That Billy "****face" Ripken isn't automatic No. 1 makes this entire thing moot.

Also, bucky's choice:

That Billy "****face" Ripken isn't automatic No. 1 makes this entire thing moot.

My thought exactly.

 

[Hank_Scorpio]

Wouldn't this be IJAG's favorite?

 

[Batman]

These two are good. Rookie cards for Ron Cey and Jerry Koosman.

John Hilton carries that card around and shoves it in people's faces screaming, "No, really!!!"

 

[cyclingwriter]

Jerry Hilton was a stud

 

[JackReacher]

TSP is a smart fella.

 

[Kato]

That Billy "****face" Ripken isn't automatic No. 1 makes this entire thing moot.

That's not even Topps!

Wrong NY team, TSP. I was a Brooklyn Dodgers fan.

The classic 1970s rookie card: Hall-of-Famer, pretty good Major Leaguer and "Who the **** is that?"

 

[Smasher_Sloan]

If the Billy Ripken **** face is too blatant, there's always the subtle middle finger of Billy Martin.

What about Gary Pettis' younger brother pretending to be Gary Pettis, and then doing the throat slash and STILL making it into the 1985 Topps set?

He's not doing the throat slash. He's telling the hot female photographer that she's lookin' FINE!

And, because it's not a baseball card thread without a link to Joe Sports Fan's worthless card collection, here it is...

Several hours into the thread and nobody posts a Don Mossi card?

The 1977 Topps Mark Fidrych, but I'm being biased toward the Tigers. He's got a big, goofy grin, the word "Detroit" across the front of his road uniform, the "A.L. All-Star" bar across the bottom of the photo and the Topps "rookie team cup."

It captured the magic of the Bird from summer 1976.
