Continuing on with the highlights from the box of Dodgers cards sent to me from the biggest Dodger fan on the East coast, Night Owl.
Today we cover cards from the 70's and 80's...

FERNANDOMANIA!!!!

Derrel Thomas wasn't a superstar, but was very solid for a couple of seasons.
Speaking of solid, below are a couple of past Dodger mashers...

Can't go wrong with Fernando. That "Forever" series is one of my favorite insert sets of all-time.
