1973 Topps–Gary Ross #112

I’m collecting the 1973 set, slowly but surely. This post is the latest in my quest for the completion.

• Card Facts – Gary Ross – San Diego Padres – Card #112
• Purchase Price – $.11 (Ebay lot, 40/$4.25)
• On the back (toon) – Gary likes to ride horses.
  • “A prominent member of the Padres’ bullpen in 1972.  Gary’s 60 appearances ranked 4th in NL and he had the lowest ERA on staff.  Gary won first big leauge game 6-24-68.”
• Drafted by the Chicago Cubs in the 1st round (7th pick) of the 1967 amateur draft.
• Debut – June 28, 1968
• 1968-1969 (Cubs), 1969-1974 (Padres), 1975-1977 (Angels)
• Born in McKeesport, PA

Don’t have much to say.  Kind of a boring card.  It’s nice to see glasses have changed, although the hipsters seem to want to bring them back.
