After all the great stuff posted recently (a Topps Test Russell, are you kidding?), these are almost embarrassing to post but I had a nice visit to my LCS and pulled these from a $0.50 cent box and had a great time doing it:

I loved 70s basketball. Seeing McGinnis there reminds me of what a great player I, and lots of others, thought he would be. I remember years later reading an article to the same effect, with a title, and I think I remember it, "Oh, What Might Have Been." Yes, he made the HOF eventually for his ABA years, but he had all-time great potential IMO.

I suppose you could say something similar about Thompson, although he had somewhat more success than McGinnis and didn't IMO fall as far short of his potential. I saw him live as a sophomore. He went for something like 40 against a great Maryland team. He could leap out of the building.

And here it is.

Delighted to post some tennis rookie cards.

Signed copies of this card are real tough to find, happy to get one!

Not a new pickup but Peter's cards made me think of it and I suspect most have never seen it. Plus I'll probably never have an opportunity to post a tennis card again. From a 1980 Argentinean multisport set called Deportistas. I love that they called him Joan by accident.
