“ I love Tom Seaver, but his Reds years were NOT "the legendary years" this card speaks of. ” -hiflew

“ Nice Chrome looking card. It has the pennant element of the 1965 design, back reminds me of one of the late 1960s Football designs. Odd seeing Seaver as a Red I think of him mostly as a Met. ” -captkirk42

“ At first glance I always think it's one of those sets that Upper Deck made imitating Topps vintage but no, its better than that. (Excluding the green on the back.) ” -TwinKiller

“ I like this card and Tom Seaver was a great pitcher. What bugs me is the overabundance of cards for retired players. I spoke about this recently on a Pedro Martinez card but this is something I just looked at. Tom Seaver had approximately 550 cards up until the 1987 sets which marked his retirement. Since his retirement there have been over 5,400 cards made of him. 2005, the year of this card, according to this website 967 cards were made of him. They made more than 400 more cards that year, then he had during the entirety of his playing career. ” -davidhandberry

  I was a Pirate fan in the early '70's.  Tom Seaver owned the Bucs.  Great respect for him.  One of the all time greats, for sure.

Would've been better had they used a picture of him on the Mets since by this point he was already in the HOF (as a Met) .
