1973 Topps Flashback:  When a guy who went 6-4 with a 4.62 ERA in 18 starts in 1985 is your Diamond King representative in the 1986 Donruss set, your team has issues.  What's worse, is that by the time the 1986 Donruss set was released, Jerry Koosman was long gone, having been released by the Phillies in December 1985.  This is the kind of stuff that really bugged me as a young collector.  

I wrote more about Koosman's career during a 1979 Topps Flashback post last year.
