3 Cards that did not make the cut

by delias man on Nov 4, 2010 4:51 PM PDT

This one was a close call. Chuck Dressen was the Dodgers Manager from 1951 to 1953. I like the card so much because he has the lineup on the chalkboard in the background. I imagine there is no chalkboard in the clubhouse today.

Great card, but I want one in a higher grade, so it does not make my Top 25. A PSA 9 sells for $900-1000 USD. Out of my price range for just one card at this time. The black borders make these cards extremely expensive in high grade because they are so easily damaged. Steve looks so young and clean cut there. Very hairy arms too.

This was another close call. A certain WAL is dragging the card down, or else it would be in my top 10. Good luck ever finding a Nomo autograph, nevermind a Nomo autograph in Dodger gear. Serial numbered 22 of 33. Fleer almost hit a grand slam here.

I love that Dressen card

A very cool photo / drawing.

I have that 1971 Topps card, but it’s all beat up. That card looks in amazing condition.

Gibby a WAL

I love the Garvey card.

I love that Garvey was still a 3B on that card

I have that card in POS condition.

The Dodgers do have a whiteboard in the clubhouse though.

Nice

but I don’t get the designation “Draft Edition”. Only one of those guys was drafted by the Dodgers.

Looks like it just had the current draftee, with ex-players associated with the team, whether they were drafted by them or not.

I guess

previous hot prospects, Dreifort and Stubbs, weren’t available to sign.

The name of the set was Fleer Hot Prospects Draft Edition
