Today's card is the 1975 Topps #11. While not as 1970s terrific as yesterday's card featuring Dwight Jones, this is still a solid card. Decent picture. Great colors for the graphics. Funny basketball player graphics on the back.

Funny thing, just last week I thought about asking you to feature a card of this very underrated Coog but I never got around to it. DD could jump through the roof. I can still see him running down court with that loping style, all arms and his head held low. Then he'd explode and just hammer some poor guy's shot into the lights. He'll always remain a favorite of mine.
He had a lot of rough times off the court but he's doing well now. Here is a story for anyone interested.
Thanks for the comments. And if you or anyone has a player or card they wish to see, please comment or e-mail me at cougarcards at yahoo.com. I have images of 5500 cards on my computer so there's a 1 in 3 chance I have it.
Or if you have an image of a card that you want posted, feel free to send it. Even better, if you want to write a post about a card you have, I'd love the contribution
