I was picking up some set needs at Sportlots and ended up with 3 for this collection.
I do like picking up team cards. Every time I get them, I'm reminded why I like them. These are 3 more from the 1981 Topps set. That set has a bunch in the team collection because I'm fairly close to completing it. Even saying that, I'm still a couple of teams short from having all of them. Leave it to the California team to not use the stadium backdrop and heading to the ocean.
Kudos to whoever decided to have them take their photo at the pier, beach, or wherever that's at. As much as I love a nice stadium shot in the background... that Padres team card is unique.
ReplyDeleteThe '81 Padres team card is only surpassed by the '80 Padres team card, in which there are ELEPHANTS in the background.
ReplyDeleteWell now I'm going to look at that card harder when I see it.
