Lazy? I'll give you lazy...

Alright, alright, so I haven't distributed all of January's stickers, I haven't graded out photos in the queue, I haven't checked out Joe's video on facebook and haven't even started the work with Max needed to complete episode 2 BUT I don't feel so bad after realizing how lazy Topps Baseball was back in 1981.

Joe, after getting his stickers for the month, discovered this...



That's three different Steve Carlton stickers quite possibly ripped from the same pitch. If it's not a single pitch then at the very least this photographer didn't bother moving out of the same camera well for an entire ball game. You kidding me Topps? You've officially changed the definition of The Carlton from "a sitcom inspired dance sequence" to "laziness in it's purest form."

Once again the Sticker Challenge makes my day.

Sorry Mr. Ribeiro, your pop culture relevance has taken a hit today.

  2. Joe - you should be ecstatic that those stickers don't represent a double, a double-double or even a triple-double of the carlton after your first sticker delivery....unless you did already get one in your introductory 5 pack. In which case you only have a single regular double - hardly a problem considering what trouble you thought you were in until you saw the numbers.

    Anonymous is right...someone jacked the order...or maybe that unorthodox delivery is what made him so good. We're all too young to remember otherwise.

    then i was shocked at the implications. neat.

  4. Did I really screw up the order? Kevin got two Carlton's in his pack as well.

  5. yep. 2 and 1 should be flipped. the leg is more erect in 2, while in 1 he's starting to reach back for his drive forward.

  6. I scanned them in the order of sticker numbers. My error.
