1992 Topps #927 Steve Crawford

Steve Crawford pitched in the Majors from 1980 through 1991. He came up in 1980 with the Boston Red Sox, and was with them from 1980 through 1987. He spent the 1983 season in the minors. In 1988, he was in the minors with the Los Angeles Dodgers system, and then spent the last 3 years of his career with the Kansas City Royals in 1989, 1990, and 1991.

Steve got his first Topps card in the 1982 Topps set, and got into every Topps set from 1983 through 1988, only not getting into the 1984 set because he spent 1983 in the minors. He was in the minors in 1988, so no 1989 Topps card, and he was left out of the 1990 Topps set. He got his final Topps card in the 1991 set, and was left off of every major brand set in 1992 besides Score. This 1992 Topps custom would've been Steve's sunset card. Steve is now only missing cards from the 1981 and 1990 Topps sets, and perhaps a 1980 Topps rookie stars card with maybe Wade Boggs???

Thanks for checking out my lastest post.

1992 Topps #926 Rick Reed

 Rick Reed played in the Majors from 1988 until 2003. He got a good number of cards, but most of them came after he was a replacement player and re-invented himself as a pitcher.  He pitched for the Pittsburgh Pirates from 1988 to 1991, the Kansas City Royals in 1992 and part of 1993, the Texas Rangers from part of 1993 to 1994, the Cincinnati Reds in 1995, the New York Mets from 1997 through 2001 when he was traded to the Minnesota Twins during midseason, and played with them through 2003, his final Big League season.

Rick got his first Topps card in 1993. He didn't get into another Topps set until 1998, but after that he appeared in every set through 2004, which was his final Topps card. He is missing cards from the 1989 through 1992 Topps sets, and the 1994 through 1996 Topps sets. I finished his 1992 and 1994 Topps cards, and now he only has the 1989, 1990, 1991, 1995, and 1996 sets that he needs a card from. I will also make a card of him from the 1994 Topps Traded Update set for when he was a replacement player with the Reds. Here is the 1994 Topps regular version I made.

I have a lot of stuff going on right now (most of which you can read about on my other blog), so it may be a while before I post again, but I will keep plugging away at this set.
Thanks for taking the time to read my lastest post.
