August 31, 2022 By Horacio Ruiz

This article is our second part in a series looking at the rookie cards of the first African-American players for each of the “Original 16” Major League Baseball teams. We ended Part I with Ernie Banks, a Hall of Famer and arguably the greatest Cub ever.  Unlike the previous eight players profiled, which included five Hall of Famers, this next list of players does not … [Read more...] about Rookie Cards of the First Black Players for Each Big League Team, Part II

Rookie Cards of the First Black Players for Each Big League Team, Part I

August 24, 2022 By Horacio Ruiz

Vintage cards take us back in time, revisiting the past and learning about players that gradually fade as the years pass. The beauty of these cards is that they document history. For baseball, that means providing collectors with a timeline of the game’s integration.   The road through the destruction of baseball’s color line wasn’t a straight shot. In some … [Read more...] about Rookie Cards of the First Black Players for Each Big League Team, Part I

Step-by-Step Guide for Investing in Vintage Baseball Cards

May 1, 2018 By Rich Mueller

Mickey Mantle 1952 Topps cards

Yeah, we know.  Buy stocks and mutual funds. Don’t invest in baseball cards. Believe me, our retirement savings are not locked up in cardboard and we're not suggesting yours should be either. But… there’s no denying that high quality vintage cards have been very solid performers over time. If only we’d bought a few ’52 Mantles when nice ones could be had for under … [Read more...] about Step-by-Step Guide for Investing in Vintage Baseball Cards

1959-60 Darigold Farms Sets Featured Future Major League Stars

April 4, 2018 By Bob D'Angelo

A century ago, Darigold Farms was founded in the Pacific Northwest, when five Puget Sound dairy co-ops teamed up to form the United Dairyman’s Association. That group took on the name Darigold in 1925 after a contest was held to create a snappier name for the company. Dairy products are Darigold’s specialty, so it’s not surprising that the company dabbled in baseball cards at … [Read more...] about 1959-60 Darigold Farms Sets Featured Future Major League Stars

Here's an overview of the history of the Kahn's issues. Kahn's … [Read more...] about Kahn’s Baseball Cards Had A 15-Year Run

5 Brooks Robinson Cards Capture Career of the ‘Human Vacuum Cleaner’

May 15, 2016 By Bob D'Angelo

When I attended junior high school in early 1971, one of the sports magazines I read contained a clever poem that paid tribute to the 1970 sports season. One verse summed up the defensive skills of Hall of Famer Brooks Robinson. "Pity the poor Big Red Machine, Brooksie stripped its motor clean."  The poem might have come from Sport magazine, but I am not 100 percent … [Read more...] about 5 Brooks Robinson Cards Capture Career of the ‘Human Vacuum Cleaner’

Best Baseball Rookie Cards by Year: The 1950s

December 20, 2015 By Chris Levy

Best Rookie Baseball Cards of the 1950's

Rookies are the most popular and sought after cards by collectors of post-war baseball cards. Before World War II a rookie card is something of much debate and conjecture with spirited arguments on baseball card forums about which eclectic entry might be considered the 'true' rookie card of the game's greatest stars. However, thanks to Bowman and Topps a sense of consistency … [Read more...] about Best Baseball Rookie Cards by Year: The 1950s
