1974 Topps Deckle Dating: Reggie Jackson

REGGIE! REGGIE!

June 30, 1973. These are TCDB "scans" - though the watermark here gives it away. I'm of the opinion that it's better to have the record of the image then for it to be an exact scan.

This was the same day as Wilbur Wood's card. Here Topps got the name of the ballpark right. As noted on that post, it was a great day for Reggie who hit two home runs as Oakland beat Chicago, 3-2, to take first place from the White Sox for good. The major news of the day was the unusually long solar eclipse (92 minutes - there won't be another until 2150).

You can see a color version of this photo on Jackson's '74 puzzle.
