I'm with you on your top 2 picks. I also really like the 1975 Bench and Rose, the 1976 Rose and Concepcion, and of course the 1981 Topps Mike Schmidt.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-23423047689420875722013-03-15T19:02:25.972-04:002013-03-15T19:02:25.972-04:00I've never seen the 1976 Brock!

The Roberto Clemente #21 memorial patch on his left arm dates the photo from 1973... and if memory serves me right, the only Pirates who wore a number ending in "2" was Hernandez and #22 Richie Zisk. And that is NOT Richie Zisk covering second. Funny, Topps recycled another 1973 photo on Richie Hebner's 1976 card too.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13150792970138123909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-30405015979323822562013-03-15T16:54:39.678-04:002013-03-15T16:54:39.678-04:00The 76 Brock card is my favorite card of all time!...The 76 Brock card is my favorite card of all time!!! I remember as a kid seeing it in a hobby shop in the Exton Mall and saying " I must have", but I didn't have the dough. (I think it was two bucks!) Went back the next week and there it was. Mine for the taking. I thought that was Frank Taveras behind Brock.majpasquahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16737153191642966274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-11898657406356293862013-03-15T11:29:52.728-04:002013-03-15T11:29:52.728-04:00Mystery solved.

It looks like a uniform number that ends in '2' and he's an infielder that appears to be Hispanic. I can't find anyone that fits the bill from '75 or '76!MJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01621278770959088614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-34539646860949217022013-03-15T01:01:16.238-04:002013-03-15T01:01:16.238-04:00Your top two are probably the same as mine, althou...Your top two are probably the same as mine, although I probably would've put "The Bird" at #1. <br /><br />Terrific countdown!Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508921644099472101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-3514581748015128022013-03-14T22:03:46.606-04:002013-03-14T22:03:46.606-04:00Great choices to complete the list.
