Missing Photo: Don Collins 1977 Braves

simarc · 09-28-2011, 11:03 AM

Anyone have a photo for Don Collins, who threw 70 2/3 innings for the 1977 Braves ? I have searched the net high and low and can't find it.

I'm working on a 1977 Topps Revised Card Project to fill in the missing players and update some horrible BHNH and Airbrush cards. I will share all completed items w/the community like I did with my 1981 Topps update, which I completed 3 weeks ago.

I'm posting all updates 1 by 1 to my blog: 1977 Topps Baseball Cards Updated

So far I have completed 10 of the 26 MLB teams from 1977. Basically I'm adding cards for the players who did not have one or for players who were traded. I'm also modifying cards for prominent players who might have been given a BHNH card or an airbrush job.

Here are some interesting new ones:

Since my last post I have updated the following teams: Mets, Blue Jays, White Sox and Orioles. Here are some samples:

I included the Steve Bowling card, because it was almost impossible for me to find a picture of him to use for the '77 set. I eventually found one in an obscure article. The Mazzilli shot came from the Mets '77 Yearbook. The Martinez shot came from some fans 126 Instamatic camera.

Your cards are awesome. I have most of the Twins done from this set. Let me know if you need any Twins photos.

Your Twins cards are off the charts. I posted them in this thread:

BTW, for all of you keeping score at home we finally have a Don Collins card !!!
