what sort of tribute is this?

let's get something straight topps (and upper deck and panini and anyone else who is planning to manufacture baseball cards):  steve garvey is first and foremost a dodger.

topps got it right with their 2009 garvey ring of honor insert, but completely blew it by releasing this card in their 2009 topps tribute set:

enough with the padres cards.  i doubt that the set includes harmon killebrew as a royal. or ron santo as a white sock.  just put garvey in his dodger whites with the bright red number on the front and call it a day.

sheesh.

[of course, i still bought the card - it's steve garvey!]

really? Garvey played for the Dodgers too?

That is truly an exceptional card of one of the all time Padre greats.

Steve Garvey in a Padres uniform is a sight I don't want to look at. Bad memories from the 1984 NLCS keep coming back. I have Steve Garvey (or at least Padre Steve Garvey)!
