I bought these two cards off of COMC recently because I thought they were so cool. These are 1975 SSPC cards. The above card shows Hall of Famer, Duke Snider as a coach for the Expos. It definitely is a funny sight to see him in the Red White and Blue Expos uniform.
I don't have very many Expos in my collection, so adding this one was a no brainer for me.
Finally, this card is weirder for me than the Snider. Harmon Killebrew as something other than a Senator/Twim. Wow. I totally forgot that Killebrew finished his career in Kansas City. The card is awesome and I'm glad I own it.
I looked at most of the '75 SSPC checklist on COMC and there are quite a few cards that I still want from there. I might make this a mini PC, players in odd uniforms. I could have Boog Powell as an Indian, or Frank Robinson as an Indian or Dodger. Some stuff like that. I used to have the Heritage card of Babe Ruth as a Dodger coach. I wonder what I did with that.
