NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1974 JIM PANTHER

Up on the blog today, and completing an entire career here on the blog with "missing" cards, is my "not so missing" 1974 card for former pitcher Jim Panther, who played the last of his Big League games during the 1973 season:


Panther appeared in 23 games for the Braves in 1973, going 2-3 with an earned run average of 7.63 over 30.2 innings pitched.
It was his third straight year of Major League action, yet he never got a card from Topps, which as stated earlier I rectified here on the blog.
All told Panther got to see Major League action in three seasons, each one playing for a different organization.
He ended up with a 7-13 career record, with a 5.26 E.R.A. and 56 strikeouts over 130 innings of work in 85 games.
