does this card look familiar?
it's a 1978 hostess ron cey card. thank goodness for the neighbors who would buy twinkies and ding dongs for their kids. otherwise i never would have seen these cards. i remember when i first saw this particular card and actually wasn't sure if i wanted it. that's because it was so similar to the penguin's 1978 topps card (sans the ttm auto)
that i didn't see the point in owning two ron cey cards. imagine that. now i collect cards of retired players that recycle the same photo or are different colored parallels. in the end, it's not the same photo just a picture from the same roll, so i went for it.
a year later, i was a bit relieved to see cey's 1979 hostess card
since it was nothing like his 1979 topps card (which has since been signed by cey)
i will refrain from making the obvious 'two birds with one stone' joke, simply because i can't figure out how to set it up. i'll just blatantly make the comment that cey's 1979 topps card features a peacock and a penguin and leave it at that.
