An All Pro RB, a notorious All-Star hurler, a tightly-combed QB, & a recently-traded outfielder. This is unique quartet came via Capt Clutch @smith6668 who always offers excellent cards, these were part of his lot on the 9/13 @ngtcollectibles giveaway thread. Thank you, Bill!

With these two cards, I now have more than half of John Wathan’s Topps run from his playing career as these 1978 & 1979 join the 1982, 1983, 1984, & 1986 that I have. I’m sure @CREID2852 owned duplicates & triplicates of some of those Wathans back when he opened packs😉

I found the results of this poll very interesting as the .500 W/L pct won w/39% of the votes but the remaining 61% of you would support a Cy Young candidate w/ a .417 or lower W-L pct & to go even further 31% would be on board w/.333 or lower.
