2012 Topps Archives Hobby

Keeping the Topps Archives train alive, here is a pack of 2012 Topps Archives Hobby.

This set is similar in a lot of ways to the All-Time Fan Favorites sets of the mid-2000's in design, except featuring current players in addition to the retro ones.

First is R.A. Dickey. I'm a big knuckleball enthusiast so this is a cool way to start the pack. This is the classic 1980 Topps Design, famous for Rickey Henderson's Rookie Card.

Next is Brandon Morrow in the '84 Design.

Casey Kotchman is next. I've had a vendetta against him since he faked getting beaned earlier this season.

Another 1980, this one is Clayton Kershaw. This photo is eerily similar to some of the pitcher shots from 1980.

Repping the 1987 Topps Design is Von "Purple" Hayes. He was a one-time all-star (1989).

Here's a nice Joe Morgan.

Jeet

To add insult to a Sox fan's injury (the Kotchman), here is a Jeter.

And finishing things up is one of my favorite players, Adrian Beltre.

That Morgan is slicker than a greased up penquin
