1995 Topps Cyber Stats #30

















Card Review: 8.2  For the most part I don't like inserts, but these were a cool idea.  I would have rather Topps used the same back as the base card, but I can live with this.

Selig's incompetence apparently deprived Wallach of tying his career high in homers and another 100 RBI season.  Personally I think the numbers would have been higher.  Also not shown is that Wallach would have been the post-season hero against his old team the Expos, and World Series MVP against the Yankees.

Number of this card in my collection: 2

1995 Topps #38



















Card Review: 8.4   I like the '95 Topps design, I'm just not that wild about any of the 3 photos on this card.  The front is ok, but given the wealth of great looking cards in this set it's a little disappointing.  The back two are very vanilla, and I'm pretty sure that picture of him fielding is recycled from the Bazooka set, and was also used on the back of the Topps D3 card.

Fun Facts: *Tragically, and inexplicably, this Wallach's last Topps card
*Using historical precedence, there should have been a '96 Topps, '96 Topps Traded, and '97 Topps of Tim Wallach
*In '95 Tim reached the post-season for the 2nd time in his career and first time since 1981.
