  • Local Legend = Childhood Cardboard King

    These days... Dave Stieb doesn't receive a lot of hobby love. During the 80's... it was a completely different story in my neck of the woods. He was a hometown favorite who attended my local high school and was one of the best pitchers during the decade.


    1980 Topps #77

    And in my neighborhood... this card was on everyone's wantlist. Out of all of my friends... there was one copy and it flip-flopped between several of our houses over the years.

    I have no idea who ended up with the card... or if they ended up holding onto it. Regardless... I'm just glad that I have a copy for my collection.

    It's off-centered. It has soft corners. And the edges aren't much better. But does condition really matter when it comes to sentimental value? No in my book.

    Happy Monday and sayonara!
