1952 Bowman Baseball: Underrated Elegance

July 1, 2020 By Adam Hughes

When old baseball card collectors gather around their shoe boxes full of rubber-band-bound stacks and conversation turns to the greatest sets of the post-War era, as it inevitably does, the predictable run of iconic issues fills the air:  1951 Bowman, 1952  Topps, 1953 Topps and Bowman. Sandwiched among these heavyweights of the hobby, maybe the 1952 Bowman set … [Read more...]

Set of the Week: 1980 Topps Baseball Marked the End of a Monopoly

August 7, 2015 By Adam Hughes

Pete Rose 1980 Topps

When they ripped open their first packs of baseball cards to greet a new decade, collectors couldn't have known that they were looking at the end of a monopoly AND the seeds of a hobby boom. The 1980 Topps baseball set was not too far removed from its recent predecessors in look and feel, but it was in a different league entirely when it came to making history. Indeed, by … [Read more...]

1950 Bowman Baseball a Trend Setter

July 18, 2015 By Adam Hughes

Don Newcombe 1950 Bowman rookie card

As Americans said their good-riddances to the 1940s, a decade that shredded our hearts and families with war and decimated the National Pastime, sports fans were ready to finally enjoy their games with a full roster of superstars once again. When the first spring of the new decade dawned, the 1950 Bowman baseball set was ready and waiting to greet collectors who had waited all … [Read more...]

10 Underrated Baseball Rookie Cards of the 1980s

July 14, 2015 By Adam Hughes

The baseball card hobby exploded during the 1980s, and nothing was hotter during the decade than the rookie card of the latest phenom. While the sets of the era are home to the debut issues of many Hall of Famers, plenty of other "budding superstars" fizzled out on the road to Cooperstown. In between is a group of players who put together stellar careers but who have slid in … [Read more...]

1948 Bowman Baseball Set Launched Post-War Card Market

July 10, 2015 By Adam Hughes

Stan Musial rookie card

After a flurry of colorful and interesting issues released just as the Great Depression began to lift in the late 1930s, baseball cards disappeared from the American landscape after 1941 thanks to the ravages and rations of World War II. Seven long years later, and nearly three full years after our troops came home, the 1948 Bowman baseball set gave the hobby a tentative … [Read more...]

Great American Baseball Card Book is Back on Kindle

July 6, 2015 By Adam Hughes

If not for a chance encounter in 1972, The Great American Baseball Card Flipping, Trading And Bubblegum Book might never have been born and the hobby might never grown into the bustling industry that we know today. Indeed, when a curious collector walked into a Boston bookstore that summer looking for a book about baseball cards, he couldn't have known that he was about to … [Read more...]

1955 Bowman Baseball Set Marked Company’s Farewell

July 3, 2015 By Adam Hughes

Bowman 1955 Baseball 5-Cent Wrapper

Imagine for a moment that it's late 1954 and your boss calls you into his office with exciting, yet terrifying, news: he's putting YOU in charge of saving a crumbling bubble gum card empire that not too long ago virtually created the entire hobby. How would you go about designing the 1955 Bowman baseball set to pique collector interest and stave off extinction for another … [Read more...]

Vintage Set of the Week: 1974 Topps Baseball

June 26, 2015 By Adam Hughes

In February of 1974, baseball fans climbed out of their winter cocoons to find history waiting on their icy  doorsteps, courtesy of Hank Aaron and his impending assault on Babe Ruth's all-time home run record. Whether they realized it or not, collectors were on the verge of a different sort of history because, by the time Al Downing delivered his fateful high fastball to … [Read more...]

Blindness Can’t Stop This Kid’s Love for Cards, Sports, Music

June 24, 2015 By Adam Hughes

In many regards, 15-year-old Jake Cohen is a typical hobbyist, adding to his collection whenever he can and pouring over his cards to learn more about the players and teams they depict. However, there is one big difference between Jake and most collectors who spend hours reading and sorting their cards -- he has been blind since the sixth grade. Jake is a 13-year survivor of … [Read more...]

1965 Topps Baseball Set Has Solid Rookie Class

June 19, 2015 By Adam Hughes

Jim Kaat 1965 Topps

When spring training gave way to cold early-season games in April of 1965, veteran baseball fans probably figured they were in for some changes in the new season. The vaunted New York Yankees had made it to the World Series the year before, but their foundation was cracked and aging. On the other side of the continent, the Los Angeles Dodgers had somehow slid to seventh place … [Read more...]
