About This Card
Out of all of the designs for the 1970's Topps cards, the 1973 design is the simplest. Simply: black outline to frame the photograph with player name, team, position and the player icon related to that position. One of my challenges in create this blog was to develop a design in homage of the 1973 set.
ool card of Jim. I think pitched against the A's in the 72' series. Nice blog
