1981 Topps Baseball

A 1981 Topps pack that did cost a little more than 35 cents.

Although no one really wants damaged cards I do sort of miss wax pack marks on the back of cards as in this Luis Tiant:

#627 Luis Tiant

Although George's nickname is "Captain Easy" Wikipedia says that he rarely signs autographs. There's a challenge for you Through The Mail collectors!

Possibly Coolest Random Stat Ever: Ron Hassey is the only catcher to catch two perfect games.

#564 Ron Hassey

Night Owl, if you need/want this one just let me know.

#440 Jerry Reuss

Punk Rock Paint, if you need this one just let me know.

These future stars look so young and innocent...well, as innocent as two guys with a mustache and one guy who looks like Charles Bronson without a mustache can look.

#356 Padres Future Stars George Stablein/Craig Stimac/Tom Tellman

If this isn't one of Dinged Corners favorites, it should be:

#484 Max Venable
#346 Larry Christenson
#525 Mike Torrez
#646 Marvis Foley
#492 Barry Foote
#631 Ron Jackson
