It also seemed to me that Seaver struck people out by simply staring them down into submission. <br /><br />One of my favorite pulls from the Topps re-insertion program of a few years ago now was a stamped copy of the Lopes card. Was so nice to see it appear in a pack of baseball cards again. <br /><br />Some new card backs are better than others. I quite look forward to reading all of the backs in 2019 Archives, for example.

I remember it getting broken by Vince Coleman at some point in the late 1980s, which was controversial because his streak was over two seasons. I agree these cards have great backs.

While the back did its best to emulate a newspaper report of breaking baseball news, it certainly pales in comparison to what was offered on Bonds' card.<br /><br />https://www.comc.com/Cards/Baseball/1990/Topps_-_Base/7/Rickey_Henderson/1962987Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14229291739813356346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-256697843788448862019-10-08T22:44:54.511-04:002019-10-08T22:44:54.511-04:00I check out every centimeter of a baseball card.
