Cardboard Cousins: 2003 Topps All-Time Fan Favorites

 All-Time Fan Favorites was a set which used all of the Topps catalog of designs for cards of "fan favorites".

#130 is a very obvious pairing, I wonder if it might even have been intentional by Topps. Two Cardinals greats, long-time teammates who died less than a month apart this fall.

This one is not quite as spot-on, but #45 does feature two Hall-of-Fame pitchers. In 1974, they tied for the American League lead with 25 wins (Jenkins was with Texas by that time).

  1. I've never thought of Fan Favorites matching numbers like Heritage. I'll have to check mine.
