I just bought the Ermsy Dock Ellis. Not only is it a cool looking card but I figured when has Topps even officially released a card that is directly referencing drugs? It's great lol

We complain about the bots. Topps does several things about the bots. We complain about the things Topps does to curb the bots. So it goes.

Really horrible today (Aaron is nice, but tired of blue skies). I really felt the need for a third Lasorda card. Keep them rolling!

I guess the Rollie was implying drugs; the Dock is straight up celebrating them.

This is the Lasorda moment that needs to be immortalized.

The battle with the Expos mascot would also suffice.

Are those names relevant to The Hobby?

Many pages ago, I put together a long list off the top of my head. This is just sad.

I wonder if each participant that selected Lasorda (probably first manager on Topps' list of collectible players, for better or worse), thought they would for sure be the only participant going off script with the selection of a manager.

Then, when the Cartoon dropped in the first week, 15 participants who all decided to do a Lasorda in an effort to be unique, thought to themselves "whoops"

And those cards were actually PRINTED in that innocent time before steroids tarnished everything baseball. And it's the OG Lasorda '88 Topps.

This is a bad "art card" any way you slice it.
Sam loves everything and that’s ok. I agree with you. It’s a terrible card.

Fans of Twins/Indians/Rangers and to a lesser extent Rockies/Marlins Diamondbacks/Rays feel almost the same.....

There are more Tommy Lasorda cards than 19 different teams including the Orioles (or 18 if you count the Scherzer as a Nationals card).

At some point that's just funny (and saving people real money).
