Black & Red is always a good combo. The 'REDS' emblazoned across the top could benefit from a little shrinkage, but such is life. There are some great photos (Tony Perez, Bo Diaz) and not so many posed shots that it upsets me. Plus a healthy pile of Pete Effing Rose. Nine cards of the newly-crowned hit king. Sweet. Oh wait, there was another Reds record breaker? Tony Perez became the oldest player ever to hit a grand slam? Well OK!
Also of note, people on eBay who are sure to point out that the first Pete Rose tribute card has a "1963 Topps Pete Rose RC" in the title can go to hell.
