1980 Topps Lou Brock - 30 Tribute Card Project - Part 15 of 15

This the 15th and final part of a continuing 30 tribute card project inspired by this article from Sports Collectors Daily. In previous posts I have shown 4 cards that Topps had produced and 15 cards that I have found on various blogs pages. Now I have my turn: 

Here is a shot of Lou Brock that I've been waiting for an excuse to use. I stole, er "borrowed", it from the Topps Vault. He just looks so bad-ass in those shades. This would have been a much more fitting tribute to the stolen base king than the highlight card he shared with Yaz in the 1980 set. I'm not sure why the photo was framed with the background on an angle but I decided not to level it when I saw that it seemed to parallel the pennants used on the 1980 design. 

 Here is the complete list. The Black X represents cards produced by Topps, The red X represents those made by other baseball card geeks, and now the blue X represents the cards made by yours truly:
