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.
ReplyDeleteI thought any pitcher that had a winning record during the early days of the Blue Jays was good.
ReplyDeleteSentiment over condition. I don't think it matters
