For no reason whatsoever (well, besides personal enjoyment), I present for everyone's perusal a whole bag of Roberto Clemente In Action cards that never were...

And, what the heck, some slight re-workings of the Brooks Robinson...

By special request...
Not a Hall of Famer, but the guy who captured the 1972 MVP award, Dick Allen... 1972dickallen01.jpg1972dickallen03.jpg1972dickallen02.jpg

All fake cards, the centering is too good.

I just wish Topps would have put as much thought into the originals as Darren has put into making these great "cards that could have been" recreations. Great job Darren! I love the Clemente cards.

Okay, I'll add this guy, because (to paraphrase 'Levon') I like the name...

Some additional eye candy...
Since reimagining all of those Roberto Clemente cards, I decided to give Hammerin' Hank the same treatment. Plus, I always hated the 'Fat Elvis' picture Topps used on his 'In Action' card in 1972... 1972hankaaron02.jpg1972hankaaron01.jpg1972hankaaron03.jpg 1972hankaaron04.jpg1972hankaaron05.jpg1972hankaaron06.jpg And here are two more versions of what coulda/woulda/shoulda been the greatest card of all time for us Mets/Mays fans... 1972williemaystraded04.jpg1972williemaystraded05.jpg
