1981 Topps Pete Rose

The front: As someone who started following baseball in the wake of Rose’s hit record, the first big baseball record to be set after the start of the baseball card craze, I think of every Rose Topps base card as a classic. This one is no exception, with Rose chatting at the batting cage in a Mizuno jacket. Not sure of the location – Shea Stadium?

The back: Rose was one of the longest-tenured players in the game. Topps had to shrink the type to get all the stats to fit.

The player: Rose’s list of accomplishments is legendary, and too much to list here. He is the all-time hits leader (4,256), the 1963 NL Rookie of the Year, the 1973 NL MVP, a three-time World Champion, a 17-time All-Star. He led the NL in hits seven times, runs four times, doubles five times, batting average three times, and on-base percentage twice.

The man: Unfortunately, Rose’s list of disgraces is as legendary, and lengthy, as his list of baseball accomplishments. First and foremost is his lifetime ban for gambling on baseball, enacted in 1989. A year earlier, he had been suspended for 30 games for pushing umpire Dave Pallone, a record suspension for a manager. In 1991 her served time in prison for filing false income tax returns.

My collection: I have 53 of his cards, from 1966 to 1987. I would be interested in trading for 1963 Topps #537 (wishful thinking!), 1964 Topps #125, 1965 Topps #207, 1970 Topps #580, 1971 Topps #100 and 1972 Topps #559.

  1. It's taken a couple of decades, but I've started collecting Rose again. As I get older in age, I've grown to let things go and focus more on the positive.

  2. True story, I'm one of the people who have benefited from Dr. Ogbeifun Love Spell. Dr. Ogbeifun appeared in the middle of my life when all hope was lost. I gave up on life and thought the best way to care for my broken heart. I have several experiences with my husband who have been working with me for many years. I made up my mind to continue with my suicide before a strange spirit. Afterwards, Dr. Ogbeifun Temple, I reluctantly looked for and found testimonials and recommendations for him via his email. He answered and asked me to go away and take my life; he said that my case is solvable after consulting his Oracle. Well, here I am today thanking Dr. Ogbeifun for saving my life and bringing back my Husband. We are so happy today and happier than we have ever been. He also helped me stop my cardiac arrest problem. I am grateful for being among the people sharing this testimony.
