And none of the sets are showing much love from my favorite player, Billy Williams. He wasn't included in a single set or insert set. Banks, Sandberg, Dawson, yes; but Billy has been given a resounding no.
The closest that I was able to come to getting a 2015 Billy Williams cards was this...
...Original buyback card.
Here's a better look at the Original stamp.
The buyback cards fall two per hobby box. There is no checklist for these. It looks like they just added a random assortment of cards from random years. The condition of the cards wasn't much of an issue for Topps. Mine has a crease and a dinged corner.
But it's the best I can do to add a 2015 Billy Williams card to his player collection; a 43-year-old card.
Have you seen any buy back cards in the 80s? I would love to add a Sandberg to my collection. My thought is there isn't any out there, because 60s and 70s vintage is more alluring to collectors than 80s junk wax.
