Speaking of great pictures, as I was going through the cards, I stopped to appreciate the Tim Foli card. Who is Tim Foli you ask? I have no idea. But take a look at this...between Tim's expression, the action, Youngblood's awkward arm angle in the slide (???), Tim's autograph penmanship, and those old time Pirate uniforms, this makes for a GREAT card:

Tim Foli was a decent infielder who could play 2b-3b-ss and hit around .250. Kind of guy who'd get sacrifices and HPB if he could, not cause trouble, etc.
