No idea. Maybe the drugs were good in '75? It probably comes down to one dude working in production not paying attention. Reminds me of when I was in college I took a night job working in an auto parts production plant. The guy giving me the orientation tour pointed out a machine while walking passed it and said a kid working that machine a couple years before caused a major Ford recall.

That plant didn't build the Pinto, did it?

The drugs WERE good in 75... At least so I have read about it.

And that set rocks for me quite nicely.

I love the SSPC set regardless of where it sits in the history banks. I have both the regular set and the error set. Now whether it is a reprint or not is debatable but I don't care. I have both and I like them. It was only later in years after I bought both them that I found out that the jack wagon Olbermann wrote the backs. Regardless, I like the fronts of pretty much all of them.

As for TCMA, they have certainly earned their space on many of collectors shelves. I can get cards of older players at much more affordable prices and enjoy them just the same.

Especially when it comes to finding old Senators/Nationals cards cheap.

Enjoy!

I'd just like to note, that jackwagon has done more for the hobby while he slept, that you could ever hope to do in your lifetime. Political bias aside!

I always read his articles on variations, proofs and odd ball sets, and have lost out to him on several hobby rarities, but had no idea he did some of that while asleep. Even more impressive ��

He started in media as a teenager writing for hobby papers. In fact he was in high school when he wrote the backs for SSPC. He also took many of the pictures for 1981 Donruss so you can blame that on him.

Nonetheless. Still don’t care for him.
