Billy Williams

This post has been waiting over a year to be seen. Sorry post. I love finding great deals on vintage.

Check out these two 1971 Topps cards. These were a quarter each and highlight the 1970 National League Home Run Leaders and RBI Leaders.

The thing I thought was interesting about these two cards is that they feature the same three players. Johnny Bench, Billy Williams, and Tony Perez.

I wonder how often that has happened. That the same three players were at the top of their league for home runs and RBI.

My LCS must have picked up a collection from a Cubs fan recently because there were lots of Billy Williams, Ron Santo, and Fergie Jenkins. Here are a few other Billy Williams cards that I picked up yesterday. 

The 1968 and 1971 were 50 cents apiece while the 1970, which is in really great shape, set me back $2 and was the highest price I paid for a card.
