What a card: The first checklist card of the set. What else in there to say?
My observation on the front: WOW! THAT'S A LOT OF YELLOW!!!
More opinion from me: To my disappointment, Topps often used a yellow background with checklist cards. Just in the 1980s, Topps used it in 1981, 1983, 1985 and 1986.
Something you might know: This is the first of six numbered checklist cards in the set.
Something you might not know: Topps stopped distributing its numbered checklists throughout the base set in 1993, throwing them at the end of the set instead. And it stopped numbered checklists altogether with the 2000 set.
My observation on the back: Always fun to get a look at which players are coming up next. And, look! The second subset begins soon!
The blog wants to speak now: The Movies and News categories are updated. Ominous talk of a strike in baseball.
I love recursive cards like this, where the checklist itself is listed on the checklist. Imagine if each listing were clickable--you could just keep clicking on card #121 and getting the same checklist.
ReplyDeleteBoy, that is one horribly misaligned checklist
