Nice to see a mid 70s card as there have only been a couple out of the Santa Lot so far. May not be a set or team, or player I collect, but I can appreciate the age of the card, even with some rounded corners.

Unfortunately, tjis is the back of the card. So this is a bit extensive and I will not be keeping it (another card for my son). A disappointment, but hey - can't win them all.

I was never into Pogs, but seeing more of these (I think we saw just one before), I like them for their oddballiness - if that is a word. Not much you can put on a little Pog, but I like the use for a full head or mostly body shot - decent photography considering.

I wanted to ensure the rounding corner on the Gold Medallion 2004-05 Ultra basketball was clearly seen. An interesting look for the cards which kinda works, though they are a bit hard to grab in a "pack" similar to the Pogs (but not that bad). Crittenton is another I didn't have have from the 2007-08 Topps variation set, though too bad the corner is a bit banged - might luck out with another one though - still plenty to get through!

Cards of defunct teams like the Rockies are always novel in my opinion - it's like seeing a forgotten relative you haven't seen in years. Also, as a child of the 90's, I had myself a fair share of Pogs (I even had a custom pog maker; however, I wasn't lucky enough to happen upon any of those gems.
ReplyDeleteI had some pogs back in the 90s too, but they did not survive...I remember Alf and Garfield ones, but I know I had others too...
