Year: 1990

Set: CMC (Rate)

Card: #46 Mike Birkbeck


“ I would wear that hat... Also, I would have sworn Birkbeck was in 1986 Fleer, but the database tells me otherwise. It was Mark Funderburk, not Mike Birkbeck, who shared a card with Billy Joe Robidoux. Still one of my favorite baseball names to say though. ” -switzr1

“ Like the "Z" on the cap ... we need a MLB Team w/ a Z ... ZEBRAS or ZOOLANDERS or ZIPPERS...lol, ~BOB~ ” -BOBSCARDZ

“ Former big leaguer in a minor league set. What's not to like about the design and layout? ” -vrooomed

“ Didn't know what a "Zephyr" was, so went to Wikipedia...lots of references! Greek God of the west wind? Denver Zephyrs didn't make the sports section though!? ” -bkklaos

“ I love the stitched "z" on the baseball in their logo but find that their hat looks a little to boring to me. ” -armac

“ Love that team name! ” -carthage44

“ The Zephyrs had some beautiful unis back in their green-and-blue days. Now they're in New Orleans and have gone to navy and silver. ” -jlaz10

“ Oddly, despite entering professional baseball in 1983, and the proliferation of minor league cards in the 1980s, 1990 was the first year Mike had a minor league card. His first baseball cards were all his rookies in 1987 in main Donruss, Fleer and Topps sets. ” -DaClyde

“ Still have some of these! Somewhere.... ” -Joshua825

“ Nice high top cap. Birkbeck, the kind of name I'd like to have. I like the idea that the team logo is printed on a home plate. ” -JimStaub

Seeing a Zephyrs game at old Mile High Stadium is one of my first baseball memories

Those colors are too bright at 10:30am. Or 10:30pm I think.
