2025 Card-vent Calendar: December 8

December 8, 2025:
1975 Topps #131 Toby Harrah AUTO

"'Toby... Toby???  Toby???  Toby Wong...  Toby Wong???  Toby Wong...  Toby Chung...'  Fuckin' Charlie Chan!"
 

Don't be put off by the differences in the on-card and facsimile contract signatures on this card.  It looks like Harrah has had a couple of different autograph styles throughout his lifetime.  I actually like the no-nonsense T over the curvier one.  Maybe he does the quick one when he's short on time?  In any case, a cool card.

  1. A. Always like seeing the Coliseum in the background of 70's Topps cards.

    B. Reservoir Dogs is a classic.

  2. Has to be the best Card-vent card this year, so far.

  3. Topps faked a lot of those facsimile autographs. I just noticed they misspelled Jimmy Wynn's name on his 1969 Topps Deckle.
