1977 Topps 3-card panel with Fred Lynn (from the Topps Vault)
1976 Bob Parker #11 Fred Lynn
I picked up this 3-card panel from the Topps Vault on eBay. It was pretty cheap and the
1977 Fred Lynn card is my personal favorite. I love those mid- 1970's Red Sox uniforms.
I think they only wore them from 1975 to 1978. The patch on Lynn's sleeve is a
Massachusetts Bicentennial patch (1976).

This is a fairly scarce Lynn issue from 1976. Bob Parker was a famous sports
artist and in the mid-1970's a few sets of cards were issued featuring his
artwork. Many all-time greats are featured, as well as the stars of the day.

This is probably Fred Lynn's rarest baseball card. In 1980 Topps
produced a set of All-Star prototype cards for a Pepsi promotion.
For some reason the cards were never produced for the public
and only 3 sets of 22 cards, meaning only THREE OF EACH
CARD were actually made. This card is actually a "proof" card
which was listed on eBay by the Topps Vault. I am still ill about
getting outbid on it...

1980 Pepsi Cola All-Stars #6 Fred Lynn Proof card (Very rare!)
1975 SSPC #402 Fred Lynn
The autographed Fred Lynn photo above was used to create the 1975 SSPC (though not actually released until 1976) #402 baseball card (above, right). The SSPC
cards are really beautiful cards; no gimmicks, just a simple photo on the front. They are very reminiscent of the popular 1953 Bowman Color set. This card (#402) lists
for .30 (in NM condition) in the 2006 SCD Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards. Considering that this is technically a rookie card, .30 is quite a bargain. Fred Lynn's
1975 Topps #622 Rookie card lists for $8 in NM condition. If you like these SSPC cards you can find them all day long on eBay.

#B-FL Fred Lynn (Game-used bat piece)
#B-FL Fred Lynn (Game-used bat piece)
I just got this card from a big Red Sox fan in Massachusetts, Matt Richman. Matt is a young
kid, yet thanks to his pop Todd, knows a lot about some of the great baseball stars of the
past; especially Red Sox greats like Yaz, Dewey, Rice, Fisk, and my favorite, Fred Lynn.
This particular card pictures Lynn circa. 1979-80. Fred had worked out with weights and
added some clout, pounding 39 Home Runs & 42 doubles, while driving in 122 runs (all
career highs). Not only did he hit for power, he also won the American League batting crown
with a nifty .333 batting average. He also hit a HR in the 1979 All-Star Game in Seattle and
almost made a miraculous catch in centerfield, crashing into the wall while trying to catch a
triple by Phillie HOFer Mike Schmidt. Fred said in an interview that he "catches that ball.....in
his dreams." It was a spectacular try and I remember the paper having a picture of Lynn
going face first into the centerfield wall trying to get that ball. I don't think there was padding
on the walls then. I cut out the picture and somewhere I probably still have it. Plays like that
made Fred Lynn a special player (keep in mind this was an All-Star Game; back then players
played for pride). Maybe someday Matt will be a star for the hometown Bosox and I can put
one of his cards on this site! Thanks Matt for the great card of my favorite player...FRED
LYNN!!!

1976 Sports Illustrated Posters Fred Lynn
I remember having this poster in 1976 or 1977. I don't know what happened to the original one, but I did pick one up on eBay. This same poster was also featured in
the hit television sitcom "Cheers," starring Ted Danson. Danson's character "Sam Malone," an ex-big leaguer who owns a Boston bar has the poster on display in
his office. It features a terrific action of Fred in his follow through.

1976 Hostess #1 Fred Lynn
Hostess issued baseball cards from 1976 to 1979. They were issued in 3-card panels on the bottom of product boxes and individually in smaller packages as well. They
were intended to by cut out. My dad used to work for Hostess, so every once in awhile he would bring home some boxes and I would cut out the cards. I still have some of
these to this day. What's cool about them is that they are very inexpensive compared to Topps cards. Also, some of the photos were used on Topps cards. For instance
the photo on this 1976 Hostess #1 Fred Lynn card was also used on the 1976 Topps #192 A.L. Batting Leaders and #196 A.L. RBI Leaders cards (both featuring Fred
Lynn).

Wire Photo featuring Sparky Anderson & Fred Lynn during the 1975 World Series
Fred Lynn played in only one World Series, the 1975 classic vs. the Cincinnati Reds. He had a very good series, batting .280 with 7 hits, including a double, home run,
3 runs, and 5 RBI's. He also played some spectacular defense. The above wire photo shows Hall Of Fame manager Sparky Anderson talking to Fred prior to one of the
games. Anderson must have liked him, because Fred played for Anderson's Detroit Tigers from 1988 to 1990.
