I like the set but have to admit, it did get old shelling out the bucks for those high # commons.
 I wish I had a scan of it but the Bill Melton IA card looks to me like he's putting a terrible swing on the ball, nice choice Topps. The Clemente IA card is the best of the bunch.Scans in the following post. Last edited by brob28; 06-10-2013 at 03:36 PM.

I never liked the subsets when I was a kid, especially of course the plain checklists, so adding all of these extra cards to take the set to nearly 800 didn't thrill me. I didn't like the In Action shots for that reason, but never really paid attention to the player selection on those. I did like the Aaron, Mays, Bench, Rose and Clemente poses though, among others. A home run trot from Hank is priceless. That candid "Ah c'mon, are you kidding me?" look from Clemente is gold. One thing I remember is a kid in my class didn't care if he had the IA or regular card of any particular player, so I made out well in trades with him (he had the same attitude with '69 Deckles and decals vs. regular card--that was almost stealing).

The Munson and Seaver in action cards are similar to the Aaron.

... but does anyone want to explain to me what Seaver is doing in his "action" shot? Looks like he's trying to force out a doody.

[QUOTE=brewing;1144471]Seeing Clemente take a 3rd strike, isn't what I would call the best card.
The candid moment that was captured in that card is priceless to me. Could be any moment in the count, I just love what I assume to be the "you gotta be kidding" me expression & body language. I think many of these "action" cards leave a lot to be desired but I still bought each and every one of 'em for my set.

I love the IA cards. I just wonder how they picked the players. It seems like half of the players were Superstars and the other half total stiffs. A lot of lousy catchers,Bob Barton,Pat Corrales,Curt Blefary,George Mitterwald,Tom Haller and we can,t forget Ed Kirkpatrick. Out of 72 IA cards the Mets had 11 and the Giants 10 while Baltimore,Cleveland,Texas,St.Louis,Milwaukee and Houston got shut out.
