Brett--The only thing I can say is nice cards, because I'm stumped on the cards. I was thinking along the All Star angle but I can't figure it out. Good question. Doug
Here's some '57s that I've had for a long time. I have always asked myself why I never upgraded the Clemente, Brooks Robby or Mays. No creased is a plus--- but in the end I'm just happy I have them in the set. Anyone out there know if the two Burgess cards are variations? The lettering seems different with more shadowing on one card compared to the other. I went a little nuts with the scans today because we have a new and improved scanner, now you can really see how crappy my cards look. Take care everyone. Doug
Mark, nice '53s. I agree, very nice set. A few more stabs at the question. They had more than one year of "IN-ACTION" cards or something to do with the '82 set.

I think you are really close. I'm guessing that they had In-Action cards in BOTH 1972 and 10 years later in 1982.
Brett- Beautiful '72s, and for that matter the '82's. I'm more of a fan of the 72's and those are sharp! I always like that Seaver IA, you know exactly what he was thinking in that shot. "Where was that pitch?"
Thanks Brett, my collection is dysfunctional and I'm a horribly impulsive buyer. The only good thing is, I'm never lacking something to purchase (if only my card budget were bigger).

Hmm. Good one. Not totally sure about this one (don't know about Monteagudo and Adams), but I'll say that Grieve is the only one not to have a Father play in the Majors.

You are 100% correct. All but Grieve had MLB dads. Grieve was chosen as the odd man out because his son, Ben, was a big leaguer. But you weren't fooled!

Brett, I doubt this is what you are looking for, but Fingers (only HOF)? >>
Bobby,
I can kick myself for overlooking that. I tried to include only players who would keep the question unambiguous, but I blew it. Although that isn't the answer I was looking for, Fingers is the correct player. He is the only one among the group to have started a game in the big leagues. The 11 others were purely relievers, spending their entire careers in the bullpen.
Beautiful cards today guys. Brett your quiz cards are always top notch. I just got back from the Seattle card show, very busy with some really nice cards. I realized I need more money as I was walking around. Here's some '58s . Take care. Doug
None of the 1970 manager's were crackouts, but likely 1/2 of the '74's were. I can't remember which ones, though. The only ones I can recall cracking out were Steve Foucault, Jerry Hairston, and Rollie Fingers; but I've cracked out so many hundreds of cards that I just can't keep track of them all.
Doug, those are some great 58's! I would be happy to find cards like that to add to my set.
Brett, what do you do with all of the flips from the cracked out cards? Do you have to turn them back in to PSA so that they can update their population reports?

Tom,
I have a bunch of flips waiting to go back. I tossed a whole bunch of them in the past before I knew that returning them to PSA was an option.

<< <i>They have letters that repeat in there last name. ie. two 'I's" two "T's" etc. >>
Nope. Szotkiewicz defeats that theory.
Edited to say: To clarify, I thought you meant they all have two sets of repeating letters. Sorry for any confusion.
<< <i>They all have 10 letters in their last name >>
Close enough. Some have more than 10, but they all have at least 10. Good job.

Thanks for the reply. The answer has nothing to do with on-field accomplishments; it's strictly baseball card related. Keep trying.

You have some really beautiful cards. I don't have any '50's cards, but I sure love 'em.

I thought this was an easy one, but I didn't expect to get the answer so quickly. Well done...and thanks for ruining my fun!
<< <i>Doug,

Sorry Brett, I was thinking that too, with all the work you put into this. No outfield seats gave it away.
Those are some super-looking cards.
<< <i>Rob and Doug,
Those are some super-looking cards. It's amazing how comprehensive your collections are. >>
Thanks Brett---It's called being old (speaking for myself) and having a love for the hobby that has lasted since being a kid.

You get full credit.
