  2. #576 Mike Dyer
  3. #791 Alvaro Espinoza

Awesome, how often do you pull a base card of a 1940′s star and Hall of Famer from a pack these days?

Maybe Topps should make an insert set featuring Hall of Famers who are still living, and showing what they look like now.  Kind of like the “When They Were Young” series last year, but more like “When They Are Old”.

Red Schoendienst is still alive and well, by the way.
