Card of the Week:
Oscar Gamble 1975 Topps #213
There are so many reasons why I love the 1975 Topps Oscar Gamble and they are as follows:
- A meticulously separated and trimmed ‘stache is the key to success on the field and Oscar has one on lock.
- With another bent and mangled cap bill, you know Oscar consistently doesn’t mess around.
- Oscar doesn’t play with scissors, steer clear of the bear that lives under there.
- Oscar’s such a daredevil, he only needs one glove.
- That’s not the old and retired ‘C’ for Cleveland on his hat, but a personalized ‘O’ for Oscar. When you’re this good, the cap wears you.
- What centering ratio is that? 90/10?
Question of the Day:
What are your thoughts on Topps re-introducing vintage designs? Love it, Hate it, Impartial?

Love the new vintage-style cards. Too bad there aren’t a lot of goofy looking guys on cards these days. Most of the pictures on cards are all action with no cheesy stances and poses.
Keep your eyes out, there’s bound to be a few goofy looking doods in the modern era.
It’s not the ’75 Traded card, but I really like it. I’ve got them both, plus a lot more Oscar right here:

The ’76 card is my favorite Oscar Gamble card. Thanks for reading and commenting.
