1972 Topps
My favorite set ever.
I posted about this before.
Out of 72 IA cards 6 teams had none.
Baltimore with the Robinsons,Powell, Palmer, McNally Etc a true powerhouse
St. Louis with Torre(MVP) Brock, Gibson
Cleveland,Texas,Milwaukee and Houston
While the Mets had 11 cards,Giants 10 and the Padres,A's,Yanks,Pirates and Reds had 5 each. The Padres with 5?
even the Dodgers and Angels only had 3 between the 2 of them.
As a Mets fan I was happy but the breakdown is totally scewed in favor of the Giants and Mets.
I am glad that George Mitterwald and Steve Renko were picked! I almost forgot about Paul Schaal.
