This unlicensed Canadian ‘72 Pro Star set has some great photography - the Dominican Dandy may have been the best NL pitcher in a pitcher’s era…

1972 Pro Star Promotions, Tim Foli.
Tim Foli, nicknamed “Crazy Horse,” was a fiery shortstop known for his intensity, steady defense, and clutch hitting over a 16-year Major League career. He played a key role in the Pittsburgh Pirates’ 1979 World Series championship, batting .333 in the Fall Classic and providing leadership on the field.
He started his MLB career with the New York Mets, debuting on September 11, 1970, as a 19-year-old and was traded to the Montreal Expos in 1971.

1972 Pro Star Promotions, Roberto Clemente. 🍁Canadian Issue.
This is one of my favorite Clemente oddball pieces.
The 1972 Pro Star Promotions baseball cards are a Canadian-issued set noted for their large size, vivid color photography, and unique player poses. Most of the images were taken at Montreal’s Jarry Park. Produced without MLB licensing, the cards avoid team logos but capture a striking variety of action and candid shots, giving them a distinctive visual charm. Roberto Clemente’s pose, kneeling in the on-deck circle, is magnificent IMO. The back is blank.
