I'd rather have Bill Freehan and Willie Horton than Rod Carew and Joe Morgan any day. I felt totally ripped off if I didn't get any Tigers.

And, I used to get way more of these than I see today. I wonder if most of these just got tossed, because there were a lot more really awful mis-cut cards in the mid-70's than you see around today. I had a '73 Al Kaline like this Toby Harrah.

I know exactly what you mean Scott. You'd put down your hard earned dime and get some mis-cut piece of crap plus a checklist and a team card! What the heck! These cards would just get stuck in the bicycle spokes or tossed into the trade pile. I still can't understand anyone wanting these poorly cut mistakes. But I guess there's always a collector out there for almost anything.
