1992 Topps #965 Lloyd Moseby

 Today's missing 1992 Topps card is #965 Lloyd Moseby. 

Lloyd made his Major League debut in 1980 with the Toronto Blue Jays. He was with them until the end of the 1989 season. After the season ended, he signed with the Detroit Tigers as a free agent. and spent the 1990 and 1991 season with them. That would be the end of his Major League career. He would, however, spend the 1992 and 1993 seasons with the Yomiuri Giants in Japan. After his playing career, he was a coach with the Blue Jays for the 1998 and 1999 seasons. 

Lloyd got the nickname "Shaker" from the basketball court where he was frequently able to shake defenders. He was a solid outfielder, who won a Silver Slugger award in 1983 and was an AL All-Star in 1986. He was elected into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame in 2018. 

Lloyd's first Topps card came in the 1981 set. He got into the 1982 and 1983 Topps sets, and appeared on 3 cards in the 1984 Topps set (a base card, and All-Star card, and a team leaders card). He got into the 1985-1990 Topps sets, was on a 1990 Topps Traded card, and got his final Topps appearance in the 1991 main set. The only card Lloyd is missing to give him a career Topps run is a 1980 Topps Traded card. So we go from a guy needing 18 cards yesterday to a guy who only needs 1.
