their cards were printed.

True, the Fregosi non-traded was in an earlier series.

Some highlights from my flurry of activity over the last few weeks.

Wow, nice batch of cards, ASF!

This one will look good in my raw '73 set.

Thanks Noy! Beautiful Schmidt - I’ve been looking for one of those as well, but it’s hard to find a nice one at a reasonable price.

I assume you’re not my friend Noy from Chicago, right? As far as I know he doesn’t collect cards.

Nice Andrew! Fantastic gathering there.

Good looking Schmidt rookie Noy.

I picked up a 73 and 74 set this month.
