I agree that the Darren O'Day card (and really the Sherzer and Boxberger, too, are ridiculous.<br /><br />As for the hats, the kind of hats they actually wore in the 70s with the pillbox shape would still look fairly cool. But just putting some lines on a regular cap doesn't work, and the white panels make it worse. Yuck,.<br /><br />So, look, here I am, confirming your theory by writing a long comment here when I haven't commented on a post about old cards in a while. But I assure you I'm reading them all, and even though for whatever reason I'm not moved to comment on the old stuff as often (or maybe this is just coincidence, I don't know), I'm enjoying those posts, probably more so.Brett Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15909286892005353279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-36071283025906650712015-10-23T14:39:04.848-04:002015-10-23T14:39:04.848-04:00No "Pride and Perseverance" inserts?

How can you argue with an insert set that offers you cards of "Dummy" Hoy, Curtis Pride, Jim Abbott, and Pete Gray? And also Buddy Carlyle as a Met--the kind of relief pitcher who never gets a card. Again, no stats on the back (not even much of a write-up), but at least Topps thought of something new and kind of cool.<br /><br />Stack22, I am fully in favor of "obnoxiously large". This is the first year in forever that Update actually feels like an update. Want it smaller? Convince Topps that everybody hates their All Star and Home Run Derby cards. The only thing they're missing, now, is manager cards.Stubbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07010142558613227433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-17044352642444204982015-10-23T14:26:14.096-04:002015-10-23T14:26:14.096-04:00Nice catch.

They also have a double-player card of two guys (Campos and Mazzoni) who combined to give up 23 runs on 24 hits in 9 innings.
