“ I have heard of most baseball players but I have never heard of Johnny Temple. ” -carthage44

“ I like the team by team stats on the back ” -dobbie

“ I remember getting these. Blue for the NL Red for the AL. They alternated them too, Al then NL. Wonderful and wonderful memories. I cannot express the feeling of getting cards with a special background as opposed to usual photos. Very unique at the time. Similar feeling as to when he Beatles hit the scene. ” -NJDevils

“ Nice error on the back. Anyone else notice it? ” -vrooomed

“ The background makes the card. There sure are a lot of stars. ” -jlaz10

“ Just classic. ” -switzr1

Wow, what a flashback. I remember when my Dad gave this card to me. He thought it was neat that we share the same last name. Thanks database for the memories of my Dad.

There are at least two errors on the back. Topps misspelled Cincinnati at the top and put the wrong league in the breakdown header. Oh Topps! It's not like Johnny Temple got a lot of these all-star cards.
