Posted By: scott
i know the t205 joss is one of the most difficult cards in the set to find.all i know about it is it was printed after his death.what's the source of the scarcity and what prices would one expect to pay in varying grades?how often do they seem to appear in auctions?any pics to post? |

There must be about a hundred floating around this board! The face is great, and though it's a memorial card, it was put out only shortly after he died, and the back carries a tribute such as might have been read at his funeral. Just keep your eyes open on eBay--or at the National--you'll find one. Pricey! |

I disagree a little bit with Julie on this one. This card was printed in a later series. There were at least 4 different printings of T205 cards and Joss was in one of the latter printings. To date, I have only seen Joss with two different back ads-- Piedmont 25 and Cycle. I have not confirmed it but I feel that it possibly comes with American Beauty backs as well. |

I didn't know that. O.K. I'll scan the back...as far as I can see, we agree that it's mainly the demand that drives the scarcity, and that it was put out after his death, but not long after. |

Is it a Hassan 30 as well...that would make sense to me since many of the scarce t205s seem to come with that back as well. This really helps...players like Suggs, Turner, Raymond, etc. all come with Cycle, Hassan 30, and Piedmont 25. |

I thought it was so utterly classless of Topps not to put out tribute cards to Roberto Clemente and Thurman Munson in 1974 and 1980 respectively. I cracked pack after pack in 1980 futilely searching for the Ken Hubbs-type card on Munson, but he just dropped off the face of the earth according to Topps. |

Topps generally doesn't miss an opportunity like that. |

I'm sure Topps would have to get permission from the family of Clemente and Munson to produce a card like that. Perhaps they were unable to get the permission? |

Munson did not drop off the face of the earth. Sadly, he dropped into the face of the earth. |
