1974 Topps Deckle Dating: Nate Colbert

 Not much of a background here.

According to Topps, this was Shea Stadium, on June 17, 1973. Colbert didn't have the Fu Manchu mustache in previous years so I am thinking this might be accurate.

Colbert was 1-for-4, scoring the Padres' only run in a 3-1 loss to the Mets. Ron Hodges hit a tie-breaking home run in the eighth inning, the only one of the Mets' thirteen hits that went for extra bases.

In other news, two men died in a submarine accident in Florida, the Skylab crew set a record with their 24th day in orbit, and Johnny Miller won golf's U.S. Open.
