1981 Carl Yastrzemski Cards
Topps # 110, Donruss #94, Fleer #221
Donruss #214, Fleer #638
A couple of extra cards for Yaz. The Topps card with him near the batting cage is a nice shot (is that Fisk in the background?)
1981 Mike Torrez Cards
Topps #525, Donruss #216, Fleer #233

The Fleer card is just terrible. He takes up one-sixth of the available space and he is not wearing a hat. If he was hot, perhaps he should have got a haircut. Another dugout shot by Topps, although better than most of them. In the Donruss card, at least the photographer had the good sense to use the flash...but he shouldn't have had the underwear in the background be removed.
1981 Dave Stapleton Cards
Topps #81, Donruss #544, Fleer #236

Yet another dugout shot from the lazy Topp's photographer. The Donruss card has a great shot of his back....if you are into those type of things. The Fleer card has a good posed swinging shot with the tip of the bat in focus as well as the two lonely fans in the stands. Prize goes to Fleer.
1981 Bob Stanley Cards
Topps #421, Donruss #456, Fleer #234
Bob Stanley's Baseball Reference Page
These are all bad looking cards. Bob Stanley kind of had that Lurch-look-alike syndrome, but these are just awful. It is too bad that the Topps card wasn't better centered, and cropped closer, it might have been passable. The Fleer card makes him look goofy and geeky. The Donruss card is of the standard traditional position for pitchers.

1959 Topps Red Sox Team Set ---The Movie
I have been busy the last few weeks: buying yet another house. Hopefully this will be the last one for a couple of decades. So to interrupt the triple play of cards, I give you a video I made a couple of years ago of my 1959 Topps Red Sox team set...
