In no particular order...

(All photos are grabs from ebay)

• 1973 Willie Mays - The first card of my idol in the uniform of my beloved Mets.

• 1978 Reggie Jackson - The classic Reg-gie follow through. Awesome!!

• 1972 Willie McCovey - Love the blurry hand. Can't recall another Topps card with that effect.

• 1970 Mets Team - The Mets won the World Series. The freakin’ World Series!!!! How happy could a kid be??

• 1974 Nolan Ryan - This one needs no explanation. Look at that shot!!

• 1976 Johnny Bench - In a word, "intimidation."

• 1977 Dave Kingman - My absolute favorite player in a great photo as he 'Kongs' one to left.

• 1974 Frank Robinson - As a portrait, this picture is an absolute work of art.

• 1973 Johnny Bench - What an absolutely gorgeous shot!! And look how lifeless the Giants are in the dugout. They’ve already conceded defeat to the Big Red Machine!!

• 1972 Bobby Bonds - Look at that grin on his face. It says, "Dangit!! How I’d miss that one??!! I can't believe I didn't launch that pitch!!"

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
