Baseball Primer Newsblog — The Best News Links from the Baseball Newsstand Wednesday, September 30, 2009Markusen: Card Corner: Roberto ClementeShould Topps have produced the 1973 Clemente card? For my money...they should have junk-dumped the whole strabismustingly dull set. Why, why...you’d have to be a total Breazealot to love them!

I was given a giant box of '73 Topps when I was a kid and I put together a set out of it so I have a soft spot for it. There were a lot of good pitchers in 1972 is what I learned from it.
Many years ago I ordered a complete '73 Topps set from a company (cough..gurgle...renatagalasso...hurl mega-Oreo soup splash) that turned out to be an O-Pee-Chee set that looked like the card cuts were made by Richard Cottingham on another Jersey shore torso gutting extravagansi!
So...this might have something to do with my dislike of the set.
O-Pee-Chee's were rare and exotic when I was a kid. They would pop up mysteriously and beguile my friends and I with its weird texture and indecipherable French...
I hated the 1971 set, those black borders chipped and flaked off like crazy.
Gimmie the clean lines of 1967, now that's a baseball card!
repoz - renata galasso was always selling stuff...what ever happened to them?
The colored silhouettes of the player's position on the front of the card made them ideal for matching when flipping.
Also, the set had loads of action shots, far more than Topps had ever before done.
The one drawback to the set, however, involved some of those same action shots. Some of them were photographed from so far away that it seemed like the cameraman was situated in the parking lot across the street from the ballpark.
