The final page has some pretty impressive players on it; five of the eight are in Cooperstown.
#26 Richie Allen, he signed as "Rich," the back of the card says "Richie." and in a year or so he will be "Dick."
#27 Roberto Clemente, he signed as "Roberto," but this was the era when Topps was calling him "Bob."
#28 Curt Flood
#29 Bob Gibson This looks like it was taken at the Cardinals old home, Sportsmans Park, which they moved out of in 1966.
#30 Al Ferrara, The Padres representative sure go himself mixed into some pretty elite company!
#31 Willie McCovey The Giants were the other team in the set with three players, and all three are in the Hall of Fame.
#32 Juan Marichal
#33 Willie Mays
And with that, I am now completely finished with the 1969 set; really, I am.
(And yes, I know there are sticker inserts with this set, too, but I don't have any of them and I'm not planning to get any of them....I am done with 1969!!)
