Tabler didn't come by his impressive moniker by chance. He hit a more than respectable .488 (43 for 88) with the bases jammed. Some might call him the Jerry West of baseball. I am just not one of them (West was also known as Mr.Clutch). Tabler currently works as a color commentator for the Toronto Blue Jays.
I can't think of any other examples of random base card additions in the 80's but I am sure there are some. (Maybe Pete Rose had one?)

The first one that I thought of is the "Game Saver Tug McGraw" from the 1981 Fleer set.
I seem to remember a Hershiser card in the late 80's with some text on the front commemorating his scoreless innings streak. In the picture he is juggling baseballs.
