REVISITING A POST FROM 10 YEARS AGO: "MISSING" 1976 JERRY MARTIN

Thought I'd revisit a post from exactly 10 years ago today, my "missing" 1976 card for Jerry Martin, which was part of a fun collection of creations for my buddy Jim's project:


Martin played in 57 games during the 1975 season for the Philadelphia Phillies, hitting .212 with 24 hits in 114 at-bats.
It was his second taste of the big leagues, and he’d go on to play for another nine years before hanging them up after the 1984 season after 51 games with the New York Mets.
In between he suited up for the Chicago Cubs, San Francisco Giants and Kansas City Royals, putting in his best seasons with the Cubs in 1979 and 1980 when he hit a combined 42 home runs with 146 runs batted in.
