Hello everyone!

Take a look:

Here's his email that went out to everyone this morning:

"Hello Fellow Pilots Fans!!

Cards arrived today, they look great!!!  I will need the weekend to start packaging them and can start sending them out Monday and Tuesday.  Packs remain $10 a pack.  I take PayPal at davidsb623@gmail.com (no fees to me please) and now I take Venmo (thanks to my umpiring group) - @davidsb623.  Postage is one flat rate of $4.65 unless you live on the west coast and it is $5.00 (sorry, blame USPS) no matter how many packs you purchase.  

Have a wonderful weekend!!

Take care,

HERE FOR ANOTHER GUEST SPOT, BOB JONAS AND HIS 1973 WORLD SERIES SUB-SET!

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!

A GUEST CONTRIBUTION! THE 1975 WORLD SERIES PROPERLY PRESENTED IN THE 1976 SET

I am MORE than happy to bring you a 1976 World Series sub-set graciously contributed by Bob Jonas, who sent these to me a little while back.
I just had to post them up here so we could FINALLY have a decent World Series sub-set in the 1976 set since Topps really dropped the ball after such an incredible Fall Classic:

After a World Series that gave us dramatic moments in almost every game, from the all-time post-season blast from Carlton Fisk, to the Ed Armbrister “non-interference” bunt, to Tony Perez’s two-homer game. All leading to the first of two straight championships by the “Big Red Machine”, this World Series was instantly one of the classics.
Yet when the (glorious) 1976 set game out, we were given this lame post-season sub-set that left you wondering where on earth the fine folks of Topps were during the month of October in 1975!
Hey Bob! I decided to go with the original Game 7 card you designed, with the awesome photo of Will McEnaney in Johnny Bench’s arms. The look on his face is priceless!!!
Thanks to Bob for these! Hope you all like them as much as I do!
