He only spent the previous 3 seasons playing for the Mets. You'd have thought that since Topps took 90% of their photos @ Shea they could have taken 1 or two new one's of St. Joe instead of breaking out the crayolas ?<br /><br />Here's the link to the card if you haven't seen it: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W2Ncx2XIww4/Smp_aQ9-RcI/AAAAAAAACuE/8PZoL9ZyY4U/s320/ft_1978_topps_torre.JPGdistantreplay.orghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12660038146911657598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11386152.post-28923983839621001932010-02-03T16:27:51.674-05:002010-02-03T16:27:51.674-05:00First of all who are you?

Wills wasn't in a card until 1967, which was eight years after his rookie season. Tek didn't make a Topps card till 2007, 9 years after his debut (although he was in a 1992 Traded card as a draft pick).<br /><br />YKWAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11386152.post-1516464616283987432010-01-30T20:35:35.205-05:002010-01-30T20:35:35.205-05:00Cool story, Rob!Cool story, Rob!Mets Guy in Michiganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04048899230969074579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11386152.post-1492962014997383062010-01-30T17:39:44.469-05:002010-01-30T17:39:44.469-05:00There's a Phil Hennigan card out there somewhe...There's a Phil Hennigan card out there somewhere autographed.
