Can anyone identify this Davey Lopes "spokane Indians" PACIFIC card?

BBCgalaxee · Feb 3, 2014

Picked it up yesterday in a dime box and can't find ANY info. It's not even listed in beckett database.

I can't even totally pinpoint a year (no copyright). While he played in the early 70s in spokane, I'm thinking it's a mid 80s "greats" card as that's when Pacific made spokane Indians minor league cards.

It also appears to be a promo card which is really why I picked it up.

Thanks, no mention of Cramer making it on the card, pretty tricky.

Sent from my HTCONE using Freedom Card Board mobile app

That's crazy. I have heard of and seen the old Cramer sets for years, but I never put it together in my head that he is the Cramer from Pacific.

Yeah, Michael Cramer is a pretty cool story. Who among us wouldn't want to go from collector, to card company president, to sports photographer? Living the dream.

Cool read. I wish he would bring back Pacific... the real Pacific. I wonder why he stopped producing cards?

Pacific lost their baseball and football licenses (rumored to be over questionable game-used cards) and only had hockey left, which wasn't enough to keep his company afloat.
Donruss bought the Pacific name in late 2004.

I used to shop at his store in Edmonds, WA when I was a kid. I miss that store and those times as well. I had to grab a few sets, as Garvey is in it as well. they are tougher to find these days, mainly because they are loaded with MLB players and probably not made in the greatest of quantity to begin with.
