    Lou Gehrig 2000th consecutive game

    On May 31, 1938 the Yankees played the Red Sox at Yankee Stadium. The day after 81,000 showed up for a Yankees/Red Sox doubleheader, there were just 6,917 in attendance to see the Yankees beat the Red Sox 12-5. Tommy Henrich, Bill Dickey and Red Rolfe hit home runs for the Yankees. Jimmie Foxx...

    Dugout Lineup cards FS (Walker, Helton, Bonds, Piazza, Johnson etc etc)

    Hey all, I recently acquired Don Baylor's personal collection of lineup cards. There were a mix of lineup card styles, but included a decent number of dugout lineup cards, mostly from 1997. Lineup cards are roughly 8.5x14 and look like the ones in the image. Happy to send additional pictures of...

    Lineup card photomatch for Ripken's record-setting game

    A few months ago, a collection which came from former Orioles bench coach (amongst other roles) Chuck Cottier hit the auction block. The lineup cards were from the 1995 season, when Ripken tied and set the all-time consecutive games streak. The lot indicated that the lineup cards were likely...

    Best pull I've ever pulled

    I don't often open packs anymore, after 2 decades of not pulling anything nice. Recently though, maybe because of being home for a month or otherwise, I've started taking part in a couple of breaks. Figure it's a low-cost way to engage in a break, and the results are the same since I don't...

    Cool Negro League/Barnstorming pickup

    Hope everyone is doing okay with all the craziness going on. Until the mid-50's or so, barnstorming was a pretty common occurence for MLB ballplayers. At that time, players weren't paid enough during the season to just do nothing during the off-season, so they were looking for something...

    Arenado question

    Edit: Figured it out. The lineup and opponent match up perfectly to who they played in 2011 on this date. Have 2 different games of these and they both show 2010 but match up with 2011. Funny that they didn't realize. It is hard to tell from the picture but is says "April 9, 2010." The...

    FS Lineup cards available at very reasonable prices

    Hey all, I recently picked up over 1,000 lineup cards from legendary Dodgers manager and Hall-of-Famer Tommy Lasorda from 1989-1996. Due to the sheer volume, I am willing to move them for very reasonable prices. For basic Dodgers lineup cards I am looking for $25 for a copy signed by Lasorda...

    Collection Centerpiece Acquired

    As some of you may know, the primary focus of my collection (ok, one of two primary focuses, along with lineup cards) is baseball's integration, and its central figures. Some of the major figures are Jackie Robinson, Roy Campanella and Don Newcombe. Jackie obviously broke the color barrier...

    Question about 2004 Bowman Chrome

    Over the years of collecting I've seen my share of cards that were a bit small, and might have been suspect for trimming. One of the things I've noticed is that (unlike any other set), a pretty significant percentage of the 2004 Bowman Chrome card I have had was a drop small. Back when I was...

    Will Mauer be the first player with a Rookie Auto to make the Hall of Fame?

    With Mauer's retirement, I was wondering whether he might be the first player with a rookie autograph to make the Hall of Fame? If I had to guess, the first player who had an insert autographed card in their rookie season to make the Hall will be Roy Halladay (1997 Bowman Auto), and depending...

    Mystery Solved! 1955 Yankees US Tour lineup card

    Hey all, super pumped to finally get a vintage Yankees lineup card from the Stengel era. Doesn’t have Mantle in the lineup but features Berra and is from the heart of the Yankees dynasty. Here’s the issue though - the lineup shown doesn’t match any game from 1955 or 1956. This leads me to...

    What is the appropriate feedback in this situation

    I recently bought a 2010 Chris Sale BC Gold Ref BGS 9.5. It cost $1000+ so definitely not a cheap piece. When I got the card in the mail I was really surprised to see the BGS case completely beaten up as the pictures below show. I went back to the listing and these were the pictures in...

    Anyone knowledgeable about Japanese baseball (particularly vintage)

    I picked up a lot of signed pictures from the 1931 US Tour of Japan. Most had American players (Grove, Simmons etc) but a few were signed by Japanese players including a number of players in the Japanese HOF. I know in the US market, HOF autographs are a very popular category to collect...
