C.A., the review 5 (the final)

I've been out of town, so I gave you an extra day to vote in the second semifinal for the Cardboard Appreciation Hall of Fame vote (not that anyone took advantage of it).

The winner of the second semifinal began to take shape a couple of days after the poll went up. Again, I would never have expected the Pilots team card to do so well, but then I didn't think the Rusty Staub Hostess card would do so poorly.

Here are the vote totals for the second semifinal after 43 votes:

1. 1970 Topps Seattle Pilots team card - 18 votes

2. 1976 Topps J.R. Richard - 11 votes

3. 1989 Bill Pucko Cards U.L. Washington - 9 votes

4. 1975 Hostess Rusty Staub - 5 votes

 

So the lone team card of the Seattle Pilots has advanced all the way to the final.

 

 

It will take on the power trio of Jackie Gleason and David Cone for entrance into the Cardboard Appreciation Hall of Fame.

 

Two guys against an entire team, plus a trainer and a guy in a suit? Is that a fair fight?

 

I don't know, something tells me the Pinnacle card will hold its own.
