Todays missing 1992 Topps card is #972 Eric Bell.
Eric made his Major League debut in 1985 for the Baltimore Orioles. He played with them through 1987. After 3 years in the minors, he signed as a free agent with the Cleveland Indians. He spent the 1991 and 1992 seasons with them, and signed with the Houston Astros as a free agent. He played with them for the 1993 season, which was his final season in the Bigs.
After his career in the Majors, Eric took on a different challenge, as of an article I found from 2017, he is a racer in the NHRA. He also runs a baseball academy and runs Bell Sports Gear in Arizona.
Eric only got 2 cards from Topps, a 1987 Topps Traded card and a 1988 Topps card. His missing Topps cards are from the 1985 Topps Traded, 1986 Topps, 1991 Topps Traded, 1993 Topps, 1993 Topps Traded, and 1994 Topps sets. Besides the 1992 Topps card, I’ve covered the 1991 Topps Traded, 1993 Topps, 1993 Topps Traded, and 1994 Topps cards, so he is just missing the 1985 Topps Traded and 1986 Topps cards to complete his career Topps run. Thanks for checking out my latest post.
