BLACK FRIDAY COMC PICKUPS - PART 7: TOM TERRIFIC

HEEEEEERE WEEEEEEE GOOOOOOOOO

THE ONLY ACTUAL BASEBALL CARD I GOT DURING THE BLACK FRIDAY SALE

1972 TOPPS TOM SEAVER

KEPT MY STREAK OF ADDING AT LEAST ONE 1972 CARD A YEAR ALIVE. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG IT'S BEEN GOING BUT I REALLY LIKE THIS SET A LOT SO IT'S AT LEAST IN DOUBLE DIGITS. GOOD CARD TO PICK UP TOO, TOM TERRIFIC. IT DON'T LOOK TERRIFIC, BUT THAT'S HOW I LIKE 'EM. BAD CORNERS, CREASES, THE ENTIRE PICTURE IS FRAMED IN SCRIBBLES

I HAVE NO EARTHLY IDEA WHAT ANY OF THIS MEANS.

BEST GUESS: KID USED THIS CARD TO RECORD THE RESULTS OF A TABLETOP GAME. THE Ws AND Ls WORK OUT TO 13-15 AND TOM NEVER HAD THAT RECORD IN REAL LIFE. 4-3 AND 5-5 COULD BE GAME SCORES. Sh? NO IDEA. WiPo SOUNDS LIKE ADVANCED METRICS YOU HAVE TO LOOK UP ON FANGRAPHS AND HAVE A THOROUGH KNOWLEGE OF CALCULUS TO UNDERSTAND. THIS KID WAS AHEAD OF THEIR TIME

SO I KNOCKED OUT A HALL OF FAMER OFF MY 72 WANTLISTS BY PURCHASING THE CHEAPEST CARD AVAILABLE RIGHT? WELL... NO. THERE WAS A CHEAPER SEAVER CARD WHEN I BOUGHT IT AND IT LOOKED TO BE IN IDENTICAL CONDITION EXCEPT FOR THE SCRIBBLES. I PAID A PREMIUM TO HAVE WRITING ON THE CARD. THIS IS HOW DISEASED MY COLLECTING BRAIN IS NOW. THAT OTHER CARD IS JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER 72 SEAVER CARD OUT THERE SAVE FOR CONDITION. THERE IS NO OTHER TOM SEAVER CARD LIKE THIS ONE ANYWHERE EVER. EVEN IF YOU TRY TO FORGE ONE JUST LIKE IT THE HIGH LEVEL OF CHICKEN SCRATCH WRITING WILL NEED A MASTER ARTIST TO COPY SUFFICIENTLY. IT'S A NON FUNGIBLE TOMSEAVER, COMPLETELY UNIQUE. THIS IS WHAT I LIKE NOW. WHICH IS GOOD BECAUSE YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT IT WOULD COST TO GET THIS THING GRADED
