Latest Sandberg Addition: 2007 Topps Cards That Never Were, 1982 Topps Traded

In 2007, Topps issued a series of special cards at the National Convention, including a "pre-rookie" card that could have been released for Ryne Sandberg (the other cards were a 1952 Joe DiMaggio, 1952 Ted Williams, 1967 Nolan Ryan, and 1954 Stan Musial). There were approximately 900 cards released of Sandberg's 1982 Topps Traded card, numbered 133T. As an avid Cubs and Sandberg fan, I am always intrigued by cards of Sandberg in a Phillies uniform. This card is probably my favorite to date:

    That's a nice looking card. I only know of two cards of Sandberg as a Phillie. A 1994 Topps Traded card and a 2005 Upper Deck Classics Star Retro Rookies.
