Vintage wins

Are we considering 1983 Vintage yet?  I was twenty-six that year, out of high school for eight years, four years out of the Navy and two years away from getting married.  Anyway the 1983 kicked butt winning fourteen to one.  Recycled Vintage versus Actual Vintage, Joey is now a New York Met in a three team trade that brought Joe Musgrove to the Padres.  Benito was Rookie of the Year, played seven seasons in San Diego and was a five time all-star.  


Thank you for stopping by and thank you for your assistance.

    Gotta go for the Topps 87 card (the first cards I ever bought!!) and Benny on this one.

    87 topps gets my vote over the heritage

    I'll almost always go for Benito, and this is no exception.

    Now this is a difficult choice for me, but in the end, my vote goes to Santiago. One of my earliest baseball memories is his 34 game hit streak.

    1983 isn't vintage. Benny!

    I'll go with Joey in a lost cause. Benito has a lot of great cards, but that ain't one of 'em.

    Joey gets my vote. The '71 cards are so awesome, just as they were when I was 11...not yet vintage.

    I don't consider '83 vintage, although it's also clearly not junk wax. There's an era that's kind of undefined.

    Gotta go with the new Met Lucchesi. The Santiago isn't that nice a picture anyway.

    The Lucchesi card for me as well!

    I think they're both awful, but I gotta go with Benito.

    Neither are great. Lucchesi by default.

    Tough call... because neither card truly screams pick me. The blue sky w/clouds is kinda cool on the Lucchesi, but I'm gonna go with the Santiago. He's got the name... and I like the 87T design more than the 71T.

    Benny's wearing a rather nice cross, so by divine intervention I'm voting for Santiago!

    Gotta go with Santiago. I definitely associate him with the Padres and he was so good during his time there.

    Love the '87 Topps design, but I will go with Lucchesi just for the better looking background

    Both aren't terribly impressive, so I'll go with Benny's shiny cross.
