That's a cool collecting theme ^^^, Robert!
Great cards in this thread, guys, and thanks for the comments on the new Bird. Everyone should have one.

That picture appeared in a lot of papers and a lot of fans behind home plate are in the picture.

I hear ya, Al. You could include the folks in the stands on the '56 Mantle, too (some even twice!). I know Topps has had a promotion where you could have your own card, but I'm surprised they haven't held a promotion where you could be in the background of a MLB player's card.
