Cards That Never Were: Bob Randall Topps 1981

Cards That Never Were is a recurring series in which I create digital trading cards for players missed in various sets. It is a concept I have borrowed from far too many to list, but I appreciate all of their efforts.

Bob Randall was selected by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2nd round of the 1969 amateur draft. Having not reached the Majors, the second baseman was traded to the Minnesota Twins after the 1975 season. He made his MLB debut in 1976 and played through the 1980 seaon with the Twins before retiring. For his career, he played in 460 games, getting 341 hits with a .257 batting average, one home run, 91 RBIs and 154 runs scored.

Topps gave Randall cards in 1977-1980. That left a career-capper card to be made. Once again, I was beat to it by Lynn from the Custom Baseball Cards Facebook group. Despite the name, it contains all sorts of cards, not just baseball and Lynn is probably the busiest creator in the group. He does amazing work.
