Ike closes it with more leather. Good game!

Wow, thank you big time for sharing that article. I'll have to finish reading it after the game. I don't want to get too crazy with the card additions because I've already decided that there are certain things that should get an additional card, like Agee's second catch, Swoboda's most amazin catch of the series, the shoe polish incedent culminating with Clendenons HR. Weis's homer! Al deserves a shout out! (I did the same thing with the 2002 cards) That's not to say I won't do it. It's a great idea. I could also possibly pull off one of these type cards for Agee's play: OOO, Ike ends the game! Great catch. I can read it now

A dead hop and a fast Young equals a Met lead.

You can see in those shots how the ball went almost completely thru Agees webbing in the pocket of his glove. According to Tommie it got stuck there. So it almost went through his glove. Amazin'.

Look for a SS or a 1B on the free agent market. Early in the season the only player I thought for sure we should go for is that Choo Choo guy (Reds?). He no longer tops my list. What SS's are available? Jeter lololol. too funny. Laugh of the month there.

Byrd with another really nice catch. In a way Im just as excited over Byrd as I am Young. He has been so solid.

Ive been excited about Young since the minute he took the field for us and played as well as he did. Between him and Laggy, and maybe even Byrd, this changes the whole deal in the off season as to what we need to improve the team.

Two runs in the first and nothing since. This is getting oooooold.

Okay, the Agee 70 WS card. I may as well call this the Tommie Agee project. I like what I've done but I don't think its good enough for Tommie. This is what the actual 70 Topps card looks like. This is a detailed copy of the image used by Topps. I could colorize this and use it. This is the one I posted earlier and as you can see, its very close, but its not the same photo. And the colorized image I used is a close up crop of a bigger image, to make it look more like the actual card. My plan was to use the full image that I colorized back in '02. And it looks good. But still not good enough. All these photos capture the moment after the catch and really do not show how magnificent a catch it really was. Now this is a nice photo because it's already in color and it's not as widely circulated as the other ones. And I got to see what color the guys beyond the fence are wearing, which would have been nice for the 2002 colorization. But it's also a photo that depicts Agee a moment after the catch. If you want an image that really shows him about to catch the ball you either have to go to a video still or with this black and white photo, which I only ran into recently. It captures the catch like no other. So if I'm going to do Agee up right I think I have to colorize this last one and go with it. Still, I am open to suggestion. I know I'm a bit anal with graphics but when it comes to stuff like this I don't fight the perfectionist in me. It makes my stuff as good as it can be. So which photo do you guys think would best represent Tommie Agees first amazin' catch in game three, and why?

Master Young with the masterful catch gets us out of it. Very nice.

Yea, show em that arm Lagares!

Bases full O' Rocks and Mejia will get the hook.

Well, that ones outta the way. Keep your head in the game rook.

Wilmers first ever chance becomes his first ever error. Great.

awwww fk me, first batter for the Rockies after the delay goes yard. 2-2

Shit. That's scary. Home plate ump hit in the throat by a foul ball. He looks okay for the most part but will leave the game.

Oy, Ike. That may have come up a little on the 2nd hop contrary to Keiths beliefs. It costs us a run as the next Rock hits a sac fly, but a very nice DP ends it there.

Did I just see Gee and Harvey giving each other a titty twister?

Tulo not hurt enough, stays in. Mejia pitching a fine game so far. 1 hit, 7Ks, 1 BB in 4 innings. Wilmer pops out to left with a nice sliding catch by the Rocky guy.

Ike with a lucky bloop pop up seeing eye double. And Tulo might be hurt.

1983 Topps (aged), 1983 Topps (new), 1984 Topps. So wolf, for McReynolds you now need 86 and 87? OE: also, do you want any to be Padre borders?
