I
am psyched to have Bob Jonas contribute yet another awesome World
Series sub-set, this time his 1973 edition, with seven great cards that
should have been a part of that great 1973 set!
Here they are:
While Topps’ actual Series sub-set wasn’t terrible, actually pretty
good, they seemed to miss some of the classic moments of the Fall
Classic, sometimes using images that really could have been better.
I love these revised cards!
Of course, the 1972 series was the beginning of TWO dynasties in a sense.
We had what would become the first of three straight championships for
the Oakland A’s, who had stars like Reggie Jackson, Sal Bando, Catfish
Hunter and Joe Rudi anchoring their team, and on the other side we had
what was already turning out to be one of the greatest teams ever, with
the “Big Red Machine” gaining steam, eventually taking home two straight
World Series wins in 1975 and 1976.
Keep’em coming Bob!!! I’ll happily post them as you create them!
