Baseball Card Show Purchase #2 – Roger Clemens 2006 Topps ‘Rookie Of The Week’ – 1985 Topps Design
There was no way that I was going to let this one escape me. I am a huge fan of the 1985 Topps set, and I have picked up some great re-prints featuring that design over the last few years.
This card of Roger Clemens comes from the 2006 Topps ‘Rookie Of The Week’ set.
Have a look:
If you ask me, the image used on this one is better than the original. And while this one is very sweet, it cannot replace the original that I already have in my collection.
But it sure does accompany it very well…
I haven’t bought a lot of re prints, so does Topps use the current card stock or the vintage card stock?
Matt- definitely modern cardstock
That sucks.
Matt- there is nothing quite like true, vintage cardboard!
