Please, I Need Some Help


I am hoping someone can help me out. I am in need of a scan of the back of a 1980 Topps Richard Todd #405 card. I am working on a custom card based on his card for a future TTM attempt for an actor and the only backs I can find are small/pixelated or contain a COMC watermark.

You wouldn’t think that a mid-career card of an underperforming QB who had more interception than touchdowns and entire career is defined by him replacing two Hall of Fame QBs (Joe Namath in 1976 and Kenny Stabler in 1984) would cost $2 or more so I am hoping I do not have to spend that to just get a good scan of the back of his card.

A clean scan 700px x 500px or larger would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thank you

A Thank You And A Slippery Slope


 
Last week I received an email from a reader, Tom, regarding a Griffey card that he had and was wondering if I was interested in the card. It is a 1995 Tombstone Pizza card, which not only did I not have but I didn’t even know about it. I have the 1994 Tombstone Pizza card but didn’t know about the 1995 version.

I want to thank Tom for helping me with a card I needed, and I hope that you enjoy the cards that I sent your way.

 

Once I got the card the other day I began to wonder what else I either didn’t know about or forgot when I worked on my Griffey Want List (GWL for short). This is where the slope began to get very slippery. The current GWL the I have posted now I believe is 492 cards long, a big undertaking, but I realized I am seriously missing many cards on the list. I have spent the last three days going through various Griffey lists, COMC and eBay and adding only the cards that interest me to my GWL, I just topped 1,000 cards and I just began working on 2009 cards right now.

I just topped 1,000 unique Griffey cards in my collection, more on that later, and with a want list of over 1,000 cards (and growing) I have a lot of collecting to do. I am happy that at least half of those cards are easily picked up for under $1 each so I am slowly adding to my COMC inventory as I am building my new GWL.
