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.

51. 1989 Donruss #180 Alan Trammell

Born: 2/21/1958

Reason Chosen: Chosen before he was announced for the Hall of Fame, I've always liked Trammell, and this is the most Tigers card you could find. I love the logo and the jersey too.

1994 Upper Deck Fun Pack #127 Bobby Bonilla Front

52. 1994 Upper Deck Fun Pack #127 Bobby Bonilla

*NOTE: No February 22nd card has made its way into this collection, yet!

Born: 2/23/1963

Reason Chosen: Always love hearing the story of his deferred payment from the Mets, plus I want as many Fun Pack cards I can find.

2009 Donruss Americana #69 Barry Bostwick Front

53. 2009 Donruss Americana #69 Barry Bostwick

Born: 2/24/1945

Reason Chosen: I needed more non-sport cards, and this one was close.

54. 2011 Topps #113 James Starks

Born: 2/25/1986

Reason Chosen: While I don't like the jersey or the helmet, I like James Starks, and I saw him play a game in college. Possibly the first college football game I attended. It was Mizzou vs. Buffalo in 2008.

55. 2012 BP Olympic/Paralympic Games #NNO Sanya Richards-Ross

Born: 2/26/1985

Reason Chosen: I wanted to incorporate oddball cards and sets, and this one fit perfectly.

56. 2006-07 Topps #166 Devin Harris

Born: 2/27/1983

Reason Chosen: I just love this card. I know he's setting up a play (I guess) but it just looks funny. If I ever revive my Card Hall of Fame on my blog, this will be added.

2012 Upper Deck Goodwin Champions #36 Eric Lindros Front

57. 2012 Upper Deck Goodwin Champions #36 Eric Lindros

Born: 2/28/1973

Reason Chosen: I don't have many Lindros cards, so this will be a good fit for now.

2012 Upper Deck MLS #24 Perry Kitchen Front

58. 2012 Upper Deck MLS #24 Perry Kitchen

Born: 2/29/1992

Reason Chosen: No real reason, a placeholder for now.

2012 Upper Deck MLS #145 Joao Plata Front

59. 2012 Upper Deck MLS #145 Joao Plata

Born: 3/1/1992

Reason Chosen: No real reason, most likely a placeholder.

2012 Topps #86 Sebastian Janikowski Front

60. 2012 Topps #86 Sebastian Janikowski

Born: 3/2/1978

Reason Chosen: While I've never been a Raiders fan and never will, I've always liked Janikowski's ability to hit the long field goals. He tied the NFL record for longest field goal before Matt Prater broke it a couple years later.

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.
