2012 was the first year of Topps Archives, yet another set which puts current players in older card designs. This set had a lot of '71s. The best match among my collection is these two Joe's. Mauer was the better player, but Pepitone was more famous. Mauer was the better overall hitter (the rare catcher with a lifetime batting average over .300) but Pep had more pop (219 HR to Mauer's 143). Both were good fielders who each won three Gold Gloves at their position.
