I can't wait until Topps sues them for all four dollars of their profit for using one of their cards on the cover without permission.

Wait a second, look at the Sandberg card. That's 1983 Topps, right?



yeah that's '83.

Ryno and Gwynn were the hot numbers in the '83 set.

Of course, Sandberg's TRUE Rookie Card is the 1982 Cubs/Red Lobster card, given away the same weekend they retired Banks' number, and had a great old-timers day.

I'd like to read that foreword by Pat Hughes, mostly just to see if the fifth paragraph was written by Cory Provus right before he left.

QuoteKasey's been a friend of mine for many years and it was of this list that an idea was born last spring. Last April, I read this review of a new book called "Mets By The Numbers", and, knowing of Kasey's exhaustive research into Cubs uniform numbers, thought, "We could do this for the Cubs!" I contacted Kasey and discovered he knew one of the MBTN authors, and in the matter of a few emails with Matt Silverman, the other MBTN author, we had a contract with Skyhorse Publishing for "Cubs By The Numbers".

Skyhorse certainly seems to have a broad portfolio.

Even TDubbs might enjoy this Wheezer post.

Provided someone explains the meaning of "portfolio" to him.

Is "Portfolio" a fancy Eye-talian way to say "Weinis?"

I like that the word "and" is bolded in the byline (is it still called a byline on book covers?), just in case there's any question about it.

I've never heard the term used.  It's of no particular use to the typesetter, and covers are just copy soup from an editorial perspective.

I think Wade Boggs was an 83 Topps rookie too.
