1985 Topps Appreciation:  Joe Lefebvre and Carmelo Martinez just missed being Padres teammates in the mid-1980s.  Lefebvre played in parts of three seasons with the Padres from 1981 to 1983, before the Phillies acquired him in May 1983 for Sid Monge.

Martinez made his debut with the Padres in 1984 and he'd enjoy six seasons in San Diego before signing with the Phillies as a free agent prior to the 1990 season.
