While working on a recent project for another Website, I came across this card:
It's the Seattle Supersonics' team card from the 1975-'76 Topps basketball set.
I like the idea of having the team stand in front of an airplane since they're named after one. However, they didn't stand in front of a Supersonic plane like the Concorde, it's a 747. However, the company that manufactured the 747 was Boeing, a company that was founded in Seattle. So, there was a "hometown" angle behind the picture.
Happy New Year!

I decided that New Year's Day was the perfect time to feature the first
card of the 1973 Topps set. That was back in 2011, and today is the first
day since...

Great card! Can't believe I missed it during my time there. (That should be Bill Russell in front, too, so you've got a HOFer front and center.)
