When I first started this blog I was planning on sorting all my 70's and 80's cards and filling in some gaps and letting it be at that. Then I started buying some cards on eBay and then a few more and next thing you know I have piles of cards I haven't even looked at while my old cards are being neglected (not that they aren't already used to that). So while I am still turn my nose up at "relic cards", I think some of the insert sets are really tempting. Then I made the mistake of buying some of the Topps Heritage cards to see what all of the fuss was about. Boy, those are cool! The photography suffers a bit with the intentionally retro look, but the cards "feel" so thick and substantial. The backs of the cards are really interesting. And there are only 10 years of cards, so it is conceivable to collect them all, right? Not so fast... It turns out (which is news to no one but totally out of touch me) that a large minority of the cards are hard to find (intentionally short-printed) to drive the chase and thus sell more cards (obviously!) Then there are the "Chrome" sets, which are even harder to find without buying huge amounts of packs, or scouring eBay and emptying your wallet.<br /> <br /> So is card collecting too complicated? Is it ruined? I don't think so. I think the last 10 years must have woken up the card <strike>companies</strike> company. The cards have vastly improved, the subsets are (mostly) great. And there is something to stimulate everyone, from the base sets all the way to the "master" sets and then even more with parallel sets, autographs, etc. I don't like the feeling of never being able to "finish" your set, but I think the variety more than makes up for it. I for one find card collecting a lot more fun with all the new options.<br /> <br /> I also am greatly relieved to find Topps as the sole baseball card producer. I never really like Fleer/Donruss/Score etc. and resented Upper Deck for being "better" and making me feel that Topps was old-fashioned and stodgy. I don't miss that at all.<br /> <br /> I am going to try to make lists of "wants" and "doubles" for trading, which I would love to see pick up again. Send me your lists! Look at mine and feel free to contact me...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6434476798161215380-2880827723966301982?l=toppsbaseball.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/vPQQgVydGwQELrXyyFcN5mHbwFo/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/vPQQgVydGwQELrXyyFcN5mHbwFo/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/vPQQgVydGwQELrXyyFcN5mHbwFo/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/vPQQgVydGwQELrXyyFcN5mHbwFo/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ToppsBaseballCards/~4/_OwU-10wrrU" height="1" width="1"/>Brett for Presidentnoreply@blogger.com1http://toppsbaseball.blogspot.com/2011/06/2011-topps-and-topps-heritage.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434476798161215380.post-13810962516646874012011-06-08T05:42:00.000-07:002011-06-08T05:42:07.259-07:002011-06-08T05:42:07.259-07:00Where has my collection gone?

I really like the 2011 Topps - and the 60 Years of Topps Inserts. The "original back" versions will be the death of me - those are really awesome.<br /> <br /> I just had the 2010 Topps set dropped off by the mailman. I hadn't even seen the cards since last year I was really out of baseball altogether. My first impression was "What happened??" I think the design is terrible. The colored "swoop" on the left of the cards makes the picture look as if someone had their thumb partially over the camera lens, just like a lot of my pictures. The foil print is very hard to read, and the backs of the cards are B-O-R-I-N-G.<br /> <br /> I'm going to do a full review here as soon as I finish looking at all of the cards, but there is already a contender for worst card of the set... Stay tuned.<br /> <br /> Back to a more positive note. Did I mention that I love the 2011 set? I like the diamond parallels, I like the Kimball Champions (though I am not sure why there is a checklist on the back of every single one - that was the best idea they had?). I don't know if my wallet will withstand my enthusiasm, but I just gotta finish this one and the Sixty Years of Topps with the original backs. (I already broke down and finished the Series One base set - thank you eBay!)<br /> <br /> Well, that's all for now - if anyone is still around from 2 years ago, drop in and say "hi" and I'll try to reciprocate. That is all.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6434476798161215380-42822337196513189?l=toppsbaseball.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/fOrUk00XBKZutO87gHeCup26dig/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/fOrUk00XBKZutO87gHeCup26dig/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/fOrUk00XBKZutO87gHeCup26dig/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/fOrUk00XBKZutO87gHeCup26dig/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ToppsBaseballCards/~4/hnDiTtQoUZs" height="1" width="1"/>Brett for Presidentnoreply@blogger.com0http://toppsbaseball.blogspot.com/2011/05/im-back-and-recharged.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434476798161215380.post-24681435987305485822011-03-07T18:54:00.000-08:002011-03-07T18:54:21.047-08:002011-03-07T18:54:21.047-08:001 Early Wynn<br /> 2 Roman Mejias<br /> 3 Joe Adcock<br /> 4 Bob Purkey<br /> 5 Wally Moon<br /> 6 Lou Berberet<br /> 7 Master & Mentor<br /> 8 Bud Daley<br /> 9 Faye Throneberry<br /> 10 Ernie Banks<br /> 11 Norm Siebern<br /> 12 Milt Pappas<br /> 13 Wally Post<br /> 14 Jim Grant<br /> 15 Pete Runnels<br /> 16 Ernie Broglio<br /> 17 Johnny Callison<br /> 18 Los Angeles Dodgers Team<br /> 19 Felix Mantilla<br /> 20 Roy Face<br /> 21 Dutch Dotterer<br /> 22 Rocky Bridges<br /> 23 Eddie Fisher<br /> 24 Dick Gray<br /> 25 Roy Sievers<br /> 26 Wayne Terwilliger<br /> 27 Dick Drott<br /> 28 Brooks Robinson<br /> 29 Clem Labine<br /> 30 Tito Francona<br /> 31 Sammy Esposito<br /> 32 Sophomore Stalwarts<br /> 33 Tom Morgan<br /> 34 Sparky Anderson<br /> 35 Whitey Ford<br /> 36 Russ Nixon<br /> 37 Bill Bruton<br /> 38 Jerry Casale<br /> 39 Earl Averill<br /> 40 Joe Cunningham<br /> 41 Barry Latman<br /> 42 Hobie Landrith<br /> 43 Washington Senators Team<br /> 44 Bobby Locke<br /> 45 Roy McMillan<br /> 46 Jerry Fisher<br /> 47 Don Zimmer<br /> 48 Hal Smith<br /> 49 Curt Raydon<br /> 50 Al Kaline<br /> 51 Jim Coates<br /> 52 Dave Philley<br /> 53 Jackie Brandt<br /> 54 Mike Fornieles<br /> 55 Bill Mazeroski<br /> 56 Steve Korcheck<br /> 57 Win Savers<br /> 58 Gino Cimoli<br /> 59 Juan Pizarro<br /> 60 Gus Triandos<br /> 61 Eddie Kasko<br /> 62 Roger Craig<br /> 63 George Strickland<br /> 64 Jack Meyer<br /> 65 Elston Howard<br /> 66 Bob Trowbridge<br /> 67 Jose Pagan<br /> 68 Dave Hillman<br /> 69 Billy Goodman<br /> 70 Lew Burdette<br /> 71 Marty Keough<br /> 72 Detroit Tigers Team<br /> 73 Bob Gibson<br /> 74 Walt Moryn<br /> 75 Vic Power<br /> 76 Bill Fischer<br /> 77 Hank Foiles<br /> 78 Bob Grim<br /> 79 Walt Dropo<br /> 80 Johnny Antonelli<br /> 81 Russ Snyder<br /> 82 Ruben Gomez<br /> 83 Tony Kubek<br /> 84 Hal R.

Perhaps some of these thoughts might also apply to "The Current State of <strong>THE</strong> Hobby". <br /><br />The journey to get back in collecting has been fun and nostalgic as I open box after box of cards that haven't seen the light of day in 15-20 years. It is taking longer than expected now that I've gotten sidetracked by the 2009 Topps cards that were released last month. After buying a "hobby box" and various other loose packs, I've finally completed the 2009 Series One and additionally have small piles of insert cards, "game-used" cards, parallel cards, and miscellaneous duplicates to look at, some better than others. But I have a nagging suspicion that I have been going about collecting the "new" stuff the wrong way.<br /><br />I don't have buyer's remorse, but all of this action in the past month has led me to a realization. It is far, far cheaper just to go to eBay and buy a set of cards than trying to collect a set by buying packs. This may seem obvious to most of you, but the difference between the two methods is astonishing. I may have spent $120-$140 in small increments over the past 6 weeks just to complete half (or a third) of the 2009 Topps set, whereas that same set of cards, minus the duplicates and inserts can be had for less than $20 on eBay, shipping included. And I am fairly certain that by the year end I would be able to buy the entire set of Series 1 and 2 even cheaper.<br /><br />So what do you miss by taking the quick and dirty route to set-building? Well, you certainly miss the thrill of opening a pack of cards, and especially the excitement that your pack might contain (it doesn't) some amazing insert card that MIGHT be valuable or at least entertaining to look at. At least, in theory, that seems like a lot to give up, since that was originally the fun of baseball card collecting. In reality it is completely insane to attempt to complete any insert set simply by buying packs. I have even spent the last few weeks attempting to trade for the last of the 2009 Turkey Red Set (rather, HALF of the Turkey Red Set), which has been interesting, but I am still missing 9 cards, or almost 20%. I am even further from completing any of the other insert sets. It used to feel like cheating to buy a complete set at a card show or on eBay. I was missing out on half the fun of card collecting, right?<br /><br />My experience this month has erased that vague feeling of guilt. A quick perusal of eBay again reveals that these elusive inserts can be bought quickly and in total for less than I have spent so far. What is so insane about not wanting to spend $300+ dollars for a set of baseball cards every year? The joy of collecting for me is to look at the cards, not to tally their total net value in some fanciful Beckett-induced fantasy. Trading is fun, collecting is fun, but SPENDING a lot of money is not always necessary for fun. For the same $300 I could buy the entire 2009 set plus an entire set of cards from the 1970's for instance. Stretching the collecting dollar is totally within the spirit of the hobby in my opinion. I think from now on I am going to be more judicious about where I spend the baseball card dollar. The farther I can stretch it, the better, no? <br /><br />I'm not going to state that Topps has made card collecting too complicated. If the demand is there, than by all means, I hope Topps can supply it and be profitable and the more the better. If the general public wants a bunch of inserts and chase cards to track down and Topps can sell more cards by providing it, then let me step out of the way and let it roll.<br /><br />BUT,<br /><br />There is one area of collecting that I will step up and call madness. I only have had to look at three of these atrocities to know a stupid idea when I see it. Below are three "game-used artifact" cards, or "relics" as they are distastefully called. Would I like a game-used jersey in my collection? Perhaps yes, if it was George Brett's #5 that he wore during one of his campaigns. Probably no if it was a player I had no strong connection with at all. Would I want a tiny piece of George Brett's jersey crammed into a poorly made card with his picture slapped on it? Not at all. Is there really any meaning to be found in a 1" square piece of fabric that looks like every other 1" piece of fabric I've ever seen? How about a bat? Again, not a bad souvenir IF I could actually hold the bat and imagine it being used to strike the decisive blow in a big game at the hands of one my heroes. How about a small sliver of wood that may or may not have at one time been a bat, but looks identical to a sliver of wood that at one time might have been the end of a doorstop in some derelict office complex or housing project? Umm, no thanks.<br /><br />There may be some perceived value in these cards currently, but there will someday be a glut of relic cards so vast and so worthless that it will make the overproduction issues of the 1980's and 1990's seem trivial. At least today, twenty years later, there is still some demand for the cards of that era. Collectors share a common connection with these cards because they are so familiar and easy to obtain. The blogosphere has come alive the past year or two with rhapsodic musings about baseball players and teams of that bygone era simply because there are so many other collectors out there that can appreciate it. They also have had the same thoughts and revels about the same cards and players I had many years ago and can relate to it well. After reading an exceptional post on a blog I actually experience a desire to go look at that card the writer was referencing. <br /><br />How can there be any common connection with a card that is "1/1", or "34/51" or other nonsense? In the future is there going to a blogpost about some rare relic card of a journeyman shortstop that will mean anything if no one else has actually seen or held that card before? If my experience with cards is at all common, than the answer will be "NO". <br /><br />I can fully imagine an eBay auction in 20 years for "800 GU Jersey/Bat Cards - NICE! with a Buy It Now option of $9.99 FREE SHIPPING!" that will end without a sale.<br /><br />This isn't even addressing the depressing thought that actual pieces of history are being destroyed by band saw and fabric shear. Isn't there any better use for a pile of authentic game-worn jerseys and game-used bats than putting them in a proverbial paper-shredder? How about the novel idea of selling the ACTUAL jersey and/or bat? How about random redemption cards that could used to obtain the actual item? Who came up with the crazy idea that the best use of a Major League Baseball player's game bat is the take it the wood shop and hack it into tiny pieces? <br /><br />I think this latest process takes the collector beyond simple fandom and into a semi-religious realm of literal hero-worship. The cards are even called "relics" just like the tiny slivers of bone and hair from the saints contained in the reliquaries of every Medieval cathedral . This level of collecting makes me think more of "creepy" than "cool". Am I alone here?<br /><br />I will be giving away all three cards here, starting with the one and only contributor to my post on the Rickey Henderson card. So, if MMayes of the "1972 Topps Baseball" blog cares to email me, the card of his choice is his. Email me a toppsbaseball at gmail.com. If none of those cards interests you, email me anyway and we can work out another prize. Thanks!<br /><br />One last comment before I go. As I actually look at these cards I am amazed at the craftmanship, or lack thereof, in these cards. Some have loose threads, all have irregular cut mattes surrounding the patch which seems to indicate that it was cut by hand with an exacto knife instead of an automated press. Amazing!<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/Sb3AW0swufI/AAAAAAAAAOY/fMThYAczc9M/s1600-h/martinez.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 288px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/Sb3AW0swufI/AAAAAAAAAOY/fMThYAczc9M/s400/martinez.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313614633703094770" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/Sb3AZgzr0eI/AAAAAAAAAOg/QrjaktNznAY/s1600-h/martinez_back.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 286px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/Sb3AZgzr0eI/AAAAAAAAAOg/QrjaktNznAY/s400/martinez_back.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313614679903031778" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/Sb3APVmP_XI/AAAAAAAAAOI/DV382-dR4mE/s1600-h/granderson.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 286px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/Sb3APVmP_XI/AAAAAAAAAOI/DV382-dR4mE/s400/granderson.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313614505095200114" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/Sb3ATaCNi2I/AAAAAAAAAOQ/pjsASou8_2U/s1600-h/granderson_back.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 287px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/Sb3ATaCNi2I/AAAAAAAAAOQ/pjsASou8_2U/s400/granderson_back.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313614575005698914" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/Sb3AIDgksJI/AAAAAAAAAN4/M8kHGVF_0i8/s1600-h/aviles.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 290px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/Sb3AIDgksJI/AAAAAAAAAN4/M8kHGVF_0i8/s400/aviles.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313614379980468370" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/Sb3ALiqctkI/AAAAAAAAAOA/INbVylriGFI/s1600-h/aviles_back.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 286px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/Sb3ALiqctkI/AAAAAAAAAOA/INbVylriGFI/s400/aviles_back.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313614439882995266" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6434476798161215380-5786573711054774367?l=toppsbaseball.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/j3DrxmtxVToWFWnL-tyucXSlTg8/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/j3DrxmtxVToWFWnL-tyucXSlTg8/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/j3DrxmtxVToWFWnL-tyucXSlTg8/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/j3DrxmtxVToWFWnL-tyucXSlTg8/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ToppsBaseballCards/~4/OmXQXvLRn2s" height="1" width="1"/>Brett for Presidentnoreply@blogger.com9http://toppsbaseball.blogspot.com/2009/03/current-state-of-my-hobby.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434476798161215380.post-16526191227970636352009-03-09T17:43:00.000-07:002009-03-11T20:48:27.674-07:002009-03-11T20:48:27.674-07:00The 1983 Topps Baseball Card set is my favorite set of the 1980's. It is made up of 792 cards, the second year that Topps had expanded the set from 726 cards. Visually the most appealing set of the decade, it is a step up from the 1982 Topps set in production value and miles ahead of the woeful 1981 set. A similar style set was released by Topps in 1984 that didn't catch the eye as well as the Topps 1983 release. After 1984, Topps seems to have let their baseball cards slip in quality with poor designs and unimaginative photography, a trend that would end up costly them dearly a few later as the competition caught up and surpassed them later in the decade.<br /><br />The entire 1983 Topps set was bought for me at a card show in the mid 1980's but I don't remember the price. This set looked great at the time and hasn't lost any of its appeal over time. Like all baseball cards from this era, though, it has lost a lot of its value. This set peaked at around $160.00, but today can be bought on eBay for $20-$40 including delivery.<br /><br />Lets look at the Good, the Bad, and the rest of this set.<br /><br /><strong>The Good</strong><br /><br />One aspect of the 1983 Topps card that was innovative and new was the inclusion of a small portrait photo in the lower right or left corner. This allowed Topps to include far more action photography in the main photo without neglecting the traditional head shot. Some of the best Topps cards of the 1980's utilize this feature quite well.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/SbXFiXeT0kI/AAAAAAAAALY/YjkbWWNYOBw/s1600-h/ozzie_smith83.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 287px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/SbXFiXeT0kI/AAAAAAAAALY/YjkbWWNYOBw/s400/ozzie_smith83.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311368529760735810" /></a><br /><br />Card #540 Ozzie Smith is a great example of the new design and its improved photography. It is also one of my favorite baseball cards overall probably because the gold chain suspended in mid-air around Ozzie's neck gives the photo such a sense of motion.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/SbXJaBBOI2I/AAAAAAAAALw/GJcGcEbNQPE/s1600-h/joe_morgan83sv.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 286px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/SbXJaBBOI2I/AAAAAAAAALw/GJcGcEbNQPE/s400/joe_morgan83sv.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311372784340706146" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/SbXJgdmm0dI/AAAAAAAAAL4/QgnvNh7qAF8/s1600-h/joe_morgan83svback.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 285px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/SbXJgdmm0dI/AAAAAAAAAL4/QgnvNh7qAF8/s400/joe_morgan83svback.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311372895092920786" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/SbXXiSv6nhI/AAAAAAAAANw/KplBZdbSoCU/s1600-h/pete_rose83sv.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 287px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/SbXXiSv6nhI/AAAAAAAAANw/KplBZdbSoCU/s400/pete_rose83sv.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311388319701704210" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/SbXJzIsGkRI/AAAAAAAAAMQ/EwZxg03JwX4/s1600-h/pete_rose83svback.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 286px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/SbXJzIsGkRI/AAAAAAAAAMQ/EwZxg03JwX4/s400/pete_rose83svback.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311373215896342802" /></a><br /><br />Card #604 Joe Morgan Super Veteran and card #101 Pete Rose Super Veteran are great examples of my favorite of the subsets Topps included in most of their 1980's sets. I really like the Joe Morgan card because, as you can see in the photo on the left, he is wearing a Houston Colt .45's uniform. I don't have any Colt .45's cards unless you count this one. The backs of these cards really stand out from the typical written copy that Topps slapped on most of their cards. Instead of "Had 13th-inning Single for game-winning RBI, 5-29-82" like you find on Ryne Sandberg's #83 Rookie Card, the Super Veterans set gives you a wonderful rundown of the player's career and accomplishments including their all-time rankings and awards. Way to go, Topps!<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/SbXKNuPdOnI/AAAAAAAAAM4/Uk1WZVjDBJY/s1600-h/LL_stolen_base83.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 287px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/SbXKNuPdOnI/AAAAAAAAAM4/Uk1WZVjDBJY/s400/LL_stolen_base83.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311373672653339250" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/SbXKZODQK0I/AAAAAAAAANA/HU3dSJAm3Bc/s1600-h/LL_stolen_base83back.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 287px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/SbXKZODQK0I/AAAAAAAAANA/HU3dSJAm3Bc/s400/LL_stolen_base83back.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311373870170647362" /></a><br /><br />The League Leader cards from 1983 are fairly typical, but card #704 is just amazing. It features Rickey Henderson's 130 stolen bases - the single season record that still stands and probably always will. Rickey's photo is slightly out of focus, but perhaps that's because he never stood still long enough for Topps to get a good shot that year. Second place with fewer than half of Rickey's total was Damaso Garcia and even the National League Leader, Tim Raines, trailed by 52 stolen bases.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/SbXPI1ArkAI/AAAAAAAAANY/gY5XRB9hcvY/s1600-h/robin_yount83.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 286px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/SbXPI1ArkAI/AAAAAAAAANY/gY5XRB9hcvY/s400/robin_yount83.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311379086129205250" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/SbXJRIinsMI/AAAAAAAAALo/dNjF2BG-Xps/s1600-h/phil_garner83.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 286px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/SbXJRIinsMI/AAAAAAAAALo/dNjF2BG-Xps/s400/phil_garner83.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311372631741018306" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/SbXJ-yGRJNI/AAAAAAAAAMg/MD1Qeie1tdg/s1600-h/chris_speier83.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 288px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/SbXJ-yGRJNI/AAAAAAAAAMg/MD1Qeie1tdg/s400/chris_speier83.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311373415990502610" /></a><br /><br /><br />Cards #350 Robin Yount, #478 Phil Garner, and #768 Chris Speier are some more great examples of the improved action poses Topps captured in this set. Two of the cards also capture one of my favorite aspects of a card when there are additional players featured in the photo. In this case, it appears that Phil Garner has failed to stop the sliding Lenny Faedo, who wore #12 for the Twins, whereas in the last card, Chris Speier is tagging out the Dodger's Derrel Thomas, wearing #30.<br /><br /><strong>The Bad</strong><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/SbXKDvghPGI/AAAAAAAAAMo/pHzmRziJkWM/s1600-h/bryan_clark83.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 284px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/SbXKDvghPGI/AAAAAAAAAMo/pHzmRziJkWM/s400/bryan_clark83.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311373501194648674" /></a><br /><br />Card #789 Bryan Clark has long been one of of the most memorable cards in the 1983 set, but not exactly in any flattering way. Clark's facial expression captured by the Topps photographer would certainly not have caused any trepidation in the batters he might have faced that day. That, or Godzilla just stepped up to the plate. I have just never understood how photos like this make it past a final review before going to press.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/SbXJ3ZzyFvI/AAAAAAAAAMY/JUFxqlAxCPY/s1600-h/nolan_ryan83.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 285px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/SbXJ3ZzyFvI/AAAAAAAAAMY/JUFxqlAxCPY/s400/nolan_ryan83.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311373289211434738" /></a><br /><br />Card #360 Nolan Ryan is one of the most mundane cards I've ever seen of the Ryan Express and probably just a more traditional portrait would have been better.<br /><br /><strong>The Rest...</strong><br /><br />The 1983 Topps Traded Set is the standard 132 card set and features the rookie cards of Julio Franco and Darryl Strawberry.<br /><br />Significant cards from this set.<br /><br />#83 Ryne Sandberg RC<br />#100 Pete Rose<br />#163 Cal Ripken<br />#360 Nolan Ryan<br />#482 Tony Gwynn RC<br />#498 Wade Boggs RC<br />#34T - Julio Franco RC<br />#108T - Darryl Strawberry RC<br /><br /><strong>Overall</strong><br /><br />This is a very strong set from Topps for the 1980's, definitely in the top 2 of the decade. The use of two photographs on each card certainly foreshadowed the rise of Upper Deck with its improved production values in the 1990's. Why Topps got away from a real winning design that it had in 1983 I've never been sure, but it would take Topps enormous effort and time to regain the lead from the competition that it squandered in the early 1980's<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6434476798161215380-1652619122797063635?l=toppsbaseball.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/XRIRrGS74JJ-snzUlAdOIL3ziBw/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/XRIRrGS74JJ-snzUlAdOIL3ziBw/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/XRIRrGS74JJ-snzUlAdOIL3ziBw/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/XRIRrGS74JJ-snzUlAdOIL3ziBw/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ToppsBaseballCards/~4/-1ltaYlP-hQ" height="1" width="1"/>Brett for Presidentnoreply@blogger.com4http://toppsbaseball.blogspot.com/2009/03/1983-topps-review.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434476798161215380.post-17485612555462272742009-03-08T15:01:00.000-07:002009-03-08T18:45:42.529-07:002009-03-08T18:45:42.529-07:00This 1978 Joe Morgan is one of my original baseball cards, which is part of a pile that includes the 1978 George Brett in my profile. Unfortunately, someone took a hatchet to this card. And unfortunately, that someone was me. I do remember, however how it happened. The upper left corner of this card had gotten bent and, even at a young age, I had realized that might detract from the desirability (and thus, tradability) of the card. To correct this problem I simply took a pair of scissors and trimmed the edge off with the defective corner. But now the border on the top was uneven with the side. I had to trim the same amount off of the left edge, then a bit more...<br /><br />When I dug this card out of its shoebox I just cracked up. I remember thinking that this card looked pretty good immediately after I had finished doctoring it. In hindsight, it looked more like Ralphie's glasses in "A Christmas Story" after he had shot his eye out with his BB gun. I can't remember if I had actually offered this card as tradebait or not, but I can imagine the response it might have generated from the school bus crowd.<br /><br />Now this card is worth more as a laugh then as a baseball card but I wouldn't part with it for anything.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/SbPr_CjNzSI/AAAAAAAAALI/_uFMnid6Jwk/s1600-h/joe_morgan78.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 290px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/SbPr_CjNzSI/AAAAAAAAALI/_uFMnid6Jwk/s400/joe_morgan78.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310847853848808738" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6434476798161215380-1748561255546227274?l=toppsbaseball.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/lg1st_ceclnnwAuPBPpsEaOky-Y/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/lg1st_ceclnnwAuPBPpsEaOky-Y/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/lg1st_ceclnnwAuPBPpsEaOky-Y/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/lg1st_ceclnnwAuPBPpsEaOky-Y/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ToppsBaseballCards/~4/Ind2tr7_Rak" height="1" width="1"/>Brett for Presidentnoreply@blogger.com2http://toppsbaseball.blogspot.com/2009/03/my-1978-joe-morgan-baseball-card.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434476798161215380.post-78328636119734820942009-03-08T08:38:00.000-07:002009-03-08T09:01:24.167-07:002009-03-08T09:01:24.167-07:00On many occasions I have seen the power of the Internet come to life when a blogger is stumped as to the identity of certain players in the background of cards, what set a card belongs to, or various other obscure minutiae that is part of the allure of baseball and baseball card collecting. Invariably another reader is able to fill in the missing information just because the internet has such far reaching exposure to so many people with the same interests but different backgrounds. <br /><br />Let's test the power of the Internet. Below is a 1991 Topps Rickey Henderson card #391. I have determined that he sliding back into first base. It isn't second base because I am assuming you would be able to see home plate in the background from that angle if Rickey was at second. If it was third base, you should see the outfield in the background and that isn't the case either. What I am trying to figure out is who is applying the tag during the pick-off attempt? My guess is Frank Thomas. He had just started playing first base for Chicago in 1990, which would make him one of 13 American League candidates since I can assume Rickey is not being tagged by Mark McGwire, his Oakland teammate. The black armband is something I kind of remember Frank Thomas wearing and that would be the right color to be a White Sox. The size of the biceps and the color of the skin look right too. I don't think he looks like Cecil Fielder or Fred McGriff, but I can't tell for sure.<br /><br />OK, Internet, do your thing. Who is the first baseman in this picture? If we have a winner, there may be a prize which I have yet to determine, but stay tuned... Bonus points if you can convince me as to where this game is being played.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/SbPmpTssFSI/AAAAAAAAALA/IupmD5lk5cg/s1600-h/rickey_henderson91.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 282px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/SbPmpTssFSI/AAAAAAAAALA/IupmD5lk5cg/s400/rickey_henderson91.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310841982936683810" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6434476798161215380-7832863611973482094?l=toppsbaseball.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/wZQI5WJHwQ17MvG3DY5-ojkJHzQ/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/wZQI5WJHwQ17MvG3DY5-ojkJHzQ/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/wZQI5WJHwQ17MvG3DY5-ojkJHzQ/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/wZQI5WJHwQ17MvG3DY5-ojkJHzQ/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ToppsBaseballCards/~4/GznQHjb7B48" height="1" width="1"/>Brett for Presidentnoreply@blogger.com2http://toppsbaseball.blogspot.com/2009/03/testing-power-of-internet.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434476798161215380.post-57892350770358328532009-03-07T09:38:00.000-08:002009-03-08T10:57:23.999-07:002009-03-08T10:57:23.999-07:00When I started this blog just a short while ago, I had no idea people traded baseball cards on the Internet. I put a few "Want Lists" up on the site, but figured it would be mostly for me to keep track of my collection. Then Ben, from <a href="http://1988score.blogspot.com">1988 Score</a> sent a few cards to me out of the blue and helped finish a couple of sets! Thanks again, Ben. This blog has enabled me to meet many great people with the same interests and are all happy to help out a fellow baseball card nut. So far I've completed trades with <a href="http://1988score.blogspot.com">1988 Score</a>, <a href="http://borosny.blogspot.com">Baseball Cards Come to Life</a>, <a href="http://nightowlcards.blogspot.com">Night Owl Cards</a>, Shane, a reader from Massachusetts, and James, a reader from Maryland. I want to thank everyone who has taken the time and effort to actually mail baseball cards to me. I want to especially thanks James from Maryland. He just sent me 167 cards I was missing from my 1980 Topps set. Wow, I just got them in the mail yesterday. These cards are awesome! I'm down to just missing 203 cards, so James almost cut the list in half all by himself. Picture below are the James' cards just after I opened the package...<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/SbKxI5IzxrI/AAAAAAAAAKw/QLyfA50B5UY/s1600-h/james.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 318px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/SbKxI5IzxrI/AAAAAAAAAKw/QLyfA50B5UY/s400/james.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310501676958074546" /></a><br /><br />In addition to this blog, it turns out there are other ways to trade baseball cards over the internet. Websites like <a href="http://www.sportscardforum.com">Sports Card Forum</a>, where I have traded about 10 times under the name "brettforpresident", allow members to arrange trades with other members in a suprisingly organized fashion. Worked really well with the current 2009 Topps set, though not too sure if it would be as easy to find traders for my older sets.<br /><br />So what all of this has made me realize is I've got to not only organize my sets, but start compiling a list of all my doubles so I can do a better job of helping out some collectors myself. For the years that I just bought the factory set, I probably don't have a lot of doubles, but many years I have stacks of lonely doubles that would probably love a new home. I guess this project isn't over quite yet...<br /><br />One last thing, when I made the want lists, I just used a copy of my checklist and made the missing cards stand out in bold. Looks very pretty, but may not be as useful as just a written list. I'll be working on a master list written out the traditional way with both the wants and trade bait included.<br /><br />Anyways, thanks again!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6434476798161215380-5789235077035832853?l=toppsbaseball.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/X_a0_K3Vc-vQX6kuZhYgJ_tRY2s/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/X_a0_K3Vc-vQX6kuZhYgJ_tRY2s/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/X_a0_K3Vc-vQX6kuZhYgJ_tRY2s/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/X_a0_K3Vc-vQX6kuZhYgJ_tRY2s/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ToppsBaseballCards/~4/O_B8aLYM6jU" height="1" width="1"/>Brett for Presidentnoreply@blogger.com3http://toppsbaseball.blogspot.com/2009/03/trading-baseball-cards-on-internet.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434476798161215380.post-86775051153127073332009-03-02T18:51:00.000-08:002009-03-08T20:12:54.969-07:002009-03-08T20:12:54.969-07:00The 1991 Topps Baseball Set consists of 792 ignored and unappreciated baseball cards. I barely remember buying the factory set in the mid 1990's and probably only looked at some of the key cards if at all before closing the box and setting it down on a shelf in the basement for the next 15 years. My enthusiasm for this set dwindled even further once it became clear that it would never appreciate in value. Even eBay auctions for $0.99 for the entire set occasionally end up without a bid. You can buy a brand new, unopened set for $8-$10. I can't remember what I paid for mine. <br /><br />That all changed once I actually got the cards out, sorted them and put them into their own binder. As I really looked at the cards I realized that Topps actually did a good job with this set. Yes, it is still on the old-fashioned cardboard in 1991, while Upper Deck had been putting out glossy cards on attractive whiteboard for 3 years that were far superior in production value. And yes, even stodgy old Topps was branching out with the costier Stadium Club set, but there is a lot to like in these cards.<br /><br />Compared to the fairly routine or even mundane portraits of previous years, 1991 marks a start of better photography with more inventive poses and much better action shots. There are quite a few cards that stand out in this set if you don't let the fact that they aren't worth anything dampen your perspective.<br /><br />1991 also witnessed a return to putting the player's position on the front of the card. This had been done away by Topps from 1987-1990 and was a source of irritation to me. Did Topps assume every kid knows the position of 700+ players by heart? A simple two letters gives a lot of information in a small space and I was pleased to see it reappear in the bottom left corner of the 1991 set. <br /><br />Let's look at the Good, the Bad, and all the rest of this set...<br /><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>The Good<br /></strong></span><br /><br /><p><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/Sayk-aWETNI/AAAAAAAAAI4/uS4VA90HDXU/s1600-h/waltweiss91.jpg"><img id="Card #455 Walt Weiss" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 285px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/Sayk-aWETNI/AAAAAAAAAI4/uS4VA90HDXU/s400/waltweiss91.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Card #455 Walt Weiss is one of my favorite cards of the set and pretty much sums up what is great about this set. I can't imagine getting a better action shot than here with Weiss elevating over the oncoming Joel Skinner to complete a double play. The flying dirt is seen in vivid detail without any blurring and I especially like that Topps let some of the action extend outside the frame in a lot of its cards.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/SaypiL5fnKI/AAAAAAAAAJA/ej3LxUAf_Pw/s1600-h/benny_santiago91.jpg"><img id="Card #760 Benny Santiago" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 283px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/SaypiL5fnKI/AAAAAAAAAJA/ej3LxUAf_Pw/s400/benny_santiago91.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Card #760 Benny Santiago is the centerpiece of the set and is another action shot that I really like. Notice that the frame covers the catcher's mask on the right while on the left Santiago's arm seems to be reaching out of the card giving the viewer the sense of depth. While this pose is obviously a bit more staged than the previous card of Walt Weiss, it is one of the best portraits I've ever seen.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/SaytYtH8LfI/AAAAAAAAAJI/OF6UTx7UbpQ/s1600-h/roger_clemens91.jpg"><img id="Card #530 Roger Clemens" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 289px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/SaytYtH8LfI/AAAAAAAAAJI/OF6UTx7UbpQ/s400/roger_clemens91.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Card #530 depicts a younger Roger Clemens posing against the Fenway Park outfield scoreboard. The pose just seems iconic to have the Rocket posed next to the words "STRIKE OUT". I was never a fan of Roger Clemens, but he almost seems likable depicted in this manner.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/Sa8dR_xFrxI/AAAAAAAAAJo/oQUO7kxjhPE/s1600-h/nolan_ryan_91.jpg"><img id="Card #1 Roger Clemens" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 283px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/Sa8dR_xFrxI/AAAAAAAAAJo/oQUO7kxjhPE/s400/nolan_ryan_91.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Card #1 of the 1991 Topps Set again featured Nolan Ryan. This pose is by far the best shot Topps ever took of the Ryan Express and captures perfectly the delivery that produced 100 mph fastballs for 27 years.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/Sa84_zUbPwI/AAAAAAAAAJw/jgPaZnrnPZw/s1600-h/wade_boggs91.jpg"><img id="Card #450 Wade Boggs" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 277px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/Sa84_zUbPwI/AAAAAAAAAJw/jgPaZnrnPZw/s400/wade_boggs91.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Card #450 at first looks as if Wade Boggs is standing in front of those ridiculous grey felt studio backdrops. Further inspection actually reveals a grey sky with menacing storm clouds ominously hovering over a towering Boggs. Not my favorite card of the set, and the pose is more appropriate for a power hitter, but if I try to imagine that the clouds are real and hanging over Fenway Park, then the cards becomes a bit more bearable.<br /><br /><strong>The Bad</strong><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/Sa9DRzqNquI/AAAAAAAAAJ4/qmX6lBK2bYo/s1600-h/jeff_mcknight91.jpg"><img id="Card #319 Jeff McKnight" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 281px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/Sa9DRzqNquI/AAAAAAAAAJ4/qmX6lBK2bYo/s400/jeff_mcknight91.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />How bad would you feel if you worked to make it to the Major Leagues and this turned out to be your rookie card? He looks just like a little kid trying on his daddy's work clothes. His helmet looks too big, his glasses look WAY too big, and he just looks out of place. His jersey even looks fake though it is probably a practice jersey. I wish someone at Topps, while proofing this set prior to production would have been able to realize that this card looked ridiculous and simply chose a different photo. Was there really only one photo of Jeff McKnight?<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/Sa9NXmkJa9I/AAAAAAAAAKY/8TlCQhX8WjM/s1600-h/robin_ventura91.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309547553577593810" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 275px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/Sa9NXmkJa9I/AAAAAAAAAKY/8TlCQhX8WjM/s400/robin_ventura91.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/Sa9NSvh0baI/AAAAAAAAAKQ/e-cviivX0B4/s1600-h/jack_mcdowell91.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309547470084402594" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 285px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/Sa9NSvh0baI/AAAAAAAAAKQ/e-cviivX0B4/s400/jack_mcdowell91.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I think more than one photo taken on "Turn Back the Clock" Day at Comiskey Park is a bad choice. Overuse a gimmick and it loses its appeal. Also, look at Robin Ventura's expression - looks like he is in pain or constipated. Again, Topps could have tried a bit harder to flatter it subjects with its photos instead of just slapping the first photo they come across on the card.<br /><br /><strong>The Rest...</strong><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/Sa9Oyqs-lMI/AAAAAAAAAKg/f9OY-_ObNa8/s1600-h/sc000a7b69_2_2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309549118056469698" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 284px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/Sa9Oyqs-lMI/AAAAAAAAAKg/f9OY-_ObNa8/s400/sc000a7b69_2_2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The backs of the cards are nothing special, but I have always been loyal to Topps in part because the "Complete Major League Pitching Record (League Leader In Italics, Tie <>)". They have thankfully never deviated from this practice and hopefully never will.<br /><br />The traded set consists of the standard 132 cards released later in 1991 and have the same design as the base set except that they are printed on slightly different card stock (which I have never understood) and the backs are lighter in color.<br /><br />Significant cards from this set:<br /><br />#113 Carl Everett RC<br />#333 Chipper Jones RC<br />#4T Jeff Bagwell RC<br />#45T Jason Giambi RC<br />#101T Ivan Rodriguez RC<br /> </p><br /><br /><p><strong>Overall</strong><br /><br />This set has gotten a lot better with age even though its value hasn't. I really like what Topps did with the upgraded photography. 1991 is miles ahead of the 1987-1990 era and overall I give the set 3 1/2 stars.</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6434476798161215380-8677505115312707333?l=toppsbaseball.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/8WVFkpDn6O3viCvbWx3a_LJ5fdE/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/8WVFkpDn6O3viCvbWx3a_LJ5fdE/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/8WVFkpDn6O3viCvbWx3a_LJ5fdE/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/8WVFkpDn6O3viCvbWx3a_LJ5fdE/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ToppsBaseballCards/~4/JqmGr7zAwns" height="1" width="1"/>Brett for Presidentnoreply@blogger.com3http://toppsbaseball.blogspot.com/2009/03/1991-topps-review.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434476798161215380.post-66992654000996277532009-03-02T17:06:00.000-08:002009-03-02T17:28:42.331-08:002009-03-02T17:28:42.331-08:00So, am I getting organized or just getting sidetracked by all the new 2009 Topps baseball cards? Well, both, it turns out. <br /><br />What do I have organized?<br /><br />1978 Topps - still in the box, but due up next.<br />1979 Topps - in an album and missing only 10 cards<br />1980 Topps - still in the box and only 50% complete<br />1981 Topps - complete and in an album<br />1982 Topps - in an album and missing only a few cards!<br />1983 Topps - complete and in an album<br />1984 Topps - complete and in an album<br />1985 Topps - complete and in an album<br />1986 Topps - still in the box and only about half complete.<br />1987 Topps - complete and in an album<br />1988 Topps - complete and in an album<br />1989 Topps - complete but still in the box<br />1990 Topps - complete and in an album<br />1991 Topps - complete and in an album<br />1992 Topps - complete and in an album<br />1993 Topps - about 80% complete and still in a box<br />1994 Topps - complete and in an album<br />1995-2004 Topps - don't have any of these cards (except maybe a stray or 2)<br />2005 Topps - complete and in an album<br />2006 Topps - complete and in an album<br />2007 Topps - complete and in an album<br />2008 Topps - complete and in an album<br />2009 Topps - complete and in an album (series 1 only)<br /><br />After all of this work, I still have quite a few loose cards, but they have been consolidated into 2 large 5000 count boxes instead of scattered shoeboxes and most are organized. I seem to have picked up about 2000 miscellaneous Score and Donruss cards and I haven't even looked at them yet. The rest are sorted by year and number in a fairly orderly fashion and as you can see, only two sets are complete or almost complete and still waiting on an album (which I still have to buy...)<br /><br />I have also started going through all of the loose cards and creating a list of all the doubles in hope that some day I can post the list here to help find some of them a new home...<br /><br />For those of you who have unorganized baseball card collections, my advice is to get organized now before you reach a point of no return. Once you have 20,000 loose baseball cards you are looking at weeks, not days, of sorting. I actually enjoyed most of the sorting except it is tough on your back if you do it on the floor like I did and if I had known how long it was going to take I probably would have hesitated and never gotten started.<br /><br />Once I finish this I am going to buy a set from 1995-2004 every couple of months and keep going. Once 1995-2004 is complete I'll start going back to pre-1978 and start filling in the missing cards.<br /><br />Getting a complete set into a binder gives me a whole new appreciation for some of these cards.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6434476798161215380-6699265400099627753?l=toppsbaseball.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/g7rmd3TlUMMyWBz8bHJGW5WCs1Y/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/g7rmd3TlUMMyWBz8bHJGW5WCs1Y/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/g7rmd3TlUMMyWBz8bHJGW5WCs1Y/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/g7rmd3TlUMMyWBz8bHJGW5WCs1Y/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ToppsBaseballCards/~4/1UcaMRxwvYI" height="1" width="1"/>Brett for Presidentnoreply@blogger.com1http://toppsbaseball.blogspot.com/2009/03/progress-report.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434476798161215380.post-10151199147932633952009-02-08T07:35:00.000-08:002009-02-26T20:04:04.415-08:002009-02-26T20:04:04.415-08:002009 Want list<br /><br />Cards I need are in <b><span style="color:000000;">black</span></b><br />Cards I have are in <span style="color:D4D4D4;">grey</span><br /><br /><em><span style="color:FF3030;">updated February 23, 2009</span></em><br /><br />Thanks much to Ben at <a href="http://1988score.blogspot.com/">1988 Score</a> for sending me cards #145 and #227.

If you didn't already know, you can probably correctly guess it's Gary Gaetti with 7. But I'll get back to that in a moment.<br /><br />On May 15, 1994 the Kansas City Royals retired George Brett's number 5 during a pre-game ceremony. I was living in Kansas City at the time and was able to see many of George Brett's final games. That next spring I made the short trek to Kauffman Stadium to witness a bit of Royals history, to see George Brett one last time. Of course I stayed for the game and got to witness something that borders on amazing unless you know a bit of the background.<br /><br />In the third inning, with runners on first and second with nobody out Geronimo Berroa hit a sharp grounder right down the third base line which was snared by Gaetti who fired to Terry Shumpert at second who relayed the throw to Wally Joyner at first for a routine double play. But wait, the Royals are running off the field - it wasn't a double play at all - it was a TRIPLE PLAY! When Gaetti came up with the ball, he was already positioned on third base for the first out, it just happened so fast I hadn't noticed initially. <br /><br />After the game I remember an interview with Gaetti stating that whenever there were runners on first and second with nobody out, he played on the third base line LOOKING FOR THE PERFECT GROUNDER TO START A TRIPLE PLAY! When he scoops up the ball, he doesn't have to go far to get the force out which allows enough time to complete the throw to second. Gary Gaetti played every game of his career looking for a triple play! Just how effective was Gaetti at getting the elusive triple play? Between 1982 and 1994 there were 25 triple plays in the major leagues started by third basemen - seven of which were initiated by none other than Gary Gaetti. In other words, 28% of all triple plays started by third basemen (and 14% of ALL triple plays total) during that time period were a result of Gary Gaetti hugging the third base line looking for the opportunity. In fact, on July 17, 1990, Gary Gaetti was able to perform the feat TWICE in one game - something that had never been accomplished before and has never been repeated.<br /><br />Two years later and Gaetti was granted free agency and his Royals days were over. The next time I got to see him play was in the 1996 NLCS when Gaetti was playing for the Cardinals. Batting fifth, he put the Cardinals ahead for good in the 7th inning when he hit a grand slam -- the first and only grand slam Greg Maddux had ever given up spanning his entire career up to that point.<br /><br />I don't really have the words to describe Gaetti's style adequately, but that pretty much sums up how intense he approached the game. Perhaps I'll leave you with perhaps the strangest, tackiest website ever dedicated to a Major League Baseball player (and I mean that in the nicest way possible). It's just one of those oddities that make the internet the place that it is and is how I started thinking about Gary Gaetti again a decade after he retired. So without further ado, let me present the <a href="http://www.garygaetti.com/">The Gary Gaetti Cult</a><br /><br />Once you have recovered enough from that, here is a <a href="http://tripleplays.sabr.org/tp_pos5.htm">list</a> of all the triple plays since 1876 involving third basemen, and in which Gary Gaetti plays such a disproportionate part. <br /><br />Whatever happened to Gary Gaetti? From Baseball-Reference.com:<br /><blockquote>Since retiring as a player, Gaetti coached in the minors with the New Orleans Zephyrs from 2002 to 2004. From 2004 to 2006, he was the Houston Astros hitting coach. Following the 2006 season, Gaetti was named hitting coach of the Durham Bulls. Gaetti's son, Joe, played baseball for NC State and now plays in the Colorado Rockies farm system. </blockquote><br />I think I am going to start something new on my blog. Whenever I feature a player on "Whatever happened to..." I am going to try to track down that player's current status and try to get an autographed card. I won't disclose his current address, but if I have success I'll let you know...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6434476798161215380-201252440514787135?l=toppsbaseball.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Mw7OLOMHgG9dPeP9EIu22UMmHwI/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Mw7OLOMHgG9dPeP9EIu22UMmHwI/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Mw7OLOMHgG9dPeP9EIu22UMmHwI/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Mw7OLOMHgG9dPeP9EIu22UMmHwI/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ToppsBaseballCards/~4/wtM9_gr18Io" height="1" width="1"/>Brett for Presidentnoreply@blogger.com0http://toppsbaseball.blogspot.com/2009/01/gary-gaetti-and-triple-play.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434476798161215380.post-1283865607762222322009-01-21T20:15:00.000-08:002009-01-24T16:18:43.304-08:002009-01-24T16:18:43.304-08:00Interesting to note that there is <span style="TEXT-DECORATION: line-through">no place on the internet</span> one place on the internet that I am aware of that has all of the Topps checklists. In fact, just finding one usable checklist is extremely hard. I am slowly compiling on my blog what I have found so far, but if anyone has a file with any of the Topps checklists 1988-2006, <span style="color:#ff0000;">(done!) </span>that would be extremely helpful. You can email me at toppsbaseball at gmail.com. My goal is have all of the base set checklists under one roof. We will see how easy that turns out to be. Amazing that it hasn't already been done somewhere. I will also go on record that the Topps.com website is more than a bit useless when it comes to checklists. You would think the site might be a bit more useful friendly and navigable, but what do I know...<br /><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;"></span><br /><br />Here is what I have so far:<br /><br /><a href="http://toppsbaseball.blogspot.com/2008/02/2008-topps-checklist.html">2008 Topps Checklist</a><br /><a href="http://toppsbaseball.blogspot.com/2008/12/2007-topps-checklist.html">2007 Topps Checklist</a><br /><a href="http://toppsbaseball.blogspot.com/2009/01/2006-topps-checklist.html">2006 Topps Checklist</a><br /><a href="http://toppsbaseball.blogspot.com/2009/01/1985-topps-checklist.html">1985 Topps Checklist</a><br /><a href="http://toppsbaseball.blogspot.com/2008/12/1984-topps-checklist.html">1984 Topps Checklist</a><br /><a href="http://toppsbaseball.blogspot.com/2008/12/1983-topps-checklist.html">1983 Topps Checklist</a><br /><a href="http://toppsbaseball.blogspot.com/2008/12/1982-topps-checklist.html">1982 Topps Checklist</a><br /><a href="http://toppsbaseball.blogspot.com/2008/12/1981-topps-checklist.html">1981 Topps Checklist</a><br /><a href="http://toppsbaseball.blogspot.com/2008/12/1980-topps-checklist.html">1980 Topps Checklist</a><br /><a href="http://toppsbaseball.blogspot.com/2008/12/1979-topps-checklist.html">1979 Topps Checklist</a><br /><a href="http://toppsbaseball.blogspot.com/2008/12/1978-topps-checklist.html">1978 Topps Checklist</a><br /><a href="http://toppsbaseball.blogspot.com/2008/02/1977-topps-checklist.html">1977 Topps Checklist</a><br /><a href="http://toppsbaseball.blogspot.com/2008/12/1976-topps-checklist.html">1976 Topps Checklist</a><br /><a href="http://toppsbaseball.blogspot.com/2008/12/1975-topps-checklist.html">1975 Topps Checklist</a><br /><br />Also, just found a few emails from a few people wandering by my new blog.

Anyone remember Bob Hamelin? I'll give you a hint. Think Joe Charboneau. Getting warmer? Bob Hamelin won the 1994 AL Rookie Of The Year while playing for the Royals. While it isn't uncommon for a former ROY to have a mediocre follow-up campaign, few flame out as fast and as spectacularly as "The Hammer" (and he couldn't have had a better nickname!)<br /><br />The 1994 Royals were a great team - they ended 1994 on a 14 game win streak that was only stopped by the player's strike that ended up canceling the entire postseason including the World Series. They were four games out of first place and gaining momentum. Besides the AL ROY in Hamelin, they also had the AL Cy Young Award winner David Cone anchoring their pitching staff and a fantastic infield (Gaetti, Gagne, Lind, and Joyner around the bases). It was the last time I ever looked at the Royals as a legitimate contender.<br /><br />I liked all the players on that team, but none more than their 26 year old rookie phenom Bob Hamelin. I kind of viewed him as a modern incarnation of Babe Ruth - the same chunky build, the same swing, both left-handed. He looked more beer-league than major league and he wore glasses.<br /><br />I saw him play several times and remember a game sometime in July of 2004. I don't remember the opponent, but I remember the game going into the bottom of the 9th or 10th inning tied 3-3. Bob Hamelin was the first to bat and sent a pitch sky high down the right foul-line. Looking up I was blinded by the setting sun and couldn't track the ball, but then I heard a resounding "gong" as the ball struck the foul pole and the game was over. I was sunburnt and deliriously happy and I have a hard time remembering a more dramatic ending to a game that I actually attended. (I can think of a few Jacob's field thrillers, but that is another story)<br /><br />So after that meteoric rise, Bob Hamelin was gone from the Royals by 1996 and out of baseball entirely 2 years later. Injuries played a role, and perhaps his inability to stay in shape, but I still have never entirely gotten over the what might have been.<br /><br />I lost track of him soon after he left the Royals, and saw that he played halfway decent for the Tigers for a year in 1997, but then nothing...<br /><br />So the internet being what it is, I started to do a bit of searching. It turns out I entirely missed the story of how he left baseball. It certainly adds a bit of flair to his enigmatic career. From the LA Times<br /><br /><blockquote>"On a warm spring night in Toledo, Ohio, while playing baseball for a team called the Mud Hens, Hamelin, the 1994 American League rookie of the year for the Kansas City Royals, hit an infield groundout, jogged off the field, kicked a bat and told his manager, Gene Roof, "I'm done."<br /><br />After that game Monday night, Hamelin drove to Kansas City where his wife, Marie, and 1-year-old son, Jackson, live in the home Hamelin bought after he had been rookie of the year.<br /><br />Hamelin's father, Robert (Hamelin), who lives in Irvine, where the Hamelins moved from Morristown, N.J., when Bob (Hamelin) was 12, where he became a fine football player and star baseball player at Irvine High and went on to play baseball for Santa Ana College and UCLA, says he had no idea that his son would make such a dramatic exit from the game he had loved and played for 26 years, until Bob called home on Monday night and said, 'Dad, I quit.'"</blockquote><br /><br />I don't have the rest of the story, since it is archived, but if anyone has, as Paul Harvey would say, "the rest of the story" I would love to read it...<br /><br />The latest Hamelin news come from an interview he did in 2007.<br /><br />http://blogs.cjonline.com/index.php?entry=3848<br /><br /><blockquote>Six questions with former Royal Bob Hamelin<br />Posted by<br />Daily Dose - Sports <br /><br />It’s been 13 years since “The Hammer,” Bob Hamelin, captivated Kansas City Royals fans with a magical summer. A year after the retirement of Hall of Famer George Brett, Hamelin stepped into the lineup and emerged as one of the top sluggers in the A.L.<br /><br />Hamelin won the Rookie of the Year Award that season, but he was never the same after the strike in 1994. He had a decent season with Detroit in 1997 and played his last MLB game Sept. 27, 1998, with Milwaukee. Daily Dose tracked The Hammer down in North Carolina:<br /><br /><strong>What are you up to these days?</strong><br /><br />I’m working as a scout for the Washington Nationals. I work the areas of North Carolina, South Carolina and Kentucky. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do. I had a manufacturing business until a few years ago, then I went to a school for scouts, applied for some jobs and was fortunate enough to get this one.<br /><br /><strong>So, you just couldn’t stay away from the game?</strong><br /><br />Baseball has always been my passion, and it’s something I’ve always wanted to be involved in. When I left the game, I needed to stay away for a while. But eventually I wanted to get back into it. I thought about coaching until this came up. The traveling is difficult, being away from my boys, but I’ve been surprised how much I enjoy it.<br /><br /><strong>You retired abruptly. What’s the story behind that?</strong><br /><br />It was 1999, and I was playing for Toledo (Detroit’s AAA team). I grounded out, walked into the dugout and said enough was enough. That was it. I told them to put somebody else in and left. Even if I was going to get called up at the end of the year, I wasn’t looking forward to playing for the Tigers at all. They weren’t very good that season. When I realized I wasn’t even looking forward to the callup, I knew it was time to step away.<br /><br /><strong>What was 1994 like for you, winning the Rookie of the Year?</strong><br /><br />It really was a special, fun time. Kansas City is a great baseball town, and the fans really supported that team. It’s too bad the strike hit because I think we had a good chance of making the playoffs. That was a good ballclub, and things were just working out for me.<br /><br /><strong>You struggled after that season. What went wrong?</strong><br /><br />If I could tell you that, I might still be playing. I’m not sure. I know people say the weight was an issue, but I really never felt like it was. I was a hitter. And when I couldn’t hit, that was it. I had a good year with Detroit a few years later, but it’s not like I was going to help anybody defensively or stealing bases.<br /><br /><strong>You hit a lot of big home runs in a relatively short time. Where did you get that flair for the dramatic?</strong><br /><br />It’s natural to be more focused in a situation like that, but I also was lucky to have those chances and to do something with them. I always enjoyed hitting in the big games in big moments.<br /><br />WHAT ABOUT BOB?<br /><br />Age: 39<br />Family: Sons Jackson, 9, and Sam, 6<br />Claim to fame: Won 1994 Rookie of the Year Award after hitting .282 with 24 home runs and 65 RBIs<br />Memorable hit: “I remember a homer I hit against Chicago in 1994 during our 14-game winning streak. I think it came in extra innings (it was a three-run bomb in the 12th inning of a 6-4 KC win).”</blockquote><br /><br />I find it interesting that Bob Hamelin's oldest son has the same name as George Brett's oldest son (who was named after one of his rivals, Reggie Jackson).<br /><br />What does this have to with baseball cards? Nothing, just random musing, but that is part of what is so great about sports and baseball in particular. Though the players are just human, the stories surrounding them seem to soar larger than life and allow you for a moment to take flight with them and escape some of the mundanity of life...<br /><br />And as much as I like Topps cards, I will have to admit that Upper Deck actually did a better rookie card for Bob Hamelin all the way back in 1990.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6434476798161215380-4679212798528877543?l=toppsbaseball.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/111WsCTv_g-YUb5VIETZQb_UmK8/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/111WsCTv_g-YUb5VIETZQb_UmK8/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/111WsCTv_g-YUb5VIETZQb_UmK8/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/111WsCTv_g-YUb5VIETZQb_UmK8/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ToppsBaseballCards/~4/R5PXrTGAWW0" height="1" width="1"/>Brett for Presidentnoreply@blogger.com0http://toppsbaseball.blogspot.com/2009/01/whatever-happened-to.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434476798161215380.post-45550648443439897792009-01-15T12:27:00.000-08:002009-01-18T14:58:40.846-08:002009-01-18T14:58:40.846-08:00Finished putting the the 1981 Topps set into a binder- it appears to be the only complete set I own with no missing cards. I just posted a sample of how the project is looking. This set is probably the one I remember the best from my childhood, most likely due to those distinctive hats in the lower left corners emblazoned with the team name and player position. I always thought it was kind of funny that everyone had the same shaped hat except the Pittsburgh Pirates with those hideous "cake" hats that Topps even duplicated on the cards. I can't imagine making it to the big leagues and then having to wear those hats. <br /><br />In retrospect, the 1981 Topps set is probably the worst set of the 1975-1984 era. Almost all of the photos are of the fairly bland head shot variety with only rare action shots. Compare these to the 1983 Topps set where every card features the player in action and the 1981 set really starts to look mundane and boring. I don't really get all that excited about rookie cards, but the 1981 set also stands out as the set with the fewest rookies by far. The 26 "Future Stars" are almost all pointless, except for Tony Pena and a few others.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/SW-cqawwjQI/AAAAAAAAAFI/0ccuT-YlxZ4/s1600-h/sc0043f8f102.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 292px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/SW-cqawwjQI/AAAAAAAAAFI/0ccuT-YlxZ4/s400/sc0043f8f102.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291620339735891202" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/SW_BNfAvVEI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/iIayPmEzehw/s1600-h/sc0046012d.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 289px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/SW_BNfAvVEI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/iIayPmEzehw/s400/sc0046012d.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291660524590683202" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/SW_BWvTjgmI/AAAAAAAAAFY/ePbZ_oa-pbY/s1600-h/sc00490fcd.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 298px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/SW_BWvTjgmI/AAAAAAAAAFY/ePbZ_oa-pbY/s400/sc00490fcd.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291660683583390306" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6434476798161215380-4555064844343989779?l=toppsbaseball.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/q-9FXeNDr7Lhw6lio75koGeYAu8/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/q-9FXeNDr7Lhw6lio75koGeYAu8/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/q-9FXeNDr7Lhw6lio75koGeYAu8/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/q-9FXeNDr7Lhw6lio75koGeYAu8/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ToppsBaseballCards/~4/mJCkKyGip00" height="1" width="1"/>Brett for Presidentnoreply@blogger.com2http://toppsbaseball.blogspot.com/2009/01/blog-post.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434476798161215380.post-389869217610359892009-01-12T20:39:00.000-08:002009-01-18T12:14:10.804-08:002009-01-18T12:14:10.804-08:00So I went out and bought 10 card binders and a few boxes of 9 pocket pages. The 1988 Topps set is done, the 1994 Topps is done. Tonight I can report the 1983 set (minus Jim Rice, Fred Lynn, and the Red Sox Team Leader card featuring Jim Rice) is sorted and put into pages... Stay tuned for photos and my highly influential opinion of this set.<br /><br />Just to tie you over till I get back, here is a pic of my favorite card from the set so far..<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/SW3V_2Drg-I/AAAAAAAAAFA/EmSGcDYzHA0/s1600-h/ozzie.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 230px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/SW3V_2Drg-I/AAAAAAAAAFA/EmSGcDYzHA0/s320/ozzie.jpg" border="0" alt="Ozzie!"id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291120430049625058" /></a><br /><br />One thing I like about the 1983 set is every card is an action shot - no more so than in this card of Ozzie Smith.

Try <a href="http://cardboardgods.baseballtoaster.com/">Cardboard Gods</a>. This is simply the most amazing blog I have ever read. I don't know anything about the author, Josh Wilker, other than we seem to be almost the same age and like baseball cards. This blog is a book waiting to be published. I just read his post on <a href="http://cardboardgods.baseballtoaster.com/archives/1178333.html">Dave Kingman and Freddie Patek</a> and ended with tears in my eyes. Freddie Patek was everyone's favorite shortstop if you were a Royals fan in the 1970's. But to draw the contrast between him and Dave Kingman enlarges the subject far beyond just baseball to the universal experience of the underdog versus the proverbial schoolyard bully. Though I haven't really thought about Freddie Patek in 20 years, today I am saddened he never had the chance to play in the World Series. God Bless Freddie Patek.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6434476798161215380-3691949606264287757?l=toppsbaseball.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/8oCoWDGwALXwslmLvh42ijUdlmM/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/8oCoWDGwALXwslmLvh42ijUdlmM/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/8oCoWDGwALXwslmLvh42ijUdlmM/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/8oCoWDGwALXwslmLvh42ijUdlmM/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ToppsBaseballCards/~4/i2er1sZMcOA" height="1" width="1"/>Brett for Presidentnoreply@blogger.com0http://toppsbaseball.blogspot.com/2009/01/cardboard-gods.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434476798161215380.post-74066690425245012662009-01-10T12:45:00.000-08:002009-01-12T20:38:01.470-08:002009-01-12T20:38:01.470-08:00The updates have been lacking, but my two main excuses are 1) The holidays, and 2) I've been so busy sorting cards! I am quite sure this comes as a relief to everyone, but I have not given up on this project. I'll give a quick update and then reflect on what it means so far.<br /><br />I gathered all my baseball cards (and 15,000 seems like it was a good guess) and sorted them back into years. Then, true to my word, I sorted the 1988 set into teams and put them all into one binder - I even found that I have the traded set and added those cards. I like the set, and being able to read so much about it at the absolutely wonderful <a href="http://88topps.blogspot.com/">88 Topps Blog</a> makes up for the fact that this just wasn't a set that I spent a lot of time with. I am being drawn back to my original card collecting heyday of 1976-1982. I just loved those cards when I was a kid - and some of the cards certainly look the worse for it. I found the 1978 George Brett card I used to carry around in my vinyl wallet like it was a photo of my then non-existent children. It is thoroughly wrinkled and frayed, but the profile of #5 with the bulge in his cheek (chewing gum, right?) and the All-Star badge in the lower right corner made this the most sought after card of my childhood. I actually remember being on the school bus and trading for this exact card, though I don't remember what I had to give up to obtain it. Since the kid on the other end of the transaction was so much older, I'm sure the term "highway robbery" was mumbled by those observing the bargaining.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/SWvMLooSB_I/AAAAAAAAAEY/hTHYLcIlPDQ/s1600-h/brett78.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 276px; height: 384px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/SWvMLooSB_I/AAAAAAAAAEY/hTHYLcIlPDQ/s320/brett78.jpg" border="0" alt="The actual George Brett card I used to carry in my wallet"id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290546687533778930" /></a><br /><br />After reminiscing about the long lost Brett card, I then went on and finished sorting the 1981,1982, 1983, and 1984 sets. This took some major efforts since a lot of the good cards were in another shoebox that I had forgotten about and had sat untouched inside another box containing newspapers and sports magazines that has followed me around for about 10 different moving days. However, no amount of searching so far can explain why every Jim Rice card from every set is missing. Obviously at some point I put them some place separate from all the other cards for some reason that I don't even vaguely remember. I've looked in so many places that I have become resigned that they are gone. The rest of the cards will still go into binders, but I'll leave a scrap of paper in place of the missing Jim Rices. I have deduced that it must have been a Red Sox phenomenom since Fred Lynn is also missing from two of the sets. <br /><br />Inexplicably, a few cards are missing from all the sets - even the couple of sets I bought at a baseball card show my dad took me to in the 1980's. Some of them might not actually be lost, but might simply in the wrong pile due to missorting. But no amount of sorting mistakes can account for a depressing string of missing Jim Rices. However, I have decided to wait until I am done with all the sets before I call off the search and start looking to replace them. <br /><br />Speaking of replacing, I went and looked on eBay for some 1970's cards. It turns out that instead of appreciating in value, the prices have simply gone off a cliff. I remember Wade Boggs' rookie card being sold for $60 or more back in the 1990's. Now I see it sold for $2.25 just this week. My cherished George Brett from 1978 is routinely being sold for 99 cents. This doesn't phase me at all, in fact, it is giving my project a big enthusiastic boost. I might actually be able to go buy all the cards I'm missing with the change I find under the seat of my car. And I certainly am not going to worry about dinging a few corners while I am in the process of putting the cards in the pockets of the pages. I've even started scouting out what it would take to complete sets from 1975-1977, years that I only have 100 or so cards from. This might actually be possible...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6434476798161215380-7406669042524501266?l=toppsbaseball.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/s3jBq12rX4XS46bgbbVEMhrjBRI/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/s3jBq12rX4XS46bgbbVEMhrjBRI/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/s3jBq12rX4XS46bgbbVEMhrjBRI/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/s3jBq12rX4XS46bgbbVEMhrjBRI/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ToppsBaseballCards/~4/91vdL-6Qeuo" height="1" width="1"/>Brett for Presidentnoreply@blogger.com4http://toppsbaseball.blogspot.com/2009/01/where-have-i-been.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434476798161215380.post-1853621481827054542008-12-22T16:07:00.000-08:002008-12-22T18:04:47.857-08:002008-12-22T18:04:47.857-08:00Right off the bat I can tell this is going to be a lot of fun. I put the complete 1994 Topps set into a brand new binder with 100+ nine-pocket pages and it looks fantastic. What was I thinking storing them in boxes? I started with 1994 simply because it is the only set that was still in its own box and not mixed in with 20 other years of cards. So the easy part is done, but now I can at least look at something I completed even if I get bogged down in the 80's somewhere. And look at card #180 - George Brett's final Topps issue. Shot from behind, his famous #5 plainly visible as is his characteristic swing. Brett himself takes up only a small portion of the photo. The Kaufman Stadium scoreboard and fountains are visible and the whole photo gives an impression of fading away which is quite appropriate since it was Brett's final campaign. This is probably my favorite card out of the set and my favorite George Brett card overall.<br /><br><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/SVA2_bHpluI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/ciV3iAYSIew/s1600-h/2004Brett.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 230px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_XdF5taoAlxU/SVA2_bHpluI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/ciV3iAYSIew/s320/2004Brett.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282782826145093346" /></a><br /><br /><br />On deck is the 1988 Topps set. Not my personal favorite, but since the engrossing <a href="http://88topps.blogspot.com">88 Topps Blog</a> inspired this project, I thought I would tackle it next. Maybe I'll change my mind about the set after studying it up close.<br /><br />Which brings me to another point I wanted to make. I've read and heard so many disparaging words about baseball cards from the 80's and 90's. I've seen complete sets go for as little as $10 on eBay. That depresses a lot of people, but not me. I want to enjoy these cards, not monitor them like a stock portfolio. After storing all my cards for 20 years in boxes meant to protect them I think all I managed to accomplish was to get them ignored and unappreciated. After looking at some of them I came to realize something. These are real, honest baseball cards doing exactly what they are supposed to do, which is to artfully provide information about the players that season. It is also like looking at an old family picture album. With each team you get the well-known veterans that have provided the backbone of the success of the team for 10,15, even 20 years. You also get a glimmer of what is to come when you see the fresh faces of Kenny Lofton, Charlie Nagy, and Manny Ramirez in their Indian's uniforms two years before they propelled the lackluster Indians of 1975-1993 to the World Series. This is the kind of appreciation you can't get except by going back and looking at teams 10-20 years old. So far this project has been a smashing success as far as I am concerned.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6434476798161215380-185362148182705454?l=toppsbaseball.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/aaegRkE-AuYlE6jXbx8gnzdmUvY/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/aaegRkE-AuYlE6jXbx8gnzdmUvY/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/aaegRkE-AuYlE6jXbx8gnzdmUvY/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/aaegRkE-AuYlE6jXbx8gnzdmUvY/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ToppsBaseballCards/~4/c-Aoy8l7AVo" height="1" width="1"/>Brett for Presidentnoreply@blogger.com0http://toppsbaseball.blogspot.com/2008/12/progress-is-being-made.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434476798161215380.post-14588221281026917002008-12-20T18:39:00.000-08:002008-12-22T15:58:02.935-08:002008-12-22T15:58:02.935-08:00OK, I started the immense task of sorting. First of all, to explain. I used to collect baseball cards - not in any over the top way, (no pun intended) but through the years I have managed to hang onto about 15,000 cards. Nothing overly valuable, but heavy with sentimental value. There are mainly Topps sets from 1983-1994 which were complete at one point but now... I have no idea. There are also several thousand cards from 1975-1982 but not sure how complete they are. (well, I seem to remember almost finishing the 1982 set) Back in the day, my brother and I sorted out all of the cards not by year, not by number, but alphabetically! So now there are twenty or so boxes of cards each containing 700-800 cards with nothing in common except that they all start with the same letter of the alphabet. Made for a lot of work then, and impossible to appreciate now - unless you ever wanted to see how many Nolan Ryan cards I have. (38 if you are keeping score at home)<br />After my own sons got interested in cards (Pokemon and baseball) I felt the tug of nostalgia and went down to the basement and looked through them. What a mess! The last twenty years did nothing to keep the boxes organized. The next thing that happened was that I stumbled upon a couple of cool blogs.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://88topps.blogspot.com/">88 Topps Cards</a><br /><br />and the aptly named <br /><br /><a href="http://baseballcardblog.blogspot.com/">The Baseball Card Blog</a><br /><br />I dreamt of a Baseball Card Renaissance. Not the kind with hundreds of insert cards, or the kind with 20 different rookie cards from 20 different card companies for every player to ever swing a bat. Not the kind that focuses on the cost of the cards and creates kiddie collectors that know how much a card is worth but can't even pronounce the player's name. That is exactly why I put down the hobby in the first place (that and college). What I want to do is create my own historical record with baseball cards. So I decided I would sort all those cards out by year and team and place them in binders - 9 cards to a page. One binder for every year 1975-2008. Each binder will have the teams sorted by the order they finished that year - first the American League and followed by the National League. League Leaders in the front, All-Stars in the middle between the American and National League teams, signifying the division between the leagues and symbolically in the middle, just like the All-Star game itself. Finishing up will be the "future stars", checklists, and any other miscellaneous whatnot.<br /><br />These cards will be fun to look at. I never understood why baseball card numbering was so random - there is no way to appreciate a complete set if you sort it numerically and I've already done the alphabetical mistake. This time I'm doing it just to enjoy the cards. I'm not going to get bogged down on the condition of the cards or their worth. Stars will be mixed in with the commons, just like on the real teams. It will be fascinating to see the old teams come alive on a page just like I remember them when I watched them on TV and heard them on the radio. Looking at a Hal McRae card will so much more interesting if it is on a page filled with all the his other Royal teammates.<br /><br />Once I get them sorted out I will hopefully be in a position to finish some of the older sets. Perhaps someone will read this someday and we can work out some trades. I can hardly wait to get going!<br /><br />Oh, and one last thing. My favorite team as when I was a kid was the Kansas City Royals. Yes, those Royals, the perennial cellar dwellers. But my team was the George Brett Royals that won every year and were actually cool. My appreciation of the Royals has dampened somewhat since Brett retired and they have entered perpetual rebuilding mode. Their arch nemesis was the Yankees, and my intense dislike for them hasn't abated one bit. My new team, the Cleveland Indians seems to have picked up the rivalry right where the Royals left off. The more things change... (the more they stay the same).<br /><br />So, in sum:<br /><br />Goal - organize complete Topps sets from 1975-2008 in binders sorted by team ordered by their season finish.<br />Timeframe: as soon as possible given the real world circumstances.<br />Favorite team(s):<br />1975-1994 - the Kansas City Royals<br />1995-present - the Cleveland Indians<br /><br />(there's no fair weather fandom here - I just happened to move from Kansas to Cleveland in 1995)<br /><br />I'll post progress and pictures as I get going. Stay tuned...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6434476798161215380-1458822128102691700?l=toppsbaseball.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/v7deZ1ZKoicSZNtNUbbMjdumxnU/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/v7deZ1ZKoicSZNtNUbbMjdumxnU/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/v7deZ1ZKoicSZNtNUbbMjdumxnU/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/v7deZ1ZKoicSZNtNUbbMjdumxnU/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ToppsBaseballCards/~4/yflkDVCpAhA" height="1" width="1"/>Brett for Presidentnoreply@blogger.com1http://toppsbaseball.blogspot.com/2008/12/sorting-sorting-sorting.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434476798161215380.post-83449212362924619572008-12-02T19:11:00.000-08:002009-01-22T09:02:13.055-08:002009-01-22T09:02:13.055-08:001 Carlton Fisk -
