1908 Pittsburgh Pirates.......Cleaned up version from a much earlier post by bmarlowe

Merkle923 · 10-11-2014, 12:52 PM

Topps Vault tends to post these guys alphabetically - this latest run has an unusually large number of really short-termers.

We begin with Bob Ferris, who pitched seven times for the 1979-80 Angels

This is Ed Ricks - one of those Zombie guys - recalled by the Yankees in 1977 for a week, sent back without getting into a game, then off to the White Sox and not play there, either. Makes Moonlight Graham look Pension-eligible

Merkle923 · 10-11-2014, 12:57 PM

Technically he doesn't belong here but let's give him at least THIS!

Merkle923 · 10-11-2014, 01:00 PM

...is the elusive Mark Williams, who spent about a week in the outfield of the 1977 A's

The comment about Moonlight Graham made me laugh! Thanks for getting my day started right!

Merkle923 · 10-11-2014, 01:25 PM

One of the countless '60s guys who were forced onto major league rosters long before they were ready because of the "First-Year Player Rule."

Two stints with the '65 Astros. Four at bats. Four strikeouts.

Merkle923 · 10-11-2014, 01:28 PM

Cameos with the Tigers in '65 and '69 and about six years as one of their "top prospects." One walk, one run, no hits.

Merkle923 · 10-11-2014, 01:31 PM

...has guys photographed so young they are barely recognizable. This'd be a skinny Rick Reuschel circa 1971

Merkle923 · 10-11-2014, 01:34 PM

Paul Reuschel, the reliever..

Only the sideburns suggest this isn't a high school picture

Merkle923 · 10-11-2014, 01:42 PM

Not only an eight-game pitcher with the White Sox but the father of a two-game pitcher from the Rockies of the same name.

I would like to know who these three gents are from the recent Topps Vault group. Thanks in advance.

Alan Wirth, drafted by Giants 1974, played with A's 78-80

Joe Wallis, Cubs 75-78

Jim Redmon, ChiSox minors 68-74

And by the way, I would like to know who is this Oriole rightie?

brobby05 · 10-12-2014, 07:39 AM

It could be Paul Hartzell from 1980. The Varsity numbers with white paneled cap would be from 1975-1981. He was also a rightie. He's the only one with 28 that was a pitcher in that time period. The others were Tom Shopay and Jim Dwyer and they didn't pitch. Here's a little photo of earlier days.

About the Topps Vault:
The only way I know to obtain images from this chest of wonders is via their e-Bay store, and all images there are identified. Is there another method by which they release images, where identities are not made known (I ask because of the frequent requests here to ID some players in Vault images)? Also, I check the Vault frequently, but a number of images I've seen here I don't recall having seen there. So, is there some other way they release images?
Also - maybe this isn't the right place, but could someone please explain all the possible proof variations available for typical cards of the 70s-80s? Has Topps ever published a list of the, I don't know, 10 different possible variations of a 1978 card? Just when I think I have a handle on it, I see something called a slick proof...what the heck is that?
Thanks!

Thanks, but....egad! This is going to take a while to sift through!

Merkle923 · 10-12-2014, 03:09 PM

Actually the Oriole RHP IS Andy Replogle from the spring of '78. As I mentioned above the images tend to be posted in rough alphabetical order and this is amid the Redmonds and Renicks.
