7 Career-Chronicling Phil Niekro Baseball Cards

December 27, 2020 By Rich Mueller

Catching knuckleball specialist Phil Niekro was an adventure. "Niekro struck out a hitter once and I never touched the ball," recalled Bob Uecker. " It hit me in the shinguard, bounced out to Clete Boyer at third base and he threw out the runner at first." "Knucksie" carved out a 24-year career baffling hitters with his fluttering tosses.  Sometimes he was virtually … [Read more...] about 7 Career-Chronicling Phil Niekro Baseball Cards

Lou Whitaker’s Earliest Cards as Tigers Great Awaits Hall Call

May 11, 2020 By Rich Mueller

From the late 1970s to the early 90s, you knew who would be playing second base for the Detroit Tigers.  Like the fellow prospect who occupied shortstop for about the same amount of time, he was a steady presence, whether the Tigers were really good, really bad or just average.  You could find Lou Whitaker baseball cards in packs of Topps cards every year, too.  … [Read more...] about Lou Whitaker’s Earliest Cards as Tigers Great Awaits Hall Call

December 22, 2019 By Anson Whaley

From 1982 until his retirement after the 1996 season, Ozzie Smith was the face of the St. Louis Cardinals. During that time, he was named as an All-Star in every season, save for 1993. Ironically, that season he batted .288, which was one of the highest averages of his career.  However, Smith's earliest cards feature the defensive standout with the San Diego Padres, his … [Read more...] about 40 Years Later, High-Grade Ozzie Smith 1979 Topps Rookie Cards High in Demand

Editor’s Blog: Recalling the Frenzy of 1979 Topps Test Comics

August 30, 2016 By Rich Mueller

The card companies issue multiple sets per month these days. The sport doesn't even have to be in season for some new product to hit the market.  That's not exactly a revelation.  The flood of products really began in the 1990s. The contrast between modern era and the world of collectors of current releases back in the late 1970s is mind-boggling and one unique, one-and-done … [Read more...] about Editor’s Blog: Recalling the Frenzy of 1979 Topps Test Comics
