1992 Topps, Tim Wallach

Card No. 385

Replete with warmup jacket, batting gloves and those unmistakable powder blue uniform pants, All-Star third baseman Tim Wallach works through some infield practice....If you follow trading card blogs, you're probably familiar with the tremendous Wallach Blog already....This card is Tim's penultimate Topps card in which he's shown as a member of the Expos....His rookie card can be found in the 1982 set....During the 1992 season--his final year in Montreal--Tim batted a career-low .223 with 9 homers and 59 RBIs.

1992 Topps, Frank Thomas

Card No. 555

A case can be made quite easily that this is Frank Thomas' best Topps card in terms of artistic presentation....As you can see, some of the photo choices in the 1992 Topps set are every bit as good as those used in that year's super-premium Stadium Club product....This is one of two horizontally-oriented cards of Frank in the Topps catalog (1997 being the other)....Thomas' iconic "#1 Draft Pick" rookie card can be found in the 1990 set....The Big Hurt established a career high and led the A.L. with 46 doubles during the '92 season.
