Kent Tekulve

2003 Topps Retired Auto Kent Tekulve

Hard to get a good picture of the Topps Retired cards since they are all encased.  I love everything about this card.  It just reeks of the 70's with the awesome Pirate uniform and Teke's signature thick glasses.  This card was won for $9 shipped off of eBay.  

Teke still plays an active role with the Pirates as he is studio analyst for Root Sports.

  1. Haha, that's vintage Tekulve...on a modern card, but still. Love those Retired Signature cards, great pickup!
