1974 Topps Deckle Dating: Willie Davis

 After 14 years with the Dodgers, Davis was traded to the Expos in December of 1973.

This back comes from an eBay auction; the card sold for $120. Topps is not even trying here; Davis was still a Dodger on March 16, 1973. (52 years ago today! I didn't plan that, total coincidence.) The hat certainly looks airbrushed.

In world news on March 16, 1973, the new London Bridge opened; a new record was set for the heaviest weight ever lifted, as part of the construction of the Fremont Bridge in Portland, OR; and the US Department of the Interior blocked a plan to construct a bridge connecting Oyster Bay and Rye, NY. To this day there is still not a way to drive off of Long Island without going through New York City. Big bridge news day!
