Year: 1951

Set: Bowman (Rate)

Card: #257 Birdie Tebbetts


“ No position or team on the front. No stats on the back... ” -switzr1

“ Vintage is always cool. Back should have rotated more before uploading, interesting name he's got there. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ Cannot get enough of the "real vintage" cards ! AWESOME !!! ” -uncaian

“ Now we're talking. Love the classics! I have one card from this set, Musial, but it has a small crease. Got it from a lot my dad bought me many years ago. Thanks Dad! ” -CluelessJoe

“ Even with the lack of stats, I really like this set. Maybe it's the age, maybe it's the fact that I had a handful given to me when I was a teenager and they are currently the oldest cards I own. Maybe ... they're just cool. ” -vrooomed

“ Superb!!! No holofoil, refraction, gold frame or other gimmicks. Just a clean image of the player, his name, and team uniform with logo. Plenty of juicy information on the back too, including his academic accomplishments. Wish there were stats, but I guess we can't have everything... ” -dilemma19

“ Love the card! Love the name! Envious of all holding any/all of the fourteen listed on the site! ” -bkklaos

“ Ah, the old Indians logo, hilariously awful. Other than lacking a stat table, everything to love about this card. ” -wax_house

“ Love vintage. Oops "Rex Sox"? Did I say I love vintage? I need to look for this card and the other 95% of this set I don't have. I have like 6 cards from this set. ” -captkirk42

“ The background is the best part of this card. ” -carthage44

...love the '51B set.  I started with the complete reprint set and then began replacing reprints with originals.

Great looking card. From a much simpler time with no foolishness to ruin it.

As a kid, I always thought he had neat name   "Birdie".

The nickname is still around. One of my co-workers' name is Gregory, but everyone knows him as Birdie. Hardly anyone knows his real name.
