Billy Williams 2006 Fleer ‘Greats Of The Game’ Game-Used Jersey Card
There is no doubt that Billy Williams belongs in this set. One of the most famous Chicago Cubs of all-time, Williams was a fan favorite at Wrigley Field for 16 magnificent seasons.
Williams’ impressive resume displays the following – Rookie of the Year(1961), 2-time runner up for the MVP(’70 & ’72), 6-time All-star, Batting Title(’72), 2,711 career hits, 426 home runs, 1,410 runs scored, 1,475 RBI, and a career batting average of .290.
And the fact that this card features a Grey swatch from one of Williams’ Cubs jerseys is simply icing on the cake!!!
Enjoy.
I’ve got the same card with a gray swatch, but the back of the card says the swatch was from when he was with the A’s. Does yours say A’s or Cubs? Because if there are Cubs versions of this, I’d like to hunt one down.
Hey Paul- I just checked again. It’s from an A’s jersey. Bummer.
Yea, it sure seems pretty misleading to show the player with one team on the card and then have a relic from a different team. I’ve got a few more like than from the same set. The Sutter card has a Cardinal relic and the Jenkins relic is from a Red Sox jersey. False advertising!
