Gary Carter

This is the Donruss 1982 card of Gary Carter. Carter recently passed away this year. Here is a nice looking batting / in action shot of Carter

Larry Bittner and Dave Concepcion photos taken in the same inning

The great thing about these two card are they were taken by the same photographer most likely in the same inning of the same game. There is just a slight angle adjustment to the cards. You notice the same guy with the dark hat in the stands. It appears to be a Cub or Met cap

Mike Scott #128

Mike would become a very good pitcher with the Houston Astros. This photo was taken in spring traing.  A nice shot of the Mets logo on his shoulder.

Sixto Lezcano #64

Sixto would not make it to the 1982 World Series with the Cardinals, he ended up on the Padres. A decent posed shot. Though for some reason it has a slight blur to it.

Keith Drumright #616

Keith would make it into all of the Major sets in 1982. All three photos were interesting. Topps had him leading off the bag, in an interesting shot. Fleer had him around the batting cage and Donruss had him here. I think this is the worst of all him one time baseball card

Bryan Clark #596

The Shadow Knows. Like most Mariners in this set, the cards are dark looking or come with a Shadow. You can barely make out Bryan's face. In College he majored in Dental Hygiene.

Larry Bradford #553

The bearded one. I like this card. I like the blue of the braves uniform. I like that Larry is posing for the camera. I like that it is a tight shot and that you can still see the scoreboard in the background. Through 1981, he pitched over 100 innings and had a 2.51 ERA.
