The monthly local card show has once more come and gone. There is only a handful of dealers each month and the flow of new cards to buy is dwindling. I think they sell more to each other than they do to the public. I often see cards go from one dealer to the next [...]

I chose 27 players from each Major League Franchise. Why 27? 9-pocket pages, of course. I only considered stats for that franchise therefore some elite players appear on multiple teams. I always included MVPs and CY award winners (mainly because I also…

Jackson Riggs Stephenson was born in 1898 in Akron, Alabama. An excellent and natural athlete, Stephenson wound up at the University of Alabama. It was there that he excelled, not only at baseball, but football as well. One of the first two-sport colle…

On nearly every card I’ve seen of Terrell, he looks about 5′6″. This one is no exception. And of course, it surprised me to find out he’s listed at 6′2″. I didn’t like Topps’ choice for the logo for Detroit. I much prefer the “D” to the silly tiger hea…

Blech. I hate this shot. Aldrete looks like he’s trying to be model here. I’m assuming the photographer was female. Plus, Topps cut off the tip of the barrel of the bat. I’m getting really sick of their cropping decisions.Aldrete was another one of tho…

‘Same Card, Different Paths’ – Card #30
1964 Topps - Card #167 – AKA – ‘The Lou Piniella Rookie Card’
Mike Brumley – Playing just 3 seasons with 224 games played, Brumley had a hard time keeping the starting job he had during his rookie campaign. Primarily due to offense, the Washington Senators turned to other players that were able [...]

FINALLY! Thank you, Topps, for giving us a full body shot. Hough looks like, well, Hough in this shot, just finishing his release on that knuckler he threw for 25 seasons. The photo gives us a nice look at the stirrups and the “TEXAS” across the jersey…

Lonnie Smith is officially the happiest guy in the set. And why not? His card is balanced and fun. Except for the guy’s head in the background.Lonnie Smith was an underrated player. He hit for average, got on base, swiped bags, and even almost won an M…

I don’t know what anyone else thinks, but this doesn’t look like LaRussa to me. The stubble, the lack of glasses…just looks like a different guy. And what the heck is he looking at? Is someone injecting someone with something?Few managers have had as…

Decent shot during what looks like pre-inning warmup tosses. The apathetic look on Swift’s face gives that away. The photo gives us a good look at those old Seattle unis with the blue and yellow stripes and a hint of that ugly “Mariners” typeface on th…

No, that’s not a stain running down Sullivan’s leg, it’s a stain on the card. So that’s why I’m not commenting on it. Even though I just did. This is a pretty boring shot, as the five people in the stands clearly understand.Sullivan did absolutely noth…

“Hi, Mrs. Johanssen, I’m here to clean the pool.” Browning looks like quite the athlete in this photo, doesn’t he? Ignoring his pudginess, it’s actually a decent photo. Lots of red and white and even a guy way in the background with a red jacket on. Pl…

Welcome to the time before Photoshop. What a terrible airbrushing job this is. It looks like Spilman is poking his head out of a cumulus cloud. Aside from that, this card goes into the “Guys Who Look Like They’re Pitchers But Aren’t” category. I honest…

Okay, so there’s already been a lot of talk about the newest nominees for induction into Cooperstown in 2010. Two of the most talked about nominees are Roberto Alomar and Barry Larkin. It seems that according to most baseball writers, there is only one shoe-in for induction. However, in this writer’s humble opinion, there should [...]
