Best of 1975 Topps

[Samsdaddy]

1975 Topps was the first year I collected cards and as many, your first set holds a special place in your heart.

Living in the suburbs of Chicago, I was a White Sox fan and Dick Allen was the man. I still love this card even if on the back it says he was traded to Atlanta.

Also, I think it is cool he is wearing his batting helmet in the field.

The last Aaron card where he appears as a Braves player. I love the All Star logo.

Reggie75.jpg

Though I think the 1974 Reggie is a better action card, this is my favorite Reggie of the decade. Back as a 8 year old kid, I knew Reggie was a superstar as well as he was on the hottest team in baseball at the time.

Fran Healy played with the Yankees for a while and became good friends with Reggie. He was a mediator between Reggie and Billy Martin. This card also reminds me of my youth. I had a ton of these. I like his pose with the big, fat catcher's mitt so prominant in the picture.

I also like Brett's rookie. I remember having his card back in 1981-82 and it was going for around $7.50 and I thought that was a lot of money for a baseball card.
