Lazy
I think that in 1966 Keane would be disappointing to find in your pack , much like most manager cards and checklists. Most of us , understandably , want ball players :roll eyes
You can keep the coaches, trophies and for heavens sake the umpires out of the sets!!
Topps really showed a lack of creativity, design or appreciation of what a great opportunity they had in the 60's. They just look lazy. Hatless portraits, repeated poses year after year, dull pictures , plain designs...ugly airbrushed pictures.
Sometimes I wonder why I collected them! I have that ugly Keane card in my binder but I don't think I have looked at it since I slid the card into the plastic sheet...
I like the cards in the 70's much better (and the 50's) as a rule. i may be biased since the 70's I was pulling cards out of the packs...and somehow despite the dumb trophies, 1972 is my favorite set of all.
Give me the psycho set all day! (damn high numbers!)
