i am a big fan of my davey lopes post-dodger collection

i collect any card featuring davey lopes, regardless of the uniform, and the fun really started when he became a coach.

the second baseman of my youth came up as a 27-year old with the 1972 dodgers. he played with them through the 1981 season before suiting up as an athletic, then a cub, and finally an astro.  immediately following his playing career, lopes began coaching with the rangers (resulting in the 1993 keebler rangers card up top).

from there, lopes coached for the orioles and then the padres, in time to be featured on some great stadium giveaway cards like this 1998 mother's cookies padres coaches card

he then went on to manage the brewers, who are known to have regional giveaway sets of their own.  this one is a 2000 brewers police card

which is strange because it references the regional sports network instead of a police department.  thankfully, here's a 2001 brewers police card

that does mention the waukesha police department (and a lcs, perhaps?).

after he was fired by the brewers, lopes returned to coaching and had a second stint with the padres (captured on this 2003 keebler padres card

(that's a lot of coaches, by the way).  lopes also coached for the nationals, phillies, dodgers, and then the nationals again before retiring after the 2017 season.  i was really pleased to see him show up in the background of a 2018 stadium club card, but disappointed that he won't be around to make an appearance on a 2022 topps heritage manager/coaches card.

just for kicks, here is a 1987 astros police card

from lopes' playing days.  lopes spent 45 years at the big league level as a player, coach, and manager, so there are plenty of cards for me to collect.  here's the list in case you can help!
