30 Years ago - Steve Carlton passes the Big Train in Career Ks
On May 20th 1983, 30 years ago today, Steve Carlton passed Walter Johnson's mark for Career Strikeouts (3508). Earlier in the 1983 Season Nolan Ryan had also passed the Big Train. Gaylord Perry would follow in August.
Topps noted the accomplishment as part of their Highlights Series that opened 1984 Topps. Carlton at times passed Ryan as the career strikeout leader but his career ultimately ended much earlier then the Ryan Express and Ryan would retire as the all-time strike out king. Nolan Ryan remains the career K leader today.
The flip of the card has a short blurb on noting the date and venue where each of the future Hall of Famer's passed Johnson.
For The Collector
The first six cards of the 1984 Topps set are Highlight cards. Three of them are shared cards similar to the Ks card above. One of which features Gaylord Perry again as a noted retiree (with Carl Yastrzemski and Johnny Bench) the other is a 1983 No-Hitters Card (Dave Righetti, Bob Forsch, Mike Warren). The first 3 cards are all solo highlights - Carlton 300 Wins, Rickey 100 SBs, Dan Quisenberry Record 39 saves in a season.

NSCC Loot 1975 Topps Mini - HoFs
I have a bunch of scans from the NSCC way back in early August which I have yet to post.
1975 Topps Minis
As with a lot of other vintage collectors I am a sucker for 1975 Topps Minis.
These were a buck a piece which is more then I would typically go for a 75 Mini, but the lot is all Hall of Famers. I have no serious interest in building the whole set, but I have thought of collecting all of the sets HoF cards. The August show was a huge step towards that goal.
Couple of favorites here. The HR League Leaders features two Phillies, Schmidt and Dick Allen who led the AL in 74 while playing w/ the White Sox.
The Mantle - Wills card features a Card that Never Was if my memory is correct. Topps had yet to sign Maury Wills in 1962 and he was never issued a 62 Topps card. For the 1975 MVP series the Topps simply created the card that never really existed.
