Cards that accurately portray the player.

No head shots, no leaning on the bat rack shots, but action shots that make you say, "That's how I remember this guy".

Here are a few I thought of.

Gibson glaring in for the sign, a big swing by Reggie, and Brock leading off

Is there a Clemens card where he is gleeful over sending a 100mph heater into someone's head? That's how I'll remember him.

Like the '74 Reggie, but I'll always remember him as a Yankee.

Or maybe one of him taking 'roids?

Jason, now that's funny, and oh so accurate, with a couple exceptions. Rotten Barry Bogus Bonds should have a snarling scowl on his mug, and the whites of his eyes should at least be a faint shade of yellow.

When shamed Olympic 100 meter champion Ben Johnson was tested, the whites of his eyes were as yellow as a banana, a telltale sign he was using steroids. Of course, they still tested him, and he tested POSITIVE, was stripped of his medal, and sent back to Canada in disgrace.

But Barry? We can't seem to touch him, and the integrity of MLB, as well as its hallowed record book, is ruined ---Brian Powell

I think there are many Brooksie cards that portrayed him well, but I always thought the '73 Topps likely does the best job at accurately portraying the player.

For me it is the 1977 "Popeye" Garvey.

Robs70sCards 09-05-2017 10:29 PM
1973 Topps Johnny Bench is a good one
1974 Topps Tom Seaver
1974 Topps Jim Hunter-is this is only in Action card?
