Eddie was...Well...I'll play the advocate here. Eddie was an ugly dude, and if you're painting him the facts might need to be altered a slight bit to keep everything mellow. Phil ain't a Hall of Famer by any realistic measure beyond the fact that he is, so the rookie isn't quite that lonely.

Sure, Mathewson & Greenberg are a bit out of my price range, but Gibson & Murray sure aren't.<br /><br />But we can all agree - Topps should stop mixing them. On the bright side, at least they weren't paired on the same card. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-38122266585529784102010-06-13T00:53:07.651-04:002010-06-13T00:53:07.651-04:00I think I might wear a shirt to the National this ...I think I might wear a shirt to the National this year that says "I don't care about rookies!*". <br />The #1 most annoying thing about the hobby is that freakin' rookies HAVE to be in everything.<br />Thanks for stomping on the history of the sport, MLB & MLBPA...<br /><br /><br />*(OK except maybe Strasburg)GCAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14713246271197550543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-83893674268437795522010-06-12T23:31:56.511-04:002010-06-12T23:31:56.511-04:00I completely agree, it bothers the heck out of me,...I completely agree, it bothers the heck out of me, especially in painted sets.TheBrooklynMethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01920910516501279232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-11065933061810250332010-06-12T22:12:27.414-04:002010-06-12T22:12:27.414-04:00As a life long Mariners fan I wish I could tell yo...As a life long Mariners fan I wish I could tell you that Moore will be an eventual Mariner god but I don't see that happening. I don't see him even reaching Dan Wilson status with the club. <br /><br /> The Mariners could replace him with an old mattress and prop it up against a chair and they still would have a better catcher then Moore.Corkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02344136023470368021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-27197627255198530952010-06-12T16:47:29.885-04:002010-06-12T16:47:29.885-04:00Shhhh Don't complain...
MLB and the player...Shhhh Don't complain...<br /><br />MLB and the player's union doesn't want legends sets at all because that's money out of their pockets. be thankful we are getting any of these players in any set. I hate to say it but with greedy bastiges running the show, Topps Archives and SP Legendary cuts are never coming back.dayfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09343838411856677615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-82926560607448962072010-06-12T13:36:48.645-04:002010-06-12T13:36:48.645-04:00I def agree.
