1965 Topps #425 Wayne Causey (Kansas City A's)

For the first time in many years, Topps had to share the baseball card market with others. Donruss and Fleer entered the market with their own 1981 sets. When collector's heard they were thrilled. When they saw the Donruss and Fleer cards they were many sighs of disappointment.

1981 will always be remembered for "FERNANDO MANIA" !!!
Fernando did not make the Hall-of-Fame and he even had to share his rookie card with another player, but he had more impact during the 1981 season then anyone.

Other rookies included Hall-of-Famers Tim Raines and Harold Baines. Kirk Gibson's rookie is also here. Not a Hall-of-Famer, but who can forget his home run off the then unhittable Dennis Eckersley ?
