As the playoff race is nearing its end in baseball I am going with Fisk from my fav team the Red Sox’s. This is his second year card but like many of 70s sets rookie card was shared with others so like the solo card.

One of the best catchers in MLB history, and for sure one of the more memorable HRs in the annals of baseball. I have Fisk in my top 10 and maybe top 5 catchers of all-time. This rookie is in mid-grade. In person, when I met him in the early 90’s at spring training, he wasn’t super friendly….but maybe he just had a bad day! I feel like the ‘72 Topps set design gets overlooked, but the retro style has been growing on me and I need to pick up a few from the set!
