He is the pitching coach for the Long Island Ducks now, a team I expect to see in a couple of weeks. I plan on seeking him out, getting him to sign a couple of those old cards and shaking his hand. My 10-year old self is giddy with anticipation.Jamie Meyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15184760000629386642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-12927739265012629592013-05-22T03:09:21.459-04:002013-05-22T03:09:21.459-04:00Two cards that I really remember were from the 197...Two cards that I really remember were from the 1971 set. Dave La roche, and the game 5 world series card with Brooks Robinson. I liked the La roche card because I thought the Angels symbol on the cap was really cool, and the Brooks Robinson card looked like he was in the middle of the desert. I also really liked the Roberto Clemente in action card from 1972. He just seemed so awsome with the look he had on the card, his utter disgust that he did not swing at the last pitch.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17092022501597760245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-73708915253960085242013-05-21T18:36:51.704-04:002013-05-21T18:36:51.704-04:00This weekend I listened to XM 70s on 7 replay of A...This weekend I listened to XM 70s on 7 replay of American Top 40 of May 17, 1975, in fact I listened to it twice. <br />Good memories of 1975 pack buying...was heavy on spending 25 cents for the cello packs!GOGOSOX60https://www.blogger.com/profile/04536101210272537783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-13691240073182099552013-05-21T18:10:15.144-04:002013-05-21T18:10:15.144-04:00I think it's interesting that the people who c...I think it's interesting that the people who commented all grew up in a period when set collecting was the dominant means of collecting.<br /><br />I wonder if this is only a phenomenon of set collectors?night owlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11673973790245316059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-2723064591917157682013-05-21T14:56:17.276-04:002013-05-21T14:56:17.276-04:00As I was recently reminded by Nick at Dime Boxes, ...As I was recently reminded by Nick at Dime Boxes, Manny Sanguillen was one of my random favorites, probably because of his big gap-toothed smile. I also developed a fascination for Larry Hisle because of his 1972 Topps card with the Dodgers (for whom he never played at the big-league level). Oh, and Rico Petrocelli, just because it was so fun to say his name. Probably a hundred others, too.petethanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02222725895895580850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-84292416273957971002013-05-21T13:29:11.980-04:002013-05-21T13:29:11.980-04:00I always looked forward to the first few years of ...I always looked forward to the first few years of San Diego Padres. It always seemed their uniforms changed each year or within a year. I liked their in action card from 72 and the in action regulars cards of 1973.<br />Each one different. Kirby appears to be pitching at Candlestick, Fred Norman is pitching to an ocean of empty seats, Dave Robert is at Wrigley, and Pat Correles is in the most violent depiction of a play at the plate on a card ever made.Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01050857323785108411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-63992443539889855092013-05-21T08:33:50.397-04:002013-05-21T08:33:50.397-04:00Yankee pitcher Art Ditmar and White Sox/Phillies o...Yankee pitcher Art Ditmar and White Sox/Phillies outfielder Johnny Callison. I honestly can't explain either. But I still collect their cards to this day. I THINK I have all their regular issue Topps. <br />I've done an Art Ditmar Week on my blog. Maybe it's time for Johnny Callison Week.

Paul Lindblad, Chris Speier, Bobby (Ech!) Valentine, Fritz Peterson.

Part of it was because he was the first player I had three different cards of, part of it was weird kid stuff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
