Another fun stats card, Killebrew lead the AL in 1969 with 140 RBI’s. What a beast!!

1955 Topps #164, Roberto Clemente ⭐
1955 Topps #123, Sandy Koufax ⭐
1955 Topps #124, Harmon Killebrew ⭐
The three biggest RCs in the classic 1955 Topps baseball card set.

One of my first ever vintage focused collections was Harmon Killebrew. Growing up outside of Washington, DC as a kid, I had to root for the O’s up the road. Only time I ever saw a game at RFK was when the O’s would play exhibition games before the start of the season.

So, I wanted to collect what was then one of the greats that had played in DC during a tenure of a MLB team, before up and moving either to Minnesota or Texas.

I got this card 25 years ago for $100. (I have always kept track of all my spending) I still snag Killebrew cards to this day. Mr MLB Logoman!

I always imagined that if you were a kid in 1962, how cool it must of been to pull this card!? Maris breaking Ruth’s record on a stat cardboard rectangle. And the other 3 legends with him!
