First, I was like wow, 800 of one card, 1977 Topps Tommy John! Curious to know who the seller was, I clicked and noticed it was kruk cards so no surprise that they would have a lot like this. Then I was shocked to see they have TEN lots! That's 8000 of one card available! DANG! lol

WOW! That's crazy.

carrying that many Tommy John's around could cause an elbow injury.

Somebody should buy them all and have a public burning. Then whats left out there
will have more value!!

This would be a perfect time to start a Tommy John Collection.

ClockworkAngel

Someone should alert Dr. Frank Jobe I imagine he might be a buyer

That is way too many Tommy John's for one person to have.

And then, of course, there's the irony of having to get Tommy John surgery to repair the damage.

I call a group rip. We all go in on this, get a few hundred each, then proceed to rip them once we receive them!

handyman

what about this.
Just stick them in the corner of your closet for a rainy day bust.
Or you could build a house out of them.

I can picture the conversation back in 1988. HER: "You bought what??!!" HIM: "Don't worry honey, when Tommy John reaches 300 wins next year he'll be a sure fire HOFer. This is money in the bank!"

Exodus

There may someone here who would like to decorate his bar with those Tommy's.

funny stuff - this takes the term Man-crush to a whole new level

If you're gonna build 8,000 '77 Topps sets, you're gonna need 8000 '77 Topps Tommy Johns.

Itzagoner, you post some of the funniest stuff. I love it.

The ironic thing is I was a big Tommy John collector in the 80s. He was a player that I happened to have most of his cards through his career. So I made it a goal to complete a Tommy John set (basic set in today's terminology). I sold my off condition 1961 Mantle and Maris cards along with a low grade 1956 Duke Snider so I could buy the 1967 Tommy John. I also used to always request Tri Star to bring him out to CA when they'd ask which autograph guest I'd like to see. They finally did so about 10 years ago. I'll have to dig up the picture of the signing and post it here. I followed his career near the end because it was amazing to me how he could toss slow curves up there and still get people out. I was really rooting for him to get to 300 wins so my collection would be worth a million dollars. LOL

MintMoondog

well...I just checked my main 1977 psa set and realized that of the 7 cards I still need Tommy is one of them!
So I bought an 800 ct box, hopefully there is a 9 or 2 in there

Interesting - I forgot about his slooow curve. I wonder who would have won a race to the plate T. John or Frank Tanana in his later years. It was the same thing with Tanana after he blew out his arm, I would always wonder how he actually got guys out or struck out guys by surprising them with his 81 MPH "fastball"
