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.

2011-12 Fleer Retro #50 Chris Paul Front

121. 2011-12 Fleer Retro #50 Chris Paul

Born: 5/6/1985

Reason Chosen: I really like the retro sets, and while I don't watch the NBA much anymore, I remember watching CP play. It does make me old to realize he's younger than I am though.

2012 Upper Deck MLS #172 Lamar Neagle Front

122. 2012 Upper Deck MLS #172 Lamar Neagle

Born: 5/7/1987

Reason Chosen: yada yada, needed soccer cards to fill out collection yada yada...

2001 Fleer WWF Raw Is War #39 The Rock Front

123. 2001 Fleer WWF Raw Is War #39 The Rock

Born: 5/8 (No Year Given On The Card)

Reason Chosen: I mean, it's The Rock, how would I not include him? Plus I really want to add some wrestlers to this list, and since I don't have a lot of WCW cards laying around, this will work.

124. 2008 PopCardz #9 Rosario Dawson

Born: 5/9 (No Year Given On The Card)

Reason Chosen: I'm not the biggest fan of Rosario Dawson, but she has been in a couple things I liked. She was in Clerks 2 and thought she did a great job. She was also in Netflix's Daredevil and again, thought she did a great job.

2014 Sports Illustrated for Kids #293 Cam Newton Front

125. 2014 Sports Illustrated for Kids #293 Cam Newton

NOTE: NO 5/10 CARD IS IN THE COLLECTION YET!

Born: 5/11/1989

Reason Chosen: Wanted more SI For Kids cards, and while its possible his best years are behind him, he was fire his first couple years in the league.

1996 Select Certified #97 Lawrence Phillips Front

126. 1996 Select Certified #97 Lawrence Phillips

Born: 5/12/1975

Reason Chosen: There was a lot of hype for Lawrence in college, and for the most part, he deserved it. However off the field issues plagued him. While I was never really a fan of him, it was sad to hear he passed away in prison a few years back.

2012 Upper Deck MLS #200 Tyler Polak Front

127. 2012 Upper Deck MLS #200 Tyler Polak

Born: 5/13/1992

Reason Chosen: Another guy destined for greatness who went to a college in Nebraska (Creighton).... wait, its a soccer card from the same set, moving on.

128. 2009 SAGE HIT #47 Clay Matthews

Born: 5/14/1986

Reason Chosen: I've always been a fan of Clay's. My mom though who is a diehard Packers fan, wasn't so sure at first. She didn't like his hair. Then suddenly a couple years later she liked his hair. She wasn't happy when she heard he signed with the Rams.

129. 2014 Donruss #199 George Brett

Born: 5/15/1953

Reason Chosen: Do you really think I wouldn't put George Brett in this collection? Some may wonder why I used a card that doesn't depict his team, but outside not seeing the logo on his helmet, they took a good photo and worked around it.

130. 1990 Topps #555 Jack Morris

Born:5/16/1955

Reason Chosen: Despite being an avid Royals fan, there are so many Tigers players I like. Morris was one of them and it's not a stretch to imagine I'd include him in this set.

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.

Happy Birthday
