Major League Baseball has designated pink as the color for Mother's Day at its ballparks for the past dozen years or so. Topps has followed suit with pink parallels that are not called "pink parallels" but "Mother's Day parallels." This is the first one of those type of parallels that I landed. But I haven't bothered to find that many more. They're not cheap and because Topps has numbered them so low, usually just 50 available, they're tough to find. I find it odd that Topps has made pink such an exclusive color. In the world that I grew up in, pink was not exclusive on cards. It was everywhere on cards. All I have to do is show you one card from the 1975 Topps set, the first set I collected. This was life in the '70s. Colors weren't exclusive. They weren't featured only on "sometimes cards," if you could afford them or get lucky. They were in just about every damn pack. I've always been a fan of the pink-yellow card...
Up all hours talking baseball, cardboard & collecting
