That is an awful look. I can't stomach the black uniforms for teams that don't use black as their #1 color (see Eagles, Ravens, Cardinals, now the 49ers and any other teams that do this). And this is coming from a guy who actually likes the Buccaneers new uniforms. In other words, I can deal with fu...

Mike Tanier's book "A Good Walkthrough Spoiled" has extensive info on the strike.

Topps had some issues with MacArthur Lane cards. https://sp.yimg.com/ib/th?id=JN.c3RqoOvpmo6yXEuxKMXwiQ&pid=15.1&P=0 This one I actually like. His left ear was green that season. Also, the back has a tremendous cartoon on it. **** https://sp.yimg.com/ib/th?id=JN.Jj1%2biM19shbNn2C1Sitkng&...

These are probably my two favorite cards. https://sp.yimg.com/ib/th?id=JN.mp7IYu35fndexELeiB9xqw&pid=15.1&P=0 I love the 1981 Topps set in general and I thought this was an excellent action shot. **** https://sp.yimg.com/ib/th?id=JN.9xR4Qi51SPZsA00L9Mu7nw&pid=15.1&P=0 Erik McMillan w...

For a long time, I thought somebody who owned this card before me had defaced it by coloring the Chargers pants lightning bolt. Years later an internet search revealed Topps did it.

This one has some issues with the airbrushing. The two Rams helmets on the left are the problem. Topps didn't bother with the Ram on the right.

Rae did play for the Bucs in 1980 but was released during the season and didn't play in the Detroit game at the Silverdome. I wonder if this photo is from the 1978...

There is a Torry Holt card (2010 Topps, I think; cannot find a photo online) that shows him in game action wearing a Patriots uniform in a Titans vs Jaguars game.

Ironically, I have had absolutely no trouble viewing the forum after being insulted off the board and vowing not to post again. Prior to that time, it was hit or miss as to whether I'd gain access. I refuse to excessively fight at THIS forum. I need not always "win" or get the last word. S...

No problem. I will cease to post here. Sorry for the problems.
