Happy first day of autumn from the 1923 W515-1 strip card set, one of the Hobby's best when it comes to fall colors.

Congratulations to SABR member and sports photographer David Malamut on this huge first!

You maybe knew the 1972 Topps design was influenced by the David Edward Byrd poster for Follies, but did you know Byrd’s poster was inspired by this photo of Marlene Dietrich from Shanghai Express (1932)?

Before there was the 1971 Topps baseball design, there was “1970 Topps Flags of the World - Dictionary Cards.”

Heh 2002 Wild Card Tampa Bay Rays

Mike Trout 400 HR appreciation post. Who’s got a Trout card to share? #CardSky

This is a fun one because we get Maury Wills on an early 60s Topps card, showing a play from game 4.

BBM issued a Nippon Series set every year from 1991 to 2012 that featured every player from that year’s Series plus the MVPs and other award winners. Here’s a couple of my favorite cards from those sets

Sorry

Cardinals' third base coach and future Seattle Pilots' manager Joe Schultz on the left behind McCarver and Briles.

One of the greatest Tiger HRs....and i need some good Tiger vibes right now.

The only one featuring a game I've been to.

Not a fave—but perhaps one of the most ludicrous cards ever. (And that's coming from an Os fan.)

Kershaw fans, look away!

As exciting as pulling a Griffey for me back in 89.

Do you approve, @alexanderraine7.bsky.social ?

Postseason cards featuring the Mets or Orioles are always at the top of my heap, but a card which reads "SEALING YANKS' DOOM" is right up there as well.

I thought I had #8, but if I do I haven't come across it while adding cards to my TCDB account. I was probably thinking of this one, which I do have.

I might be biased...❤️⚾

Always.

Sorry, you can't make me choose. 🧵1/2

I like this one, too, but given the result, it doesn't hold the same stature. 🧵2/2

From the Laughlin Chronicles

It’s a bit early but let’s see a fave postseason card!

Your Cards of the Day: "One Card Only" and "Forgotten Brothers" Edition: Ted Sadowski, who played for the Senators/Twins from 1960-62, got a card in 1961. His brothers, Ed and Bob, had several cards. A different Bob Sadowski (no relation) only had one card in 1963. @sabrbbcards.bsky.social

My favorite account of the story is the 1955 Bowman Eddie Waitkus #cardsky @sabrbbcards.bsky.social

Farewell Robert Redford (1935-2025) @sabrbbcards.bsky.social #cardsky

Wow, I was writing about this T206 card near midnight and thought, should I allude to the New York Knights? Little did I know! :-( #RIP

RIP, Robert Redford

Robert Redford, RIP (1936-2025). 😢 Raise your hand if you’re watching “The Natural” tonight. For a fun connection between his most famous baseball character and a T205 legend, here is a great piece by @johnthorn.bsky.social. ourgame.mlblogs.com/roy-hobbs-an...

Your Cards of the Day: "Tommie" Aaron was 0 for 4 with two walks and a strikeout against "Tommie" Sisk. "Tommie Agee was 2 for 4 with a walk, a strikeout and one RBI versus Sisk. @sabrbbcards.bsky.social

Found this today in the never-ending garage cleanout. “OT” lasted about a year — distribution was terrible — but had a fine collection of bylines and looked great. Some juicy takes here. Mazz loved Teixeira, and I was in agreement. Given recent developments, clear he was born to be a Yankee.

Night Owl Cards started 17 years ago today. As always, thanks for reading. #cardsky

While the Giants would not relocate to San Francisco for nearly half a century, signs were everywhere if you knew where to look. 🧵 New York had Merkle. San Francisco had Meikle.
