I received this recently from the Night Owl:
And he was right, it was like Mambo #5. A little bit of this and a little bit of that.
We will start with a high numbered Rich/Richie/Dick Allen from his brief one season residency with the Dodgers. This gives me 641 cards of the 752 card set which is 85.24%.

Along with a few other '10 Allen & Ginter was this David DeJesus card. The Royals unloaded DeJesus on the A's last week for two pitching prospects, Vin Mazzaro and Justin Marks. I imagine he will be replaced by a more expensive free agent who had a great season last year but will suffer a mind numbing slump next season.

The '81 Fleer sticker design is one of my favorites and when I'm done with the '71 set I might make a go of this set. Roy is also one of my favorite Twins. He retired after the 1987 World Series championship by the Twins.
A DK off the needs list. In a sort of weak version of my Everybody's Got A Record series, Al drove in the first run at Three Rivers Stadium and hit the last home run at Forbes Field.
I love these playing card baseball cards and it's sad that these sort of things won't be made in the immediate future unless they come from Topps.
