it's a special friday night post here, as i have the perfect card for today:
that's a sepia parallel of a 2008 topps triple threads triple relic combo card, featuring reggie jackson, steve garvey, and willie randolph. the particular connection here is the 1981 world series, although these three faced off in the 1977 and 1978 fall classics, too, and the fact that there are two yankees to one dodger on the card makes me a bit surprised that the card celebrates the series that the dodgers won.
as a sepia parallel, it's numbered to 27, and my card happens to be number 10, so it's an october 27 card - as i said it's the perfect card for today. there was no world series game on 10/27/81, but the next night, the dodgers beat the yankees in game 6 to claim the title, the first in my lifetime for the blue.
Ooh, this one looks like it was expensive. Like you said, the ratio is a bit odd here, but maybe they thought two Yankees would make the card more desirable.
