We welcome you to our first installment of Cardboard Flashback. What says Topps All-Star rookie more than a .225 batting average, stealing a whopping 10 bases, while knocking out 1 homerun and knocking in 29 rbi's? Andy Allanson, that's who! Double A had a magical season in 1986, battling Chris Bando for the everyday dish duty and leading the Sons of Geronimo to a 84-78 record.Allanson only hit 12 homeruns as an Indian, never fully realizing the potential Topps had envisioned. But for one unforgettable season, he was forever immortalized as an all-star, with a small picture of a gold cup imprinted on his trading card. Greatness personified.
