World Champions - 1 (Orioles Team Card)


The first card is a team card, and it is of the team that won the previous year’s World Series. Topps did this a couple of years in the late 60’s early 70’s or so. They stopped it in 1973 and never resumed the practice. The back shows some franchise records, which is pretty interesting. It is better than a superfluous checklist like team cards of the late 70’s featured.

I guess that is better than a League Leaders sub-set, or some other useless card, but a team card is almost as useless. Basically, I am not a fan on non-player cards, as I will elaborate on as the blog progresses.

My card here needs upgrading, but you can’t tell that because I am using a stock photo.
