A year of Lou Brock

[stlcardsfan]

I saw Lou at the Cardinals home opener today along with all the other living HOFers. Lou lost one of his his lower legs to diabetes a couple years ago but has handled it with nothing but class. He got a huge ovation and some loud “Louuuus” from the crowd.

Some pickups over the last 4 months.

1972 Topps with the stats overprinted on the front.

1975 and 76 Stolen base leaders blank backs

1979 Real Photo (I'm not sure what that means, that's the Ebay description)

Cool picture of Lou with Keith Hernandez on deck!

Here are a few recent pickups. Miscuts and a certificate given out if you were at the 3000 hit game (I was not).

The Carew All Star shows Lou batting in the background, using the same photo as the 69 WS card 165. Thanks to the Net54 board for pointing that out.

I've been following the Brooks Robinson thread, keep it up, lots of great stuff there.

David,

Appreciate you following along the Brooks and Orioles thread. Thanks for the inspiration to do it... I know I enjoyed viewing your thread ever day of the year and now like the updates as well.

Really like the blank backs and miscuts. Some favorites that I like to collect as well (when I can find them).

6 1/2 years late to the party...this was a fun read scrolling through all the posts. It brought back some fun memories.

I had forgotten about the RC Cola's and the wiffle ball boxes, and the 7-11 cups. I still have multiple copies from packs of the 1978 "77 Record Breaker" cards. "AMC Pacer, Official Car of the Phillies" and "Dodge Material" ads are hilarious. Here's a run of the mill 65 that I picked up last year...

Here's my 3000th hit ticket to go along with your certificate.

2005 Archive card I thought just looked cool and was cheap
