Sammy Esposito's Topps file card from the archives - cross4444 - 11-04-2013
I recently picked up a very cool (and odd) piece of history from the Topps Archives. I'm sure some of you have seen these before, but I always get a kick out of them so I had to pick one up on Ebay. Check out the post I wrote on my blog and feel free to share your thoughts!

That file card is crazy-cool! What a nice piece of history! I wonder what Mike Trout's file card looks like?

Congrats Cross! Nice neat piece of history and enjoyed reading your post. I just wonder what Mickey got as I assume the "stars" did a little better. Awesome....need to get one of these.

Good question, I'm betting they did. What's funny is that today Topps pays players $75/year and Esposito made $125/year.

Yea, but that $75 is probably for pictures only.....I assume each one has thier own Auto contract.
