The shorts were high, as were most of the players. Only card missing from this small but mighty set was a Freddie "Boom Boom" Washington rookie. The NBA was in the final trimester of it's gestation, ready to take the game to world dominance.

Sure, his motto very well could be "No Sleep 'til Syracuse", but he was born in Brooklyn, NY.  His passion for sports and the hobby is evident and on display. Join me as I remove the screw-down that encases John Newman.

Free collectibles in a (relatively) nearly free era of long stretching lead-filled gasoline. Sunoco billed them as " NFL Action '72".   Who'd of thought going to the gas station would be so rewarding? The NFL's biggest set to date made interior linemen great again. Plus....Dad facts drops a straight up (Nerf) bomb.

Henry Louis "Porkchop" Aaron did it all on the field. A consistent accumulator of lofty statistics and a hobby favorite without creating one stitch of controversy. He was, as I will say til my dying , the greatest hitter in my lifetime.

The Old Grey Lady of 33rd Street is featured in this week's episode. Baltimore's very own Memorial Stadium is perhaps the most beloved acreage in "Ballmer's" history. They laughed, they cried (1988)...this place saw it all.

Hats off to Jackie Robinson in Episode 42. Gone 50 years ago this year after having broken the color barrier 25 years previously.  A nod to Upper Deck for their attempt to recapture the delightful 1970's in their 2001 issue.

Imagine a set with Babe Ruth, Michael Jordan, Tom Brady, and The Mighty Ducks all at their peak. Well, this isn't quite that but it does have star power to match that on the world stage. Encouraging the youth of Britannia to debauch their cards in 1979 is like engaging in a land war in Asia.

It's 1972 and Fritz and Mike decide to get freaky. A real life Bob&Carol&Ted&Alice. Fritz's career eventually went on the fritz and Mike ended up in Japan. Only in the '70s would something like this go down, right?

I was so unimpressed with the number 39 that I skipped right into Episode 40. I don't like Pepsi in particular  but I certainly love Love LOVE food issues. I also love 1970's baseball. I really love Mike Schmidt and Reggie Jackson so I should've saved this one for Valentine's Day.
