1980 Topps #77
And in my neighborhood... this card was on everyone's wantlist. Out of all of my friends... there was one copy and it flip-flopped between several of our houses over the years.
I have no idea who ended up with the card... or if they ended up holding onto it. Regardless... I'm just glad that I have a copy for my collection.
It's off-centered. It has soft corners. And the edges aren't much better. But does condition really matter when it comes to sentimental value? No in my book.
Happy Monday and sayonara!

I always felt that Stieb -- and not Jack Morris -- was the best pitcher who pitched throughout the 1980s. He threw a ton of innings early in his career for some bad Blue Jay teams, and that cost him longevity and health by the time he was 33.
I thought any pitcher that had a winning record during the early days of the Blue Jays was good.
Sentiment over condition. I don't think it matters
