Show and Tell #42: Sox From Thoughts and Sox

I've got to say I was surprised to received these four 1971 Topps cards from Adam of Thoughts and Sox because getting rid of vintage Red Sox [even if they are doubles] must be difficult.

1971 Topps #498 John Kennedy

I wonder what it was like not only playing for the Red Sox but also to have the name of one of the most famous people from Massachusetts.


1971 Topps #409 Don Pavletich


1971 Topps #512 Dick Mills/Mike Garman Rookie Stars


1971 Topps #577 Jim Longborg

Thanks Adam and there are some Red Sox headed back your way.

Not only did John Kennedy play in Boston in 1971, but he was in Washington DC from 1962-64, playing for the Senators.

Talk about being in a big shadow!

Dick Mills is sporting the always classy windbreaker under the jersey look. Bring it back!

And I dig the long sleeve shirt under the jersey. No Under Armor here, boys.

Yes Rhubarb - These came out of the stack you gave me. I figured why let a few could sit in double box purgatory when they could be distributed amongst bloggers that wanted them.

(I also sent two of them to another blogger with a 71 Topps collection. Waiting to see when he gets around to posting them)
