• Any special information about this specific card: Jackson's seventh regular Topps card (total includes both regular and traded cards only). A classic card in terms of its design and choice of photograph. The picture shows Darrin making contact with the ball during an afternoon game at Shea Stadium. The blurb on the back mentions that Darrin "missed a large segment of the season with hyperthyroidism, but returned to bat .333 in this last 10 games." His tenure with the Mets is brief, and soon afterwards, Jackson spent time in Japan before ending his career with the White Sox.
• Lo-Hi Beckett value: $0.02-$0.10.

Tomorrow's card will be: 2003 Topps Traded and Rookies #T170. Post will arrive at 1:00 PM CST. See you then.
