Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

That’s a great looking card that never was! Are you partial to the 72 Topps set or something?

Yup, I am absolutely obsessed with the 1972 set , but it all started with the realization that the great players of the Orioles and Cardinals were excluded from the cool 'In Action' cards, so I started 'correcting' it (https://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=219771).


Here's another one of my creations that would've worked fantastically in 1974...

Dean, that's a really nice '57 Mays. Been looking for one that nice. Most either have too dark an image (like under a shadow) or are riddled with "snow".

Here are two that just arrived in the mail from GregMorris Cards:
I love having Mays, Aaron and Clemente on one card. Three of my all-time faves.

By the way, they New York Post published some cool pictures of Willie today in honor of his B-day: https://nypost.com/2022/05/06/celebr...91st-birthday/

Thanks Charles. Definitely a tough card to find centered with a nice image.
