1970 Kellogg's #33, Rich Allen ⭐ Hall of Famer
On March 28, 1978, the Oakland A's released veteran first baseman and future HOFer Dick Allen, ending his 15-year career.
He played for 5 different MLB teams during his career (Phillies, Cardinals, White Sox, Dodgers, A's).
He was a seven-time All-Star, most notably with the Phillies, and won the 1972 American League MVP with the Chicago White Sox.

Special thanks to Tom Orr for assisting with this IP auto. I am a HUGE fan of getting Topps Throwback Thursdays signed.

Even for guys I have multiple times, I can't pass up Topps Dynamic Duals. Just completed with Fingers.

Steve "Lefty" Carlton ⭐ Phillies Great
Growing up a Bucs fan gave me ample opportunity to admire the prowess of Steve "Lefty" Carlton.
He was one of the best pitchers of all time and a Pirates nemesis.
He could hit too.
As a sign of the respect I have for "Lefty" I keep signed ball and card display in my house.

2006 Topps Triple Threads Relics Auto ⭐ Chase Utley, RBI, #2/18
Chase Utley is widely regarded as both a great baseball player and a person of tremendous character.
On the field, Utley was an elite all-around second baseman: a perennial All-Star, Silver Slugger winner, Gold Glove–caliber defender, and a central figure in the Phillies’ 2008 World Series championship. Advanced metrics consistently rank him among the best second basemen in MLB history, combining power, patience, defense, and baserunning.
Off the field, Utley is known for professionalism, work ethic, humility, and respect for the game. He is deeply involved in charitable work, especially in helping underprivileged children and child educational causes through his Chase Utley Foundation.
Chase Utley is a serious contender for enshrinement in Cooperstown.
