Happy Birthday

by jupiterhill - 176 cards (Last updated on Oct 1, 2020)

Originally the concept was called "The Birthday Binder" which I would have one card for each day of the year. Since I moved away from binders, I have created a collection on here and will also use this list. The only criteria is each person depicted must have their birth date listed on the card. They must be real people, but otherwise, any celebrity, athlete, politician, or whoever may be chosen for that specific date. At times I reserve the right to remove or replace the card or the person for that date. I will try to update it at the beginning of each month, and whenever I add or remove cards.

91. 1991 Topps #18 Rodney Hampton

Born: 4/3/1969

Reason Chosen: It reminds me of the first year I collected cards and remember having this card.

92. 1994-95 Fleer #67 Allan Houston

Born: 4/4/1971

Reason Chosen: For some reason I really liked Allan Houston.

93. 1993 Ultra #369 Cris Carpenter

Born: 4/5/1965

Reason Chosen: I really really liked the Marlins uniforms the first year.

94. 1991 Topps #456 Sterling Sharpe

Born: 4/6/1965

Reason Chosen: Another card reminding me of my first year of collecting, but not sure it will stay in the collection.

1991 Upper Deck #429 Steve Wisniewski Front

95. 1991 Upper Deck #429 Steve Wisniewski

Born: 4/7/1967

Reason Chosen: At this point this is just a placeholder for now.

2011 Panini Americana #10 John Schneider Front

96. 2011 Panini Americana #10 John Schneider

Born: 4/8/1960

Reason Chosen: I liked him when he was a good old boy never meaning no harm.

97. 2014 Topps #96 Zac Stacy

Born: 4/9/1991

Reason Chosen: I remember him playing for Vandy. Oddly I remember his jersey number was 2 in college. I associated it with a scene from the movie Stroker Ace. When the track announcer was announcing the drivers, he announced the #2 Buick was sponsored by J.D. Stacy, and driven by Tim Richmond. Odd to remember, but as a result I always hoped Zac Stacy would prevail just because of that, which has no relation to him.

98. 2008 PopCardz #18 Mandy Moore

Born 4/10 (No Year Given On Card)

Reason Chosen: I doubt I'd ever finish the Popcardz set, but had some extras and this one fit in here. She was really good in the movie Saved!

99. 1991 Score #732 Turner Ward

Born: 4/11/1965

Reason Chosen: I remember having some Turner Ward cards when I was a kid, but from when he played in Milwaukee.

100. 1995 Score #31 Lorenzo White

Born: 4/12/1966

Reason Chosen: I don't remember ever collecting these, so this was a new design to me.

I really liked this list! My favorites parts are the write up on the Mike Marshall card. I have a Luke Walker from 1969 that is folded and wrinkled and trimmed because I kept it in my back pocket for good luck when I was a kid. I wouldn't trade that card for anything now. Also the Eddie Kennison write up brought back memories of some of the Pittsburgh Pirates boxes I bought off ebay, now I have very, very, very many Steve Cookes.

Good Job!

Thank you. I really need to scan the Marshall card so it will show up on here. I miss the days where buying a box off ebay was cheap enough to enjoy. Now shipping just about kills any deal.
