The photo was taken at Shea Stadium, and you can see a "Shell" gas station sign outside the ballpark in the distance, at about 1:30-2:00 in relation to Bud Harrelson's (#11) head.

Thats Wayne Garett, not Buddy.

How about the Washington team card to represent those variations.

Darren posted elsewhere the 74 Dave Kingman card, which is a GROOVY one I loved especially after he became a NY Met.

Had a freak out moment when I saw the Nat'l team card. I didn't remember having one, but alas, all is ok. It was in the binder after the red team checklists.

Sounds like a close call!! Good you found it. Although it might not be difficult to replace.

Good article about Carlos May and his 1974 baseball card. I had no idea about his hand injury.

Very little response the first time around. There has to be some opinions during this 2020 quarantine edition.
