There's a monster behind you!

by TwinKiller - 46 cards (Last updated on Aug 6, 2022)

Cards that feature players standing in front or showing the Fenway Park's famous Green Monster. It has to have a good part of the card showing it.

1. 1991 Topps #530 Roger Clemens

Arguably the most famous Monster card of all time.

I couldn't find an image that wasn't crooked. I might just have to scan the one I own.

Suggestions welcome/wanted! Preferably not the same image used on multiple cards. I'm going to see how many players we can get, so new players are even better. Bonus points for players who aren't on the Red Sox.

No bonus points, but found a couple of red sox that qualify for the list

This one's probably more like "There's a monster in front of you!" but it should still work.

Let me know if you don't know how to get the back image to show on the User List.

Thanks for all the suggestions! BDillman, that looks more like CF to me. Kep75, I added the other Green Monster just because it looks cool, but the Ortiz looks to be more of a wide shot of Fenway. I might have to make an acception and put a Wally card in here... C2C I got it but the image is all crooked. What difference does it make.

Can an exception be made for Wally the Green Monster with the Green Monster?

https://www.tcdb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/108133/cid/7491553/2015-Topps-Opening-Day---Mascots-M-04-Wally-the-Green-Monster

This set has the Green Monster as the background for the cards:

You're correct. Apparently, Fleer loved using the Green Monster as a background for more than just Red Sox players.

CAD, I added the 2, (love the Wally card!) but not the set, as thats just more of a wide shot of Fenway, that just includes the monster. Same with that Fernandez you suggested C2, seemed more of a wide shot. Thanks everybody for your suggestions!
