What is your favorite card from that set? I don't have the complete 68 but a few scattered in random boxes in top loaders here and there.

give me all of your cards of the Wizard

Then you would appreciate these no doubt. 1968 and 1975 Topps Bob Gibson cards. I have had these in my PC since elementary school.

I have a bunch of his cards. The best, however, is his rookie with the Padres in 79. That card in a high PSA grade is worth a good amount of money too. One of my favorites of all time. Had to run upstairs and snatch this one from the late 70s box.

what's the grade?

 

[volfanbill]

RIP Garrett Anderson. That's awful to see

 

[PEPPERJAX]

what's the grade?

That one is ungraded but if I had to guess probably anywhere between 6-7 maybe. I have seen a few of his graded rookies in shops at grades 6.5 to 7 and the one I have looks pretty similar or slight step below. Either way, I will be happy one day when I get around to sending off for grading because I found that card in flea market in the early 90s for two bucks. The problem with the 1979 topps cards is that they were notoriously bad for centering. There are only 5 psa 10s in existence for the topps version while the o pee chee is even more scarce with only two. The last psa sale that I saw for a grade 10 went for 77K. Pretty sure IIRC that the highest sale was over 200 grand.

Cardinals trading Garry Templeton for Ozzie was a very happy moment for me.

[volfanbill]

Every team in the NL Central (5 teams for those of you that come here breaking the theme of the thread title) has a winning record. Only 4 total teams in all of the AL have a winning record

Ozzie has found his swing again for the Braves. Phillies sweep confirmed.
