Not just a top 100 post the most important one of all.<br /><br />10. Any card featuring a yankee loss is a good card.<br /><br />9. Koufax and Drysdale on the same vintage card is serious stuff.<br /><br />8. The Piazza has to be the worst card on the countdown. Not only would I say it doesn’t deserve top 10 it doesn’t deserve top 100.<br /><br />7. There are a lot of great manes on that card. <br /><br />6. I’m okay with no 55 vs 56 debate this time.<br /><br />5. I think the card is creepy but the ghouls like where Garvey is on the countdown. <br /><br />4. That is one heck of a rotation. It worked better back then because nowadays they have to try to shove 5 guys on the card.<br /><br />3. I haven’t ever seen a 55 Koufax card. Heck I never even saw a scan of one before. Now that I see it I don’t really like it. It is a great player on one of the greatest sets ever produced but the artwork on “Sandy” sucks.<br /><br />2. Former player in a wheelchair doesn’t do it for me. To me it is like one of those “word” cards Panini put in Cooperstown, checklist filler. <br /><br />1. I find it odd that the singe card of each of these guys goes for more on eBay that this one of all four guys sells for. Shouldn’t this one that pictures all 4 players be “worth more”? <br />AdamEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12107347958456472504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-53320468170400679792012-12-31T18:47:38.085-05:002012-12-31T18:47:38.085-05:00I really enjoyed that countdown.
