5 Bobby Thomson Cards to Honor the ‘Shot Heard Round the World’

October 2, 2021 By Rich Mueller

Unless you’re a real historian, you might not realize that Bobby Thomson hit game-winning homers off Ralph Branca in two games of the special 1951 National League playoff.  It was Thomson’s two-run blast off Branca in Game 1 that gave the New York Giants a lead in the series.  Of course, the one that’s been immortalized happened on October 3, 1951 when Thomson … [Read more...] about 5 Bobby Thomson Cards to Honor the ‘Shot Heard Round the World’

A Look at the Evolution of Early Bowman Baseball Cards

June 18, 2019 By Anson Whaley

After World War II, the Bowman Gum Company quickly became a viable competitor to Topps. Both companies produced sets early in the postwar era but Bowman would eventually get swallowed up by its rival. Topps, of course, ceased printing cards under the Bowman label after 1955 until reviving the brand back in 1989. But while Bowman's first run lasted only from 1948 through … [Read more...] about A Look at the Evolution of Early Bowman Baseball Cards

1951 Bowman Baseball display box

A year before one of the biggest releases in baseball card history, the 1951 Bowman Baseball set ushered in a little history of its own.  It just took us all a couple of decades to understand the importance of each. The '51 Bowman set featured cards slightly smaller than modern ones today at 2 1/16" x 3 1/8" but they were still bigger than the squarish cards that Bowman had … [Read more...] about 1951 Bowman Baseball Set Offers Mantle, Mays, More

Five Underrated Willie Mays Cards

May 5, 2013 By Rich Mueller

Willie Mays 1952 Red Man

The Say Hey Kid is no kid anymore.  Willie Mays is now well into his 80s which may put kids of the 1950s and 60s into a state of shock.  Wasn’t it yesterday that he tracked down that fly ball to the alley?  Last week when he creamed that pitch for a grand slam?  No, sadly, it’s been 40 years since he last suited up and he was no kid then.  What better time, though, to … [Read more...] about Five Underrated Willie Mays Cards
