Now that Topps has finally brought the public up to speed on their countdown of their greatest cards of all-time as voted on by the collecting public, this morning, they announced which card took in the 45th most votes.
Card #45 is...
(drumroll please)
1987 Topps #366 Mark McGwire.
Thoughts: I'm not surprised that this card made the Top 60. I would have ranked it a bit higher, especially because of how hot this card was in the late 90's-early 2000's (this and the card I voted for, the 1985 McGwire Team USA) card. Look how green the uniform is, and the name plate. It's a nice fluorescent shade of green don't you think???
Beckett has this listed between $1.50-$4.00.
Card #44 on the countdown will be announced tomorrow.

I love comments. Please leave comments!!! (Ego, hush). Just keep your words clean (I show my kids this stuff), and the comment will be accepted.
If you must leave a comment anonymously, that's fine too. Although I wish you wouldn't. I'd like to get to know the people who actually read this humble little blog.
Thank you very much.

I think the green color is because Topps has bad scanners. My card is not nearly that intense. Look how bad the scanning was for the million card giveaway, the colors were horribly inaccurate.
