I could pick any from 73-77 and be very happy with the choice.

Love that orange jersey and the action shot.<br /><br />But I pulled the 1979 card from the oldest pack of cards I ever bought - a rack pack that I picked up at a hobby shop in 2003.

After 1978 he'd never be dominating again. <br /><br />There is something perfect about the cards that show players right at the end of their peak. They've lived it, they've earned it, they know it. <br /><br />1978 is the memory shot for me.Field of Cardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00627747756866557026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-7559296968048835432010-07-28T01:33:01.691-04:002010-07-28T01:33:01.691-04:00Seaver used a spitball?
