Who likes 75 Mini's?

Wish I'd have bought this when I was 10 and stuck it in the closet...

    oooof, my pants are tight
  • I've never been impressed with the card design.
    Honestly, the is design is UGLY.
    It's a shame that Yount & Brett couldn't have had a better card design

    I'm prepared for the bashing to come
    :-)
  • Jumpin Jesus!!!

    Hockeyguy,
    I'll take some of the heat for you. I, too, have never been a big fan of the '75's. I don't care for the design nor the limited stats on the back. I'm especially antagonistic toward the minis because they have hampered me in my quest to upgrade my '75 regular set. On many occasions I've gotten excited thinking I've finally found an elusive high-grade card, only to discover upon closer look that it's a stinkin' Mini! Those little bleepers have a nack for getting in the way.

  • I'll take the 75 over any Topps baseball design the last 5 years. They went three years with just barely changing a font, then went black, and now back to almost the same design as the 2004-2006. Perhaps Topps hired only one designer 5 years ago and fired him (or her....gotta be politically correct) only forgot to replace him/her.
    Collecting PSA graded Steve Young, Marcus Allen, Bret Saberhagen and 1980s Topps Cards.
    Raw: Tony Gonzalez (low #'d cards, and especially 1/1's) and Steve Young.

    I'll take it over EVERYTHING that came after it, but I'd sell it as soon as I got my hands on it :-)

    I'm probably one of the few people who agree with you.
  • Not too much bashing. Either I'm not worth responding to, or there is something to what I've said.

    Unfortunately, from now on every unopened 75 mini box or pack will remind me of one thing: Gary.

    Are these pics the same ones from that rip thread?

    I know there were some pics of when zef and Gary went to Steve's place to get them.

    They look very familiar.
  • I guess I am in the minority as well......those fruity colors don't belong on a manly baseball card!
  • nam812nam812 Posts: 10,601 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Aren't those the exact pictures of the case that Zef and Gary opened at the Baseball Card Exchange warehouse/office?

    Edited to add: I did not see that Matt had asked the same question, but it's the third picture that is the most familiar to me.

    I don't know for sure Matt, but I agree with you, it seems I've seen those pictures before. I can't tell if the shirt that's barely in the first picture is a Big Dogs brand or not. The pink fuzzy couch looks as if it came from Stepanie's closet though. So who really knows?

    Yep. Check the serial number stamped on the side (212351).

    Welcome back Gary. Now go away.

    Dang gumby, fine work. That is indeed a Big Dogs shirt in the photo. And maybe that's Gary's arm and not a pink furry couch.

    << <i>Dang gumby, fine work. That is indeed a Big Dogs shirt in the photo. And maybe that's Gary's arm and not a pink furry couch. >>



    Yep, that's his arm, his black shirt, his tan pants and the inexpensive wood desk in the background with the briefcase on it seals the deal.

    Edited to add...and the table the case is sitting on makes it sort of obvious, as well. image

  • nam812nam812 Posts: 10,601 ✭✭✭✭✭


    << <i>So then, why the f did you give me the link

    Because you asked "can someone give the background on Gary ?"

    I can show the horse where the water is, but after that he's on his own.

    You asked for information and I gave it to you. Then just minutes later asked me why I gave it to you.

    I haven't taken offense to anything you've typed yet, I just don't care whether you read the thread I linked or not. Also, you marrying the wrong woman is a completely different issue.

    I'm just wondering why a guy who asked for info that was given to him and who by his own admission doesn't even like 75 minis has the most posts in this thread...
