The company that I work for held their annual Secret Santa gift exchange on Friday afternoon. Being rather new to this workplace, I thought this would be a good opportunity to meet some of the people there that I had yet to be introduced to. Prior to the actual gift exchange, we were asked to fill [...]

1980 Topps – ‘1979 Highlights’ – Card #1
Headline – ‘Brock And Yaz Enter 3000-Hit Circle During The 1979 Campaign’
Text on the back - ‘Lou Brock of the [...]

I can remember going to Cooperstown in the 1980s when my friend Larry
Fritsch was operating his baseball card museum there a couple of blocks away from
the Hall of Fame, and it always seemed like vintage cards and the Hall were made for
each other.
Cards have always been included in the Hall’s archives, but the significant
presentation in ongoing displays has been much more prominent over the last quarter
century than it had been earlier.
That understanding of the baseball card as an important element of the
game’s history has probably never been better illustrated than in the most recent
(Winter 2009) issue of the Hall’s classy Memories and Dreams official magazine.
With – who else? – the T206 Honus on the cover, the issue is almost completely
devoted to all things cardboard, save for the wrap-up from the 2009 Hall of Fame Induction
Weekend.
There are articles on the Wagner card – the Hall owns two of them, both
from Barry Halper via different routes – and Jefferson Burdick, a sidebar
detailing the museum’s handling of its 135,000-card stash, a great feature by our
own Marty Appel on another SCD favorite son, Sy Berger, and even a lavishly
illustrated piece on Hall of Famers’ recollections of their own cards.
That would seem to be what my grandmother used to describe as “an elegant
sufficiency,” but there are also stories about baseball card portraiture, the famed
1933 Goudey Nap Lajoie card, a feature about a unique baseball-card artist, and a
wonderful glimpse of “A village flipped for cards,” taking you on a brief sortie downtown
in the village where cards and memorabilia are just about everywhere.
It’s hard for me to picture anyone even remotely interested in cards
and/or memorabilia not wanting to take a look at this.
Simple enough: go to www.baseballhalloffame.org,
or call (888) 425-5633.

Over the years, many manufacturers have created Christmas themed cards. Some were made available to the public through packs, and others were provided only to company employees but slowly made their way on to the secondary market. Some of these cards are more collectible than others. If you ask collectors what they think of Christmas [...]
