Nice, I just recently added this card to my collection. It was the last card I needed to complete my Topps Roseboro collection.

Ah, back when men were men and baseball cards were baseball cards. Just a player, his mitt, an unnatural pose and real baseball stuff behind him. Those were the days! ------------------------------- -Rick ⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾

This is a great card! Believe it was one of my earliest pack pulls, back in the early 1970's, when I began buying packs and collecting Baseball Cards. Gonna check my Inventory to make sure I still have this card, among my 80,000+ cards!! Yours in The Hobby - Felix ------------------------------- FAMDaddy
