Iko really won it running away. Weak month for offense.

Big props on the cards, particuarly the Dillon Gee autograph.

Gee's 1975 picture is perfect. Ike's is almost perfect -- I don't remember that much visible dismay (or photographic clarity) in 1976, but otherwise the angle and framing are spectacular.

Dessens...reliever of the month honors really speak to volume, volume, volume!

The Davis card is spectacular!!! Is that a '76 Topps? I always get it confused with the '78s.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Michigan, it's a 1976. The 1978's looked like this:



(Although not every player had that deranged expression.)

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Ah, that's right. I never cared for the lettering on the 1978s. Actually, I didn't love either of those sets. The 72, 73, 74 and 77 sets were always my favorites.

Ike Davis, I wish you many more!

One of the hidden benefits of a "meaningless" stretch run is that we get to see a little shine on a few previously-unlit shoulders. I'm glad.

I usually prefer your cards with action shots, Grimmy-- a la that '78 Dickey-- but the Ike is pristine.

I dunno. The card's not centered and the top corners are dinged and rounded. It's not minty.

What he said. Not sure why that card grabs me more than the others. The year? The pose? I dunno.
Very kool looking card.
