Default 1968 1970 1971 Topps Help

Does anyone know of any player cards that list Arkansas as their home in the 68,70 & 71 Topps? I know of zero but suspect there must be at least 1.

Where they were born, or where they were living in those years ?

Here's a good starting point if you're looking for native sons:

https://www.baseball-reference.com/bio/AR_born.shtml

A spot check from that list shows these: Brooks Robinson and Lou Brock, Willie Davis, Floyd Robinson ('68 Topps only from your list), Rick Monday and Don Kessinger, along with Dick Hughes, he of that magical 1967 season, who appears in '68 and '69 Topps only.

Hughes was a Razorback and also lived in AR per his '69 Topps card, but not per his '68 Topps (Shreveport LA). Kessinger lists Forrest City as home on his '68 card but not the others.

Hope that helps.

Those years of Topps list home only.

There is no Floyd Robinson card that lists Arkansas that I can find.

The song has always stuck with me since I first heard it more than 40 years ago. Helps remind me of my priorities, and of various people I have known.

JB is one of my favorites ! Was luck enough to see him at Levon Helms Barn in Woodstock NY a few years ago. Great experience !

One great reference is you can go to the COMC site and all the fronts and backs of each card in these are visible.

If you have the patience you can check each and every card in these sets to see if your needs can be answered

And there is no cost

https://www.comc.com/Cards/Baseball/...pps,ot,p3,i100

Begin here and just go card by card -- use the Turn over button to see the backs for your request. I actually, before I went to work there, spent a New Year's Day doing exactly that (not for Arkansas reasons but just as nostalgia purposes)
