Topps 1977 ? 1979 ? Odd Ball.. Butch Hobson
 
I won these two items in a recent Hall Nostalgia auction...which was an experience in itself. Seems somewhat similar to the Topps 1971 Winners card "set" in concept. I have no idea if any checklist exists, but likely not since anyone could order the 20 cards, unlike the 1971 Winners, which I think were limited to contest winners

Congratulations!
 
I've seen that card before. There is another Red Sox player (Lynn? Rice?) out there but am not aware of any others. IIRC there was a rule about not using current MLB players, but that and at least one other slipped through.

These were discussed here a little bit last year:

I've only ever seen 2 players (Hobson & Remy), and presumably 20 were made of each.

Thanks David and Karl. I had forgotten that thread, even though I posted in it. :rolleyes:
