I complained about all the parallels that were out there when I got back into collecting in 2014, and we only had like 6 or 7 back then.

Wasn't me, but the CES parallel is kinda cool, though I tend to suffer from massive parallel overload.

This is exactly how at least some governments in the Middle East do it. In the UAE, foreign nationals must apply for a license to buy alcohol at the governments stores. Licensure for women often takes much longer. It is meant to preclude Emeratis from buying alcohol.

1975 Yount.
1978 Trammell/Molitor (are there any other multiplayer rookie cards with more than one HOF on it?).
The major quibble I have is that there was no need to have multiple cards of the same player. The list should not have 4 Ohtanis, three Judges, 3 Griffeys, 2 '82 Ripkens, etc.

This is what I would do too, even though I'd love seeing alternative hats for guys like Fingers and Sutton.
If you got ambitious, you could have alternatives both for guys from the time period since the initial set and even for those inducted previously (Mays on Mets, Aaron Brewers etc.)

Everything here seems so focused on politics and therefore serious when a lot of us would love more "frivolous" content like baseball and baseball cards and fantasty and the like.
I do miss the frivolous content at X, but I also don't miss the nazis. LOL

What's crazy is she is only 75 years old. I would have sworn that she was in her 50s in 1985. Nope--she was 34 years old then.

That first one was the best one too. The next year was really fun, but it was such a blowout so quickly that it was a coronation and not a football game. The Alabama game, though, was truly incredible. My favorite replay is "Bennett Launching Mitchell Caught It. TOUCHDOWN GEORGIA! On the Free Play!"
