Adam...THANKS! Just went and bought that very card...I passed on the APBA, no picture...
Didn't even think about Satchell Paige...we were robbed on that one. Yes on the Munson, would have been a highlight of that 80 set for sure. Topps could have also done a better job with Clemente in 73, but considering their track record I suppose we should be lucky he got a card at all in that set. One of my favorite Clemente cards. I think the Campanella is a great card... Last edited by Harliduck; 11-20-2012 at 01:11 PM.

I agree on the Munson. I remember being surprised -at age 20- that Topps did not have a Munson.Topps did a nice Campanella and coincidently at the same position. As far as Clemente, I am sure all Topps were printed when his death occured, but then it strikes me that they had time to "do something" in later print runs like series 4, 5, or 6. Je should have had 2 cards that year.---Tom

Let me direct you to this cool website discussed here many times before. Here is a sample of what several enterprising card collectors have created.

77 Jackson
1977 Reggie Jackson
Ok, there was a card, but an airbrushed (poorly) Yankee? How awesome would it have been to have an action shot of him as an Oriole!?!? You could always replace the pathetic airbrush job with the 77 Burger King Jackson...an actual photo in a Yankee uniform. There is also a 77 Topps Reggie proof out there...I attached a copy of a photo I found, as this card is only on my wish list.

They definitely missed the boat on both tribute cards. I especially felt it with munson since I was a fan.

Re: Stretching Mantle to 1970... Topps did stretch Mantle plenty by including him in the '69 set. He retired prior to the '69 season.
