A new ranger in '89

Nolan Ryan stepped down as Rangers CEO this week. This '89 Topps Traded card was his first Topps card in a Rangers uniform (after coming over from Houston). He kinda looks like a future CEO. 

Little guy in the corner

This '76 Topps was before my time but managed its way into my collection at some point. I like the little animated outfielder in the lower left. And the photo of Parker looks a little like a painting. 

Gibson: a year before LA

'87 was Kirk Gibson's last year in Detroit. He already had a WS title with the Tigers, but was still a year away from heroics in LA. 

'83 Topps pops

For whatever reason, Rickey seemed to have a lot of good looking cards. I'm actually amazed at the ones I have. I didn't remember collecting him as much as I did. The color on this '83 Topps example is great. 

Times are Hough

Charlie gives us a view of his knuckleball release. 

Ultra

Fleer Ultra 1991 had a headshot and two action shots on the back. In many ways more compelling than the front. 

Fisk means business

Great shot of one intense dude.
