Coming from one of the most underrated sets in Topps history (at least in my opinion) is this awesome 1981 Topps Willie Stargell card. I got it off of COMC really cheaply and I just love it for all of the colorfulness that is shown on the card. I have toyed with the idea of starting a Stargell PC, even though he was responsible for the Pirates beating the Orioles in the 1979 World Series. I wasn't alive then, so it doesn't really matter to me.
The card is just amazing. It captures Stargell seemingly hitting a home run, judging by the upward glance on his face. It has the old school loud uniforms of the 70s. Look at the high socks and stirrups. What a card. I kind of hate that I bought the 1981 set whole in an album. It really is an underrated set and one that I'm sure would have been a blast to build. I might look into actually putting one together at some point, maybe if I can find a decent enough starter set. Who know. All I know is, I kind of want to pull out that album and see if there are more gems in the set that are like this one.
