1976 Topps Wonder Bread All-Star Series #12 Garo Yepremian
Yeah, so the gym teacher at my school was a D3 All-American kicker in college. He's a bit of a card collector, too, likes soccer, so the two of us get along rather well. The other day he mentioned that he's building an all-kicker card collage under the glass bartop in his basement bar. I decided to help him out a little bit and found some 1980s kickers from my piles of doubles. All the greats were there, an early Nick Lowery, Jan Stenerud on the Vikings, and, of course, Chester Marcol. But the king of this stack of kickers was a 1981 Topps Garo Yepremian. The photo on this card has Garo in maybe a three-quarter profile close-up. You can get a great look at the sideburns, which are large and in charge. Meaty.
On this Wonder Bread issue, however, Garo is about five years younger, and there's still a little something going on on top.
We were all young, once.
