Charlie Hough's Birthday Celebration, Part the Deux: A few years ago, it was A Thing to write on the @sabrbbcards.bsky.social blog about your 10 favorite cards of a player. I chose Charlie, or perhaps he chose me. Some of the post makes me wince now but I still dig the cards:

1992 was kinda mythical when I was a kid, couldn't find it all in Calgary when I was teenager and was genuinely surprised how common it was once eBay came around. 1991 has what is now my fave weirdo subset of minor league MVPs that look like Alex Colville paintings.

I do not, but I do know that 1989 was my least favorite. The size annoyed me as a 10 year old and it annoys me as a 46 year old.

89 and 90 are pretty dire photo-wise. 91 has some fun stuff with the silver slugger awards and Rickey Henderson highlight (and some horrible stuff with the "art" MVP cards). But I probably lean 92 with the 90s fashion.

In my perfect world, Bowman and Stadium Club would have been a single set. 1953 Bowman design paired with SC-quality photos. For the most part, 89B pics were far worse than standard Topps set. Still, by today’s RC rules, I’ll offer that the 89 Bowman Griffey is his only true rookie card. 😜

The designs aren't great, the photography wasn't great, but the first 3 years were fun at the time because they came out mid-season and functioned as a semi-update. I guess since I own a complete set of 89B I should pick that one as a favorite

Anyone have a fave among the first four years of the Bowman reboot? #CardSky

1969 Milton Bradley. It’s Monday, make it a great one! @sabrbbcards.bsky.social @tjpilotsfan.bsky.social @splitseason1981.bsky.social @phitter72.bsky.social @markarmour04.bsky.social @gimapreceptor.bsky.social @culleys.bsky.social @curtburner.bsky.social @mattypabst.bsky.social #cardsky

Two more for the Yankees collection. I needed the El Duque card & I was prepared to obnoxiously overbid but fortunately no one else felt the same way. The man was the epitome of a big game pitcher. #cardsky #Topps

Just brilliant work by @phitter72.bsky.social saving the wrapper too. @sabrbbcards.bsky.social @tjpilotsfan.bsky.social @splitseason1981.bsky.social @billpearch.bsky.social @seank138.bsky.social @markhoyle4.bsky.social @markarmour04.bsky.social @ckamka.bsky.social #cardsky

CARDBOARD CAMEOS. Note the Marlboro ad on Ryno's rookie card!

Your Cards of the Day: Looking for a new personal collection idea? I suggest the career run of minor league general manager Ed Holtz. Note his odd brown windbreaker with the Mariners' logo. Ed's last two cards have photos taken from space. @sabrbbcards.bsky.social

Cardboard Cameos: Who's behind E.D. on his 1985 rookie card? @jasontcarter.bsky.social

FAMILY AFFAIR. Sons of comic actor Joe E. Brown, Pirates GM Joe L. Brown brought two championships to Pittsburgh (1960, 1971), and producer/network exec M.J. Frankovich helped bring the Raiders to Los Angeles. Both have fairly difficult baseball cards. #CardSky

Fun Fact: Baseball legend Babe Ruth batted and threw left-handed, but he signed autographs right-handed! #MLB #History #NationalTriviaDay

That’s the one! www.balancethechaos.com/1992.html

Chicago American Giants cap?

Your Cards of the Day: Tony Pena's 1988 Score photo features the umpires mask frozen midair. What in the name of Nestor Chylak is going on here?! Note that Tony's image is on his sweat bands. @sabrbbcards.bsky.social

It is a pretty decent core of guys. 😁

Pretty hard to top the four Tigers rookie cards in 1978 Topps…

Topps Montgomery Club membership had its perks for a hot minute & most of the free mini sets were forgettable. Any design where yellow is prominently featured risks falling into ‘91 Fleer territory but it really worked with this 2020 B&W set. #cardsky

I began collecting baseball cards when I was 7 with that year's Topps (1987). I wasn't patient enough then to save up the allowance to buy an entire box. 39 years later I decided to indulge in some nostalgia. The Rocket gets the gum, his card besmirched like his reputation. 1/3 #CardSky #AnalogLife

First card in the first Calbee set

First Seattle Pilots' card based on numerical sequence.

I started to respond to this with a bunch of 1974 Topps cards to show players as designated hitters, but then realized I'd be better served using the idea for a post on my blog 🙂 shlabotnikreport.wordpress.com/2026/01/01/t...

Your Cards of the Day: Old Father Time has passed the baton to the neonate of the new year. Happy New Year! @sabrbbcards.bsky.social

Happy 2026! Anyone picked up any cards yet?

1965 Topps. It’s the first day of of a new year. Let’s see some firsts. I’ll start. @sabrbbcards.bsky.social @tjpilotsfan.bsky.social @splitseason1981.bsky.social @phitter72.bsky.social @markarmour04.bsky.social @adarowski.bsky.social @markhoyle4.bsky.social @curtburner.bsky.social #cardsky

I have the best baseball friends. This lovely surprise arrived this week and I absolutely love it. Perhaps my favorite figure in Latin American baseball history and certainly the one that most embodies this massive project I’m working on. Lázaro Salazar 😍

A couple of earlier 2025 Clemente pickups (1964 Topps Giant and 1965) and my first Clemente (1956). #Retire21 @mlb @CardsCigarbox

Remembering Roberto Clemente 53 years after his passing...... @sabrbbcards.bsky.social

Just two hours to go…

1953 Topps. Turning the Paige on another year. Happy New Year to all collectors of cardboard! 🍾🥂 @sabrbbcards.bsky.social @tjpilotsfan.bsky.social @splitseason1981.bsky.social @markarmour04.bsky.social @phitter72.bsky.social @adarowski.bsky.social @curtburner.bsky.social #cardsky

Never forgotten. #TheGreatOne

Today, we remember the life and legacy of Roberto Clemente. A great person, baseball player, and humanitarian, his legacy lives on through compassion, courage, and service to others.

Your Cards of the Day: Nothing says New Year's Eve quite like the cards of Rich NYE. Just like Rich, the new year is moving ever closer. @sabrbbcards.bsky.social

1960 Bazooka. Cheers to “Little Louie”, the oldest living Hall of Famer. @sabrbbcards.bsky.social @phitter72.bsky.social @scottsimkus.bsky.social @ckamka.bsky.social @seank138.bsky.social @adarowski.bsky.social @lastcomiskey.bsky.social @southsidesox.bsky.social #cardsky

Mail! HOF, OPC 🇨🇦 and Les Expos! V353 World Wide Gum (🇨🇦 Goudey) Stained but beautiful coloring. Harris said of Hank Greenberg, "This guy couldn’t even hit the ground." (Sabr.org) My first pre-war baseball card. Wolter was the first player to get a hit in Fenway Park in 1911. #CardSky

1967 Topps. Hail and farewell in 2025. 🙏🏻 @sabrbbcards.bsky.social @tjpilotsfan.bsky.social @splitseason1981.bsky.social @markarmour04.bsky.social @markhoyle4.bsky.social @phitter72.bsky.social @gimapreceptor.bsky.social @curtburner.bsky.social @adarowski.bsky.social #cardsky

Does anybody know of any other “1949 Bowman style” sets Topps made like 2006 Bowman Heritage Minis (besides the reprint sets)? Topps Heritage Minor League have any 49 Bowman’s?

In honor of Sandy Koufax's birthday, here's a Sandy-themed rabbit hole. What these cards have to do with Sandy is probably obvious at first glance. After all, they both feature the "Yiddish Curver," Barney Pelty. But wait. There's more.

Amazin' Mets Cereal (1999-2000): Following the 1999 season, which marked the 30th anniversary of their first ever World Series victory, the NY Mets honored the occasion with a cereal--frosted corn flakes--celebrating their past and present.

In honor of Sandy’s birthday, here are the “Jewish Aces” (20-win seasons in parentheses). 🔹 Erskine Mayer (1914, 1915) 🔹 Sandy Koufax (1963, 1965, 1966) 🔹 Ken Holtzman (1973) 🔹 Steve Stone (1980)
