#132T - Checklist, Cards 1T-132T


What a card: Welcome to the final card in the 1985 Topps Traded set, the final card of this blog.

My observation on the front: For the Traded sets of this time, Topps dispensed with its tradition of awarding stars and semi-stars card numbers ending in "0" or "5" because the Traded sets were alphabetized by card number. You see that illustrated here. No way in the world Tim Hulett should be getting a card number ending in zero.

More opinion from me: Confession time: I am glad I've reached the last card in the set.

Something you might know: Don Aase is listed fourth alphabetically among all major leaguers behind only pitcher David Aardsma and Hank and Tommie Aaron.

Something you might not know: The player listed on the front with a birthday closest to this date is Rick Cerone, whose birthday was yesterday. Ed Whitson, shown on the back, was also born on May 19.


My observation on the back: The last card listed says "Checklist: 1-132" but it's actually "1T-132T" as it says on the front.

The blog wants to speak now: The blog would like to say, this blog has concluded! Thanks for reading!
