Acquired my first 1953 @Topps card in mid-1970s. So if you average 6 cards a year, you can complete this 274-card set in less than half a century. https://t.co/Nf3ZZl9ZSr — PolitiTweet.org

Acquired my first 1953 @Topps card around 1974. So if you average 6 cards a year, you can complete this 274-card set in less than half a century. https://t.co/6rduerMbLP — PolitiTweet.org

Just the high numbers — toughest part of the 1953 @Topps set. https://t.co/6BUEOrVuB3 — PolitiTweet.org

@PolyesterUnis @NewEraCap @MLB @HatClub I’m on the ‘77 bandwagon. Brewers ball-in-glove logo debuted ‘78. — PolitiTweet.org

@PostWarCards Nice! Make them into a Carpet o’ Cards. — PolitiTweet.org

@nightowlcards @mroctober @SABRbbcards @PostWarCards @CardboardHistry @70sBaseball Same. Always rooted against him but he was a fascinating, larger-than-life presence and you had to respect the way he responded in the big moments. — PolitiTweet.org

@RoseOmar52 @SABRbbcards @mroctober @nightowlcards @PostWarCards @CardboardHistry @70sBaseball @Topps Yes! Down the third base line in Memorial Stadium. Competed with Earl Weaver (and others?) to grow the best tomato plants. — PolitiTweet.org

@vossbrink @SABRbbcards @mroctober @nightowlcards @PostWarCards @CardboardHistry @70sBaseball You get it. And I no longer have my Fleer & Donruss sets from the era. — PolitiTweet.org

@RoseOmar52 @SABRbbcards @mroctober @nightowlcards @PostWarCards @CardboardHistry @70sBaseball Here he is on the 1977 @Topps Orioles team card next to legendary trainer Ralph Salvon. https://t.co/dgByu4uzu9 — PolitiTweet.org

Carpet o’ Cards: @mroctober Reggie Jackson so dominated the #WorldSeries they named a month after him. Five rings in seven years, 1972-78. @SABRbbcards @nightowlcards @PostWarCards @CardboardHistry @70sBaseball https://t.co/dh5uzB4OZ2 — PolitiTweet.org

@AndyNY2 @MOReilly_58 What is the blurred object circled in red? And when did the AL stop allowing trophy displays in the infield? https://t.co/vyjshPkYwI — PolitiTweet.org

@kurtblumenau Plausible. I thought it looked like a road uniform but maybe there are pinstripes. — PolitiTweet.org

Some home plate drama. Why is someone else wearing shin guards behind Didier? https://t.co/nyxwYVEMZI — PolitiTweet.org

@RFL630 @Topps @SABRbbcards @nightowlcards @CardboardHistry @PostWarCards @VintageCardsOn1 Between the ‘Stick and Oakland, some Bay Area-freelancer did well in 1972 and 1973. — PolitiTweet.org

@MOReilly_58 I remember spending a lot of time analyzing those cards. — PolitiTweet.org

@nyctaper @Topps @SABRbbcards @nightowlcards @CardboardHistry @PostWarCards @VintageCardsOn1 I also disliked the 1973 set from the first pack I opened in 3rd grade. Thought it was huge letdown from 1972. But so many people love it (and so many dislike 1972). No accounting for taste I guess. — PolitiTweet.org

A look back at the 52 action photos in 1971 @Topps and the 72 In Action cards of 1972. https://t.co/z7Sev3eYXc — PolitiTweet.org

George Bennett @gbennettpost

Some pretty cool photos as well. Maybe the batter is too prominent in the foreground of the Vida Blue card, but I’ve always liked the photo for some reason. https://t.co/KGL9qdl19c — PolitiTweet.org

George Bennett @gbennettpost

Some far-away shots and other odd choices. https://t.co/loQDEdcV5b — PolitiTweet.org

First use of airbrushing on action photos, from removing “Dodgers” from Frank Robinson’s jersey to fabricating entire uniforms. https://t.co/7QXrHrT9VG — PolitiTweet.org

Thirteen @baseball members among the 1973 action shots, including Roberto Clemente’s posthumous card. https://t.co/wPrzwY0hDh — PolitiTweet.org

George Bennett @gbennettpost

Carpet o’ Cards: After introducing 52 action shots in 1971 set & 72 in 1972, @Topps featured 100 action or candid photos in 1973 w some spectacular hits & misses. @SABRbbcards @nightowlcards @CardboardHistry @PostWarCards @VintageCardsOn1 https://t.co/d2vAtdKfEr — PolitiTweet.org
