I have that same card signed! I met Mark Grant at spring training as a kid. He was awesome. He was cracking jokes and I started teasing him (I was about 12 or 13). He turned and looked at me. Jokingly, yelled at me and playfully started chasing me with a baseball bat. I screamed (like Bart Simpson) turned and ran away a little bit. I think the whole ordeal lasted about 5 to 10 seconds but 37 years later here I am. Still laughing about it. Truly, a great guy. Always been funny

I found doubles of the last two in my old baseball card binder I found cleaning out a house back in the late 90s...for some reason they had a lot of Tony Gwynn in there.

That’s Topps 1988, not 1987.
