A couple of packs of stickers to calm the nerves.
Sports are too overwhelming right now, and I don't know what else to do, so here are some stickers. I picked up a couple of packs of 1981 Topps baseball album stickers on Listia awhile back, mostly because the wrapper looked awesome. It is awesome, in fact.
199 - Mike Schmidt - The HOF third baseman gets things off to a nice start. I always liked this version of the Phillies 'P' logo, as it coincided with the period where they were the Portland Beavers parent club.
79 - Johnny Wockenfuss - Wockenfuss didn't have a Schmidt-like career, but he does score extra points in the name department.
10 - Cecil Cooper - A lot of blue on this one.
67 - Miguel Dilone - I have no idea who this is, but the striped stirrups are a good look.
91 - Paul Molitor - Pack 2 kicks things off much the way that Pack 1 did, with a Hall of Famer.
102 - Butch Wynegar - As I've mentioned before, the Yankees were the first team I really paid attention to when I was old enough to understand such distinctions as teams and players. I remember Wynegar catching for New York, insomuch that I was aware of his existence.
179 - Bill Russell - Not the legendary basketball player, of course, but being a 3-time All-Star is nothing to sneeze at.
46 - Carlton Fisk - We end things with another world class baseball player in Fisk.
Even this creepy kid approves.
First sticker packs I ever opened.
ReplyDeleteI, of course, do like that Miguel Dilone sticker but then again he is a former Tribesman.
ReplyDeletePretty sure these were the first sticker packs I ever opened as well. Regardless... I know I've seen the creepy kid at some point in my lifetime.
ReplyDeletePretty good pull. The Wookenfuss alone made it all worth it. Schmidt, Molitor and Fisk are throw ins. :) Good stuff.
