    BYH, truer words were never spoken.

    With that in mind, I believe I got 10 of these in 1980.

    holy crap man...do you remember when Conan O'Brien and/or a guest was riffing on this card? Someone, the guest I think, said it made the player look like a child molestor.

    Or am I hallucinating?

    Claude Raymond was French Canadian, I think. In Quebec, you don't zip your fly.

    I found the quote! I wasn't losing my mind!

    For some reason, this card was shown during Conan. To which Conan responded: "Look at his face. He looks like a crazed sex offender."

    That made me laugh so hard that I was going to put the card with the quote in my sig. But that was right after we had pics taken away from out sigs. So it's never seen the light of day...til now. So Bub's brother rocks.

    They should have included his guide dog in the photo.

    These were supposed to make me rich. Ugly cards, but I always made sure they were in the cases, and checked my Beckett Baseball Card Monthly every month to find out just how my "portfolio" was doing.

    I was always the kid who screwed the other kids in trades too. I had extra Chris Bosios too, and always managed to end up with Jheri-curl Tony Gwynn cards.

    Coolest Topps cards ever: 1987, with the wooden-bat background.
