I think the Topps color separation proofs are very underrated....works of art to me!

Awesome. Couldn’t agree more.
Had Murph sign mine.

That b/w Murphy looks so great with his blue signature popping off the card.

All the artwork and proofs have been underappreciated. Here's a fun one I have:

This is the photo that Topps artists painted to make Bob McAdoo's 1975 card:

Here is a proof:

I scraped that silly "solo" shit off the slab as soon as I got it.

And a few 1974 Dave Bing cards:

Fleer has some good ones too. :)

Still wish Dale Murphy was in the HOF. 2 more HRs? Looking at his stats - he hit 44 in '87 with a .295 and finished 11 in MVP voting? With cable TV in the early 80s, the Braves were America's team.....

I agree. I picked up his RC in a PSA 10, and I’m hopeful he gets the call in 2022. I still have my Dale Murphy signature Rawlings glove from when I played tee-ball in the 80s. You’re right, they were America’s team then.
