Team: Cincinnati Reds

Card: 1987 Topps

Acquired: TTM 1/1 10/29/2008 (373 days)

Comments: I've had a little bit of luck lately with the ol' '87 Topps Reds set. Eddie Milner returned my card after JUST over a year of being out in the wild. Great to see it back. Recently, I received a return from Kurt Stillwell that had been out a long time as well. So, after barely having a pulse the last few months, the set is back and on it's way to completion.

The funny coincedence about this particular card is that Eddie is going to be signing autographs at the long-running Moeller Card Show over Thanksgiving weekend. I was fully planning on going and getting his '87 Topps card signed at the show. I'm still going - Juan Marichal and Orlando Cepeda are going to be there as well - but debating on getting another autograph from Eddie. I probably will. He does have another '87 Topps card - in the "Traded" set. See, except for the 1987 season, Eddie played his entire career with the Reds. Even after his stint with the Giants in '87, he played for the Reds in '88, appearing in just 23 games.
