A whole lot better than I could do. After retiring, Bobby got into coaching, and is currently a coach for the Rome Braves this season. </div><div><br /></div><div>Bobby never got a Topps card in his career, in fact, the only card that wasn’t a minor league issue is his 1992 Topps MLB Debut card. Bobby is missing cards from the 1991 Topps Traded set as well as the ‘92 Topps set. I’ve covered both of those cards, so his career Topps run is complete unless he gets some coaching experience in the Majors. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0wUizo0d2AumAQ-fJGiza2QrrDBjr-HacU2SWB_Y5TECdauGtEm6e2zqD6L-btjYqhyTcYgNY6XBju7z9sDTvTwjCO-STr5RIX3DTeXg8VQhPodlVgytkHJuhMmsQ_c7-X2zs1ZXJa9Z_MFA8ZHzIbOMYyXRMeKXg2vR33CK2IgJFQYKwCCccr7T7/s320/7E25A0D7-C533-4DE9-A935-8329D537FAAA.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="226" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0wUizo0d2AumAQ-fJGiza2QrrDBjr-HacU2SWB_Y5TECdauGtEm6e2zqD6L-btjYqhyTcYgNY6XBju7z9sDTvTwjCO-STr5RIX3DTeXg8VQhPodlVgytkHJuhMmsQ_c7-X2zs1ZXJa9Z_MFA8ZHzIbOMYyXRMeKXg2vR33CK2IgJFQYKwCCccr7T7/s1600/7E25A0D7-C533-4DE9-A935-8329D537FAAA.png" width="226" /></a></div>Thanks for checking out my latest post. <div>-Jeremy<br /><div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></div></div>Jeremya1umhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17631055539594841302noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437775455675515695.post-66229086965110471122022-08-26T12:21:00.001-07:002022-08-26T12:21:07.932-07:001992 Topps #996 Kelvin Torve<div style="text-align: left;"> Today's missing Topps card is #996 Kelvin Torve.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ6A8UYqhCp3dqfZ28ar06t1zgesYFb-tmGCfZNYKW7f-mD2Ayt0yeHYaZcAqbmrCD5KZhq7nmZSVQmhIaGzP2mIU9lLIah3ikXBZIK6B4vlNPMLJtqAeQvNvA5HwybquWhjz7QCyNdMjQbds3FldopUQIWKW5MJRYJ0IvtDZ8Y9xNVHZFB7wXL9jO/s320/996.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="228" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ6A8UYqhCp3dqfZ28ar06t1zgesYFb-tmGCfZNYKW7f-mD2Ayt0yeHYaZcAqbmrCD5KZhq7nmZSVQmhIaGzP2mIU9lLIah3ikXBZIK6B4vlNPMLJtqAeQvNvA5HwybquWhjz7QCyNdMjQbds3FldopUQIWKW5MJRYJ0IvtDZ8Y9xNVHZFB7wXL9jO/s1600/996.PNG" width="228" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL-0W9CITGOmJ39TBg5jwGved6TDWJHsuqHGQyMX2bc0_JufSoOEfnpvzLgYb4mjm7lO3HZc3F-A1xTOw6DJLmdNHShKKjOCHPGChJNCUuUzH29QFAGiieuQOmZQih1AWx5rrAV9a_W0uK_39Dfy1Oqwb-E4pUXmG9tNraNQNj7dhFjkedrYPkXYoN/s348/996back.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="246" data-original-width="348" height="226" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL-0W9CITGOmJ39TBg5jwGved6TDWJHsuqHGQyMX2bc0_JufSoOEfnpvzLgYb4mjm7lO3HZc3F-A1xTOw6DJLmdNHShKKjOCHPGChJNCUuUzH29QFAGiieuQOmZQih1AWx5rrAV9a_W0uK_39Dfy1Oqwb-E4pUXmG9tNraNQNj7dhFjkedrYPkXYoN/s320/996back.png" width="320" /></a></div>Kelvin made his MLB debut in 1988 with the Minnesota Twins.

He played with them in 1992, 1993, and 1994 before being swapped to the San Diego Padres. He spent the ‘95 season with the Pads, and signed as a free agent with the Detroit Tigers. He played for them in 1996, and the Baltimore Orioles signed him as a free agent for the 1997 season. He played in Japan in 1998, and came back to the States and played with the Astros again in 1999. His last year in the Majors was 2000, and he spent it with the Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians. <div><br /></div><div>The Williams card was a little bit of a challenge for me. He didn’t get a Topps card in the 1992 set, but he was used as a checklist replacement in the 1992 ToppsGold set. Rather than making a ToppsGold checklist, Topps chose 6 players not in the ‘92 Topps set to get a ToppsGold card in place of the 6 checklists in the set. I took the Gold card and overlaid the gold nameplate with a regular one, and with a little bit of manipulation, it turned out fine. The back was the same except for the number needing to be changed. </div><div>Brian also presented me with a tricky situation for the 1991 Topps set as he was a 1990 #1 draft pick, and needed a card in that subset of the ‘91 Topps set. He also made the Majors shortly after in 1991, so he needed to get a card in the ‘91 Traded set as well. I figured since the Draft Pick card came first and was different from the regular card, so I made both. </div><div><br /></div><div>Brian got his first regular issue Topps card in the 1993 Topps set. His only other Topps card was in the 1994 set. He needs cards from the 1991 Topps set, the 1991 Topps Traded set, the 1995 Topps set, the 1995 Topps Traded set, 2 cards from the 1996 Topps set (Tigers and Orioles), the 1997 Topps set, the 1998 Topps set, the 1999 Topps Traded set, the 2000 Topps set, 2 cards from the 2000 Topps Traded set (Cubs and Indians), and the 2001 Topps set. </div><div>Besides the 1992 Topps custom, I have made Brian’s 1991 Topps,</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

In September 1990, he was traded to the Milwaukee Brewers in the Charlie O’Brien deal. Kevin finished the 1990 season with the Brewers and played with them in 1991. He got selected off waivers in April 1992 by the Seattle Mariners and played with them in 1992, his final MLB season. <div><br /></div><div>Kevin never appeared on any Topps cards during his career. He got into the 1990 and 1991 Bowman sets, the 1990 Topps TV Mets issue, the 1992 Topps Stadium Club set, and the 1991 Topps MLB debut set. A good number of Topps issued sets to not get one in the flagship set. According to his <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Brown_(left-handed_pitcher)" target="_blank">Wikipedia page</a>, he is a high school varsity baseball coach. When I searched ‘Kevin D Brown baseball’ a page came up that had his picture from the wiki page and the title Reverend Kevin D Brown. When I searched that, it led me to a <a href="https://m.facebook.com/340958486345228/" target="_blank">FB page</a> of a church called Journey Ministries in Sacramento, CA. The pictures look similar, and a post mentioned a birthday celebration for Pastor Kevin Brown on March 5, which indeed is the same as the aforementioned pitcher. <br /><div style="text-align: left;">So I guess after baseball he became a pastor at some point as well. </div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Kevin is missing 2 cards from the 1990 Topps Traded set (Mets and Brewers), one from the 1991 Topps set, one from the 1992 Topps Traded set, and one from the 1993 Topps set. </div><div style="text-align: left;">Besides the 1992 Topps custom, I’ve made Kevin’s 1991 Topps card,</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

text-align: center;"><br /></div>Jose got his first Big League action in 1985 with the Los Angeles Dodgers. He played with them through 42 games in the 1991 season. He was traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates on July 3rd, and played 15 games with them before being claimed off waivers by the Cleveland Indians. He finished the 1991 season with them and then signed with the California Angels as a free agent. He played the 1992 season with the Angels, his last season in the Bigs. <div><br /></div><div>I was a fan of the 1988 LA Dodgers team as early as 1992 or so. I got Orel Hershiser’s book ‘Out of the Blue’, and got familiar with many of the names on the team. Jose Gonzalez was one of them, and I was surprised that I couldn’t find any cards of him. I finally got his 1990 Donruss card out of a pack around 1994, and probably got his 1991 Topps card a year or so later. I still don’t have too many Gonzalez cards, but I guess I can understand since he was more of a reserve outfielder. </div><div><br /></div><div>Jose only got 2 Topps cards, those coming in the 1990 and 1991 Topps sets. He is missing cards from the 1985 Topps Traded, 1986 Topps, 1987 Topps, 1988 Topps, 1989 Topps, 1991 Topps Traded (2 cards, 1 as a Pirate and 1 as an Indian), 1992 Topps Traded, and 1993 Topps sets. </div><div><br /></div><div>Besides the 1992 Topps custom, I have made Jose’s 1989 Topps card,</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

He spent 1992 in the minors, and played with the Florida Marlins in the 1993 and 1994 seasons. The '94 season would be his last one in the Majors. <div><br /></div><div>This card was a little difficult for me, as I had trouble finding an image of Matias as a Brewer at the time. I ended up using the front of his 1992 Topps MLB Debut card for the photo. </div><div><br /></div><div>Matias didn't get into any Topps sets, so he needs cards from the 1991 Topps Traded, 1993 Topps Traded, 1994 Topps, and 1995 Topps to complete his career Topps run. Fortunately for me, those years were right when I was getting into baseball, so I have finished all of those sets, so you get a complete Matias Carrillo Topps run made entirely of customs.</div><div><br /></div><div>1991 Topps Traded</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiA4cTwgK2rJgROKK7zXyLqIebgrrTMJBfUAA1WBZ5f_l7wHHOjstmsGGzs8MZe2C-d_9WWQpM37kui6U8gXv_76luTcNLFgdmeMub48rHADXMb7I9_PcSrRVPt1E6he_yKI6njBcJW7Fk6XlUZ0mgJLeT28mwJvMAlcq2a8xLmyXL5dcgt3-FDQ_E/s344/T442.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="344" data-original-width="242" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiA4cTwgK2rJgROKK7zXyLqIebgrrTMJBfUAA1WBZ5f_l7wHHOjstmsGGzs8MZe2C-d_9WWQpM37kui6U8gXv_76luTcNLFgdmeMub48rHADXMb7I9_PcSrRVPt1E6he_yKI6njBcJW7Fk6XlUZ0mgJLeT28mwJvMAlcq2a8xLmyXL5dcgt3-FDQ_E/s320/T442.png" width="225" /></a></div>1992 Topps<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx81Z04d6qxE-sl9uB_i-L4-diZjDS1ZzMWY9Ns1KZ-bMn3eKF26BpZ31Jy60DpHd_01ZcnhufjPqyl3QarOmfTcfLp0_Qp6e4_eVa7acZx6qABaXHgNnBcVIsT8qDdVSSUeNqAFaDCuxRg8an_A1eMPHOIxp_9vqT-ORgxfj0mRl9ggl_Roxl7vQ2/s320/988.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="228" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx81Z04d6qxE-sl9uB_i-L4-diZjDS1ZzMWY9Ns1KZ-bMn3eKF26BpZ31Jy60DpHd_01ZcnhufjPqyl3QarOmfTcfLp0_Qp6e4_eVa7acZx6qABaXHgNnBcVIsT8qDdVSSUeNqAFaDCuxRg8an_A1eMPHOIxp_9vqT-ORgxfj0mRl9ggl_Roxl7vQ2/s1600/988.PNG" width="228" /></a></div><br /><div>1993 Topps Traded</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw5UanlqeIwyq5fAzPzh5EX9lr21Olz6w_Y8HHTa8gHVBfg3uOOOb31EXfJYy_s3QgBNuS6U9EQ6ymGkvlWMYB3LmAD2cyKtEA7IRrshHp4rZWTiqXjXkyEjBh4uQSXnvVnmx8erebUJdPKT_Z6tbHXBQH5bRyGhWusUJ7TzZNZnJqZdebyfPKVGcT/s336/T166.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="336" data-original-width="237" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw5UanlqeIwyq5fAzPzh5EX9lr21Olz6w_Y8HHTa8gHVBfg3uOOOb31EXfJYy_s3QgBNuS6U9EQ6ymGkvlWMYB3LmAD2cyKtEA7IRrshHp4rZWTiqXjXkyEjBh4uQSXnvVnmx8erebUJdPKT_Z6tbHXBQH5bRyGhWusUJ7TzZNZnJqZdebyfPKVGcT/s320/T166.png" width="226" /></a></div><br /><div>1994 Topps<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNfnNHES9ov--eOJK4rG791r0Xhpgf1fcZ_BMvBGf6COTYyjGQfk9HybTJcD1vK597fRRuay7a4by_EZHt0jBHqbAL9LqG5EWjAinajW_fbx5LGOny0CHjPhCYpF2Ese8UMGigskeRtZSdfNStpIPEM9o2EQ2RtlBWpFV5LNG4G06S5A-mGj9N-VoU/s346/1312.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="346" data-original-width="248" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNfnNHES9ov--eOJK4rG791r0Xhpgf1fcZ_BMvBGf6COTYyjGQfk9HybTJcD1vK597fRRuay7a4by_EZHt0jBHqbAL9LqG5EWjAinajW_fbx5LGOny0CHjPhCYpF2Ese8UMGigskeRtZSdfNStpIPEM9o2EQ2RtlBWpFV5LNG4G06S5A-mGj9N-VoU/s320/1312.png" width="229" /></a></div><br /><div>and his 1995 Topps sunset card.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMlKC7Rjpf295rRO4k3pDlag_5zJnZfUvrXbaqEf3w7e8KByLRbx5aRIfwOzUZiZfI0p__wn-Tlwu5N_MzE7k0gu6iWwb8taSZ_Z5IiDX1DjrT9dZ4nlB-S_iw_dufg5gNO1w6kqWR_IE5xfsWk9OhlmQ1XL1XYw_2jpwinwGCH0S-XJcvDLJBrU-J/s346/1082.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="346" data-original-width="247" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMlKC7Rjpf295rRO4k3pDlag_5zJnZfUvrXbaqEf3w7e8KByLRbx5aRIfwOzUZiZfI0p__wn-Tlwu5N_MzE7k0gu6iWwb8taSZ_Z5IiDX1DjrT9dZ4nlB-S_iw_dufg5gNO1w6kqWR_IE5xfsWk9OhlmQ1XL1XYw_2jpwinwGCH0S-XJcvDLJBrU-J/s320/1082.png" width="228" /></a></div>Not too bad.

It was card #391 in the OPC set, and replaced card #391, the Ron Gant All-Star card in the 1992 Topps set, since for some reason, OPC didn’t replicate the All-Star or record breaker cards in their set. <div>Jeff made his Major League debut in 1989 with the Chicago White Sox. He played the 1990-1992 seasons with the Seattle Mariners, and spent the 1994 season with the Oakland Athletics, his last one in the Majors. </div><div>Schaefer is one of my ‘white whales’ for the 1994 Topps Traded and 1995 Topps sets. He only played 6 games for the A’s in 1994, and I was unable to find a photo of him in an Athletics uniform. I was able to reach out to him in hopes that he knew of a photo that was taken of him as an Athletic, and he said he knew that a newspaper had a photo of him as an Athletic, and that was it and that he doesn’t own a copy. With no photo, I had to conjure one up, and for the record, the Pirates and Athletics are the hardest team to do that for, just because of black, yellow, and green being difficult colors to blend and either having to somehow cut and paste a different hat and uniform on a player or have to somehow create a realistic looking cap from one painted green or black.

He was part of a rare September trade that year, when he and others were dealt to the San Diego Padres along with a guy I wrote about a dozen or so cards ago, Calvin Schiraldi, in exchange for Luis Salazar and Marvelle Wynne. He finished the ‘89 season with the Pads, and played with them in 1990, 1991, and 1992, his final season in the Majors. He trolled the minors for a few seasons, and also was a replacement player during 1995 Spring Training for the Chicago Cubs. <div><br /></div><div>Phil played college baseball at Wichita State, and his coach was his older brother Gene Stephenson. His brother (and coach) was elected to the College Baseball Hall of Fame in 2014. Phil had a 47 game hitting streak in 1981, the record before Robin Ventura topped it. After his career, Phil spent a few seasons coaching, and according to his <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Stephenson" target="_blank">Wikipedia page</a>, he now hosts an AM radio show for KGSO, a sports radio station in Wichita. </div><div><br /></div><div>Phil’s first Topps card came in the 1990 Topps set. He appeared in the 1991 and 1993 Topps sets as well as his rookie issue. He is missing 2 cards from the 1989 Topps Traded set (Cubs and Padres), and a 1995 Topps card for his time as a replacement to complete his career Topps run. I haven’t covered any of his cards except for the 1992 Topps custom. </div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks for checking out my latest post. </div><div>-Jeremy<br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></div>Jeremya1umhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17631055539594841302noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437775455675515695.post-20861573188526861932022-08-06T15:35:00.000-07:002022-08-06T15:35:00.358-07:001992 Topps #983 Rob Maurer<div style="text-align: left;"> Today's missing Topps card is #983 Rob Maurer</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivE4hwm0JiOsiUut-qGAiUEUisYPDCzc7xEsuzizKB9cgllr-3_3ok5qPONLvnfATZYb2xA_RiPuR998LcfmKIp6NUb7idfp8SdTekWkDGzg1DdSX6hkD3GsXfM6uBftopaqxpDOVAURs4hM9W1X6v6XjgFcdlqoHmBkcJSztz9m2m9-47f-a6tRGu/s294/983.PNG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="294" data-original-width="204" height="294" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivE4hwm0JiOsiUut-qGAiUEUisYPDCzc7xEsuzizKB9cgllr-3_3ok5qPONLvnfATZYb2xA_RiPuR998LcfmKIp6NUb7idfp8SdTekWkDGzg1DdSX6hkD3GsXfM6uBftopaqxpDOVAURs4hM9W1X6v6XjgFcdlqoHmBkcJSztz9m2m9-47f-a6tRGu/s1600/983.PNG" width="204" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8o6XG2mdFOOk9gtAo97FKiCO1X_2dTFCsAA6jtY-N4T_5J_VKfZK2X1OZVg5trIfZXAc0Cg1DB2_w901Lzo3PQzUvjZYEEZO4KJ5nXuoc6Hf33R4wsTUm__vUj2Ex_zLeVgZCBw4p2a9hQBaJ01HgcWkswfev5U5-2yzi-aPbTMUiHWGe9e9NhZbg/s349/983back.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="246" data-original-width="349" height="226" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8o6XG2mdFOOk9gtAo97FKiCO1X_2dTFCsAA6jtY-N4T_5J_VKfZK2X1OZVg5trIfZXAc0Cg1DB2_w901Lzo3PQzUvjZYEEZO4KJ5nXuoc6Hf33R4wsTUm__vUj2Ex_zLeVgZCBw4p2a9hQBaJ01HgcWkswfev5U5-2yzi-aPbTMUiHWGe9e9NhZbg/s320/983back.png" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Rob made his MLB debut in 1991 for the Texas Rangers and played with them from 1991–1992. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Rob put up some good numbers in the minors and played 2 years in the Majors.

Wilson Alvarez got called up to make and emergency start, just his 2nd time pitching in the Majors. He came through and pitched a no-hitter against the Orioles. I’m pretty happy with how this one came out, the back basically looks similar to the Record Breaker subset, which is what I was going for. The only thing I would maybe change is the font for ‘season highlights’ on the front, and if I could get an actual photo from the game, that would be the other change I would make. Other than that, I think it’s great. <div>Alvarez’s no-hitter was one of the many no no’s in 1991 that Topps failed to put in their 1992 Topps set. Along with a 19 K game by David Cone, a few more no-hitters, and the earlier 6 SB game by Otis Nixon that I made, there are some nice highlight cards I’ve added to the 1992 Topps set. It’s back to regular cards for a while, but stay tuned for more later in my set. <br /><div>Thanks for checking out my latest post. </div><div>-Jeremy<br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></div></div>Jeremya1umhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17631055539594841302noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437775455675515695.post-74660777217553682902022-07-30T15:16:00.002-07:002022-07-30T15:16:34.996-07:001992 Topps #980 Marty Barrett<div style="text-align: left;"> Todays missing Topps card is #980 Marty Barrett. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiri2_3JZ8zV5ZrSKqv8oUy8BamjbjKqjWvnsnl2tETgFwy5mPOVj601-boqpk5xz9ZOlU8Kh1bHmWxnoFJXoUHPBz1uhLbX0azn1Lz6iQhFRSlhjhzY60EO2Nk5YgmzXF3ZAS73fGrFptNrQBdvm3V8dZfZ94uvjdCqnntgWU62iMiDo6xVla-_cui/s320/23BE5DE4-564D-4381-8B3B-51A5018D5E4F.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="222" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiri2_3JZ8zV5ZrSKqv8oUy8BamjbjKqjWvnsnl2tETgFwy5mPOVj601-boqpk5xz9ZOlU8Kh1bHmWxnoFJXoUHPBz1uhLbX0azn1Lz6iQhFRSlhjhzY60EO2Nk5YgmzXF3ZAS73fGrFptNrQBdvm3V8dZfZ94uvjdCqnntgWU62iMiDo6xVla-_cui/s1600/23BE5DE4-564D-4381-8B3B-51A5018D5E4F.png" width="222" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix52SXUpTRWM6wP4uPyRMOWijabVnK2Xoh7XewqMemU2XjfA6R6crXOPAx17yBf64_hoyiPRyqfofb2s0elyNcECX3flg_HVF9MANVTXu6DK9gFJNbKOK91p6Hs1lKVIbeTDeNeab5W69XXvlu86KzGawysekuQ9afmiWwe0F90ONp0b8sACs-JVwv/s280/8BC85446-1E6B-4599-B7D9-0A72DE9B3DDB.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="198" data-original-width="280" height="198" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix52SXUpTRWM6wP4uPyRMOWijabVnK2Xoh7XewqMemU2XjfA6R6crXOPAx17yBf64_hoyiPRyqfofb2s0elyNcECX3flg_HVF9MANVTXu6DK9gFJNbKOK91p6Hs1lKVIbeTDeNeab5W69XXvlu86KzGawysekuQ9afmiWwe0F90ONp0b8sACs-JVwv/s1600/8BC85446-1E6B-4599-B7D9-0A72DE9B3DDB.png" width="280" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Marty first made his Major League debut in 1982 for the Boston Red Sox. He played with them through 1990, and spent his last MLB season with the San Diego Padres in 1991. </div><div style="text-align: left;">Marty was the starting 2nd baseman for the Red Sox for most of his career. He got 24 hits in 14 postseason games in 1986. He was also named ALCS MVP that year. His brother Tommy played in the Majors as well, for the Philadelphia Phillies in 1988 and 1989, and the Boston Red Sox in 1992. His 1989 Topps big card also mentions a brother Charlie who pitched in the Los Angeles Dodgers chain from 1973-1978. Baseball must’ve been a family affair for the Barrett household. </div><div style="text-align: left;">Marty’s first Topps card came in the 1984 Topps set. He got cards in the 1985-1991 Topps sets, and that was it for him. Strangely, he didn’t get a card from any major brand in 1992. He is just missing cards from the 1982 Topps Traded, 1983 Topps, and 1991 Topps Traded set. I’ve covered the 1983 Topps and the 1991 Topps Traded set besides the 1992 Topps custom, so he is just missing the 1982 Topps Traded card, and his career Topps run will be complete. I’ve also covered his brother Tommy’s 1992 Topps Traded and 1993 Topps cards, so for the record, his brother is just missing cards from the 1988 Topps Traded and 1990 Topps sets and his career Topps run will be completed, as he got just a 1989 Topps card during his career. If a photo of Charlie can be located, maybe he will be added to a prospects card in one of the ‘70’s sets.</div><div style="text-align: left;">Thanks for checking out my latest post. </div><div style="text-align: left;">-Jeremy</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>Jeremya1umhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17631055539594841302noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437775455675515695.post-90076243838918045602022-07-29T16:02:00.000-07:002022-07-29T16:02:33.711-07:001992 Topps #979 Craig Worthington<div style="text-align: left;"> Today's missing Topps card is #979 Craig Worthington.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHQMVMIHUBSNZWkUoEFqzDBwdbVlxVOcYGn2Zg7McUpnyboNqUtl1XjLB7L_SJ-XWtgQqbpIZylVOHYh8g3xrumE3Iq_2I0OVKETfeETXWYkpJQn0J5j9MFq4Ax-sjt_awQ1bH2kZmQMAxO2BVJE__PoOS1CApeFOAoCwAP6DtLK3VbLZ6gT0hEdap/s320/979.PNG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="231" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHQMVMIHUBSNZWkUoEFqzDBwdbVlxVOcYGn2Zg7McUpnyboNqUtl1XjLB7L_SJ-XWtgQqbpIZylVOHYh8g3xrumE3Iq_2I0OVKETfeETXWYkpJQn0J5j9MFq4Ax-sjt_awQ1bH2kZmQMAxO2BVJE__PoOS1CApeFOAoCwAP6DtLK3VbLZ6gT0hEdap/s1600/979.PNG" width="231" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEholDfKh33tBTVk47cuMh6DYMQrYsJ1tExURrENzisVf8tcRFWfsNM9kBQC3uKgu7r8gebeDyTbVwPYNJKTj3aPjOztW6uKGOAlWmQchmUtzE6WTzqxIUFH-e8zFV4xG5O9KzuLcHsAOf8gTeTn5Ly43fMzeDhMJm-hZ-YrL_vKNuE1C73GALpmfwMr/s348/979back.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="250" data-original-width="348" height="230" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEholDfKh33tBTVk47cuMh6DYMQrYsJ1tExURrENzisVf8tcRFWfsNM9kBQC3uKgu7r8gebeDyTbVwPYNJKTj3aPjOztW6uKGOAlWmQchmUtzE6WTzqxIUFH-e8zFV4xG5O9KzuLcHsAOf8gTeTn5Ly43fMzeDhMJm-hZ-YrL_vKNuE1C73GALpmfwMr/s320/979back.png" width="320" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>Craig made his MLB debut in 1988 for the Baltimore Orioles, and played with them through 1991. He played for the Cleveland Indians in 1992, the Cincinnati Reds and Texas Rangers in 1995, and his final season was in 1996 with the Rangers. </div><div>This card looks so much like a regular Topps card because it was a card in the 1992 O-Pee-Chee set. It was card #397 in the OPC set, and it replaced card #397, the Cecil Fielder All-Star card from the 1992 Topps set. I took the OPC front, and just cut away the OPC logo, and replaced it with a Topps logo. On the back, Inhad to cut away areas between the columns of stats, and then pasted that over the blue Topps logo. Cut the old card number and add a new one, and there’s your new card. The funny thing about the card that Craig’s OPC card replaced in the OPC set is that I actually have the Fielder All-Star card signed as I got it signed in the mail in like 2005 or so back when Cecil was signing his mail for a period. I also remember pulling Craig’s 1989 Donruss card out of one of my first packs of baseball cards when I was 6. </div><div><br /></div><div>Craig only got 3 Topps cards, coming in the 1989, 1990, and 1992 Topps sets. He is missing cards from the 1988 Topps Traded set, the 1992 Topps Traded set, the 1993 Topps set, 2 cards in the 1995 Topps Traded set (Reds and Rangers), the 1996 Topps set, and the 1997 Topps set. Besides the 1992 Topps custom, I have also covered Craig’s 1992 Topps Traded card, and his 1993 Topps card. I am also currently working on the 1995 Topps Traded set, and am doing the Cincinnati Reds right now. I’m probably 3-5 cards away from Craig’s card being up. Funny how things work out sometimes. Taking into account only the customs I have finished, Craig just needs a 1988 Topps Traded card, 2 1995 Topps Traded cards (I’ll finish them both soon enough), a 1996 Topps card, and a 1997 Topps card to complete his career Topps run. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

text-align: center;"><br /></div>I figured I would make a special card for each team in the 1992 Topps set. Some cards feature multiple players, some feature guys with fun nicknames, and others feature star players. This card is the latter. Tony Gwynn was a key cog in the Padres offense in the ‘90’s as the card says, and after a few years in the bottom of the standings, the Padres made it to the World Series in 1998. While Trevor Hoffman became a relief star for the Padres, saving 53 in that ‘98 NL title year, one could play the ‘what if?’ game and imagine if the Padres had kept Gary Sheffield after the ‘92 season. Perhaps they would’ve resigned Randy Myers as closer (he played with the Padres in 1992, and himself saved 53 games in 1993 for the Cubs). He was still a star closer in ‘97, saving 45, and he had 28 saves for the Blue Jays in 1998 before coming back to the Padres as a waiver claim in August of 1998. Maybe Myers would’ve stuck it with the Padres through the lean years, they would’ve had a decent Randy Bones as a #4 or 5 Starter, Matt Mieske as a 4th outfielder, and Myers would’ve been about 3/4ths of what Hoffman would’ve been and perhaps Donne Wall, Dan Miceli, and Don Wengert would’ve made up the difference of not having Hoffman. Perhaps they would’ve acquired someone at the trade deadline. Jeff Shaw, Greg McMichael, Doug Jones, and Eric Plunk were available, maybe one of them could’ve stepped in at closer or middle relief. All that plus the addition of Sheffield to go with Greg Vaughn, Ken Caminiti, and guys like Gwynn, Steve Finley, and Wally Joyner could’ve maybe pushed the Padres over the top in the series. As it stands, they were obviously the weaker team, but that doesn’t hide the fact that they were NL champs by beating a better Braves team, and they still had Gwynn in his prime. <div>On these cards, I have written a blurb on the back about the player(s) on the front of the card and how they hope they will lead them to the playoffs. Expect to see more of these cards towards the end of the set. </div><div>In other news, I have finished the 1995 Topps main set. The page still looks like a mess. Let me explain. I chose to include replacement players in the main part of the 1995 Topps set. While the pictures of the completed 1995 set are up, I still have the checklist of all of the replacement players, as well as the ‘95 Traded checklist. When the Traded set is completed, I will probably still have the replacement player checklist up on the page as well as the completed cards. With so many replacement guys needing photoshop jobs, it is going to be a bear to complete the set, and with other sets being a priority, the checklist will probably remain on the page for a number of years. I may try to do 1 or 2 replacement cards every time I work on customs, and maybe that will help get the checklist finished. With that said, <a href="https://toppscardsthatneverwere.blogspot.com/p/1995-topps-reference-page.html" target="_blank">here is the 1995 Topps page</a> where you can view the completed regular set (minus the replacement players). </div><div>Thanks for checking out my latest post. </div><div>-Jeremy<br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></div>Jeremya1umhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17631055539594841302noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437775455675515695.post-56530015830263640652022-07-25T17:25:00.001-07:002022-07-25T17:25:11.053-07:001992 Topps #977 Nelson Liriano<div style="text-align: left;"> Today's missing 1992 Topps card is #977 Nelson Liriano. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh2bEG3Dy4u1E9MO4q0IuJbGd3CDXja0pCarBprv1rMWRlbXvAxlmCu3_2tvdlWZiU4gBcWDIRJcg4jMvFczGdY9VNWwxgTRlXxIZ40f3VtGWqc0PIR3VUcICJPOWJO54LekCdEaLtWIY-K0eg9QRHiP5YRaJa7JDG5RXjKHdrhr4vrcuay9XS9-Mi/s320/977.PNG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="223" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh2bEG3Dy4u1E9MO4q0IuJbGd3CDXja0pCarBprv1rMWRlbXvAxlmCu3_2tvdlWZiU4gBcWDIRJcg4jMvFczGdY9VNWwxgTRlXxIZ40f3VtGWqc0PIR3VUcICJPOWJO54LekCdEaLtWIY-K0eg9QRHiP5YRaJa7JDG5RXjKHdrhr4vrcuay9XS9-Mi/s1600/977.PNG" width="223" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqDRusi92olSJjCv_7SDlPZJ2qg9sG8BVsBJ3SHUFUgM_P04UzT5jKFyOIQaEE0TyKWApsDgAcAnSaui91rOFotqIeGuIybxnH5SUCi6hkCf9gdT_fKWoXWuaXyHVSOIfwJjae1pdq4yWXy5RSW0j9i4x1T2Ur0G4W7Dhuvzd-RRc4UjtcAjOvMvzF/s350/977back.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="249" data-original-width="350" height="228" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqDRusi92olSJjCv_7SDlPZJ2qg9sG8BVsBJ3SHUFUgM_P04UzT5jKFyOIQaEE0TyKWApsDgAcAnSaui91rOFotqIeGuIybxnH5SUCi6hkCf9gdT_fKWoXWuaXyHVSOIfwJjae1pdq4yWXy5RSW0j9i4x1T2Ur0G4W7Dhuvzd-RRc4UjtcAjOvMvzF/s320/977back.png" width="320" /></a></div><div>Nelson made his MLB debut in 1987 with the Toronto Blue Jays. He played with them until the 1990 MLB trading deadline when he was dealt to the Minnesota Twins for John Candelaria. He finished the 1990 season with the Twins, and signed with the Kansas City Royals as a free agent. He played with them in 1991. He spent 1992 in the minors, and signed with the Colorado Rockies as a free agent before the 1993 season, and played well enough to stick with them through the end of the 1994 season. He was then claimed off waivers by the Pittsburgh Pirates, playing the 1995 and 1996 seasons with them. Selected off waivers again, this time by the Los Angeles Dodgers, he played with them in 1997. He signed with the Rockies again as a free agent, and spent the 1998 season with them, his final one in the Majors. </div><div><br /></div><div>This is one of the cards I wish I would redo. Not being able to find an image of Nelson with the Royals, I used this image of him as a coach. As you will see a few sentences down with the 1991 Topps Traded card, I should’ve just airbrushed a Blue Jays photo and added a KC logo to it. I’ll always remember Nelson for his 1988 Topps Big card. My friend Nathan owned it, and sometime between 1993 and 1995 (around 4th and 6th grade), I traded something and got the Liriano card. On the back of it, it has a comic that mentioned that his brother Charlie played in the minors for the Indians. I don’t think Charlie made it to the Majors, and I am pretty well versed in ‘90’s MLB players, and I’ve never heard of him making it. Seriously, I would guess there are probably 25 or fewer guys who played a game from 1990-1999 who I couldn’t tell you what team they played for or what year. Maybe I could get a bunch of readers to do a baseball trivia via a Zoom call and see if they can sneak a ‘90’s name past me. I don’t think it can be done. I really should’ve tried out for Sports Jeopardy back when it was still on. </div><div><br /></div><div>Back to Nelson, he got his first card in the 1988 Topps set. He got into the 1989, 1990, and 1991 regular Topps sets, and in a kind of surprising move, got into the 1993 Topps Traded set as his final Topps issue. Nelson is missing cards from the 1987 Topps Traded set, the 1991 Topps Traded set, the 1994 Topps set, the 1995 Topps set, the 1995 Topps Traded set, the 1996 Topps set, 2 cards in the 1997 Topps set (Pirates and Dodgers), 2 cards in the 1998 Topps set (Dodgers and Rockies), and the 1999 Topps set. </div><div>Besides the 1992 Topps card above, I have made the 1991 Topps Traded card, the 1994 Topps card, the 1995 Topps card, and both 1998 Topps cards. Now Nelson is missing just the 1987 Topps Traded card, the 1995 Topps Traded card, the 1996 Topps card, 2 1997 Topps cards (Dodgers and Rockies), and the 1999 Topps card to finish his career Topps run. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I probably chose a bad font for the top part on the front. I should've turned the text on the back at an angle. While I will admit that, what I will also point out was that this was one of my first 10 or so customs cards that I've ever made, and if I were to remake the card, it would probably blow this one out of the water. And if you consider the fact that this is your first World Series highlight card since the 1981 set, and that Topps wouldn't pick up the subset again until the 1998 set, you're welcome. <div>This card highlights the thrilling Game 7 of the cat and mouse 1991 World Series, where John Smoltz and Jack Morris battled for 9 innings throwing 0's on the scoreboard. If not for a trick decoy play by future Yankee schmuck Chuck Knoblauch, the Braves would've probably held a 1-0 lead and turned it over to either Juan Berenguer or Alejandro Pena for the 9th to get the save. I'm kind of glad 'the Blockhead' got the yips towards the end of his Yankee$ career and cost them some wins. While I am a Rays and Tigers fan at heart, back in the '90's before the Rays had a team, I followed the Braves pretty close from 1991-1998 or so. That Twins series and all of the crap the Yankees got with their insane spending left a hurt on many a Braves team in that decade. Back to the '91 Series, with a 0-0 tie in the bottom of the 10th, Dan Gladden hit a double, advanced to 3rd on a sacrifice, and the bases got loaded after 2 intentional walks. With 1 out, pinch-hitter Gene Larkin came in to hit, and hit a drive to deep left center to win the game and the World Series. <br /><div style="text-align: left;">Thanks for checking out my latest post.</div></div><div style="text-align: left;">-Jeremy</div>Jeremya1umhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17631055539594841302noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437775455675515695.post-14510326980790854032022-07-20T12:04:00.000-07:002022-07-20T12:04:00.758-07:001992 Topps #974 Pat Hentgen<div style="text-align: left;"> Today's missing Topps card is #974 Pat Hentgen.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCnIaPdRmNu9wjhdGlCWvf5JykiGQl-Z9ITvw2BOoChll6ohGV7LtiTrjREVoF7ABwATYuyiwGa-rwcJd9osafqK-SU28uh7ciywszRXpOW2LbEawl4wICMqa2IoB6T9y0wDQ5wFGzvLK2Ll9Qpd0cMJslwI5iFK0YhtvFR5a-OL28flFn8icCZ21-/s320/974.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="225" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCnIaPdRmNu9wjhdGlCWvf5JykiGQl-Z9ITvw2BOoChll6ohGV7LtiTrjREVoF7ABwATYuyiwGa-rwcJd9osafqK-SU28uh7ciywszRXpOW2LbEawl4wICMqa2IoB6T9y0wDQ5wFGzvLK2Ll9Qpd0cMJslwI5iFK0YhtvFR5a-OL28flFn8icCZ21-/s1600/974.PNG" width="225" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXARXcgei81VaW4_a9dCCdlR5h-j07mHgnsGz9capBwGkkN1yVUCLn3lZiBNMD8WZfvpyCiEt-Y6u9M-GC7EwXF0VZix3NbdXoFYxwZ16ofwA0d0JbTnnvRLVNA2ETv4xSnyv42I7_r3DCm9temP1hJgY473nLCmKVyKmsSwohS68-f4L-Gflq0Pmi/s349/974back.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="244" data-original-width="349" height="224" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXARXcgei81VaW4_a9dCCdlR5h-j07mHgnsGz9capBwGkkN1yVUCLn3lZiBNMD8WZfvpyCiEt-Y6u9M-GC7EwXF0VZix3NbdXoFYxwZ16ofwA0d0JbTnnvRLVNA2ETv4xSnyv42I7_r3DCm9temP1hJgY473nLCmKVyKmsSwohS68-f4L-Gflq0Pmi/s320/974back.png" width="320" /></a></div>Pat made his Major League debut for the Toronto Blue Jays in 1991. He pitched with them until the end of the 1999 season. Traded to the St. Louis Cardinals in the '99 offseason, he spent the 2000 season with them before signing with the Baltimore Orioles as a free agent. He played with them from 2001 to 2003, and signed with the Blue Jays before the 2004 season. He played the '04 season with them, before calling it a career. After his playing career, he spent the 2011 and 2013 seasons as the Blue Jays bench coach. <div><br /></div><div>Pat is probably most famous for winning the 1996 AL Cy Young award, one that many felt deserved to go to Andy Pettite. Good for Pat, though. You know how cocky Yankee fans can get, and how they feel that they are entitled to awards and such. He also won 2 World Series titles with the Blue Jays, and many don't know it, but pitched a splendid 19-9 record in 1993, his 3rd season, a main reason the Jays got to the playoffs. He was a 3-time All-Star. </div><div><br /></div><div>I got the chance to talk to Pat in 2010. Former Big Leaguer Rob Ducey had an idea to put on a pro free agent showcase, something where pro ballplayers (with or without Big League experience) could come together in Florida for a day, and participate in drills run by former big leaguers, who were 'coaches'. Scouts were invited, and the hopes were that it would help some of these players gain exposure and sign contracts. With all of the collusion that owners have been doing, I think one of these would be a good idea myself. Unfortunatley, for Rob, it only lasted 1 year. The 1 year it did, Pat was one of the coaches, and I e-mailed Mr. Ducey to see if I could come along and try to get autographs. He quickly responded that it was ok. I came along, got autographs from coaches like Heathcliff Slocumb, Cecil Fielder, Mr. Ducey, Pat Hentgen, and players like Tim Raines, Jr., Pete LaForest, and Sheldon Fulse (a former classmate of mine in elementary school). While getting Pat's autograph, I asked him where he had his Cy Young award, and he replied 'probably somewhere in my basement'. </div><div><br /></div><div>Pat didn't get his first card until the 1993 Topps set. He appeared in the 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2000 Topps Traded, and 2001 Topps (Orioles) sets after his first Topps card, with the 2001 Topps card being his final one. He is just missing cards from the 1991 Topps Traded, 2001 Topps (Cardinals), 2002 Topps, 2003 Topps, 2004 Topps, 2004 Topps Traded, and 2005 Topps cards to finish his playing days Topps run. For his coaching career, he just need cards from the 2011 Topps Update, 2012 Topps, 2013 Topps Update, and 2014 Topps sets to finish his career Topps run as a coach. Besides the 1992 Topps card, I have covered Pat's 1991 Topps Traded card. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXvCCHu2yDEVBmXdJUTrPAB0UggvIDy2Ii9mlZ2X_QOj1RipWANmnth-pEIopql6RTZHaZ8IobUIVCdx4WkpQ-tHBbXXK-LYMK5IQGjUm06bpo-6KJQ7yPYFgPEsKv2wkiWz5xRjqNFTrN7YEnJjJzgIjW0f5XFZKlgFupqtmc6LCJsEvEWu4Hb3Fn/s346/T513.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="346" data-original-width="240" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXvCCHu2yDEVBmXdJUTrPAB0UggvIDy2Ii9mlZ2X_QOj1RipWANmnth-pEIopql6RTZHaZ8IobUIVCdx4WkpQ-tHBbXXK-LYMK5IQGjUm06bpo-6KJQ7yPYFgPEsKv2wkiWz5xRjqNFTrN7YEnJjJzgIjW0f5XFZKlgFupqtmc6LCJsEvEWu4Hb3Fn/s320/T513.png" width="222" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div>He is just missing cards from the 2001 Topps (Cardinals), 2002 Topps, 2003 Topps, 2004 Topps, 2004 Topps Traded, 2005 Topps, 2011 Topps Update, 2012 Topps, 2013 Topps Update, and 2014 Topps sets to complete his career Topps run (unless he gets another coaching job). <br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></div>Jeremya1umhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17631055539594841302noreply@blogger.com0
