Happy Birthday

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



11. 2008 Press Pass SE #45 Dennis Dixon


Born: 1/11/1985

Reason Chosen: I wanted to incorporate some Press Pass and Sage cards in the set, and this Dennis Dixon fit the bill. While I have not attachment to him, this card might stick around because I really liked this set and want it represented in some way.


12. 2009 Donruss Americana #100 Julia Louis-Dreyfus


*NOTE: No January 12th card has made its way into this collection, yet!
Born: 1/13/1961

Reason Chosen: I wanted to include some non-sports people to the collection and I liked Julia in Seinfeld and Christmas Vacation, so I included her. It could be replaced anytime though.


13. 2009 Donruss Americana #39 Jordan Ladd


Born: 1/14/1975

Reason Chosen: Again, needed some non-sports and found this set nearby. I did like Jordan in the movie Club Dread though, so it was an easy choice to include.


14. 1969 Topps #17 Mike Marshall


Born: 1/15/1943

Reason Chosen: This card was part of my dad's collection I inherited when passed. As I was going through them, this one had the Pilots name crossed out and EXPOS written under it. Either he or an uncle did it, and for that reason, this will forever stay in my collection. I might upload that scan for this collection one day.


15. 2013 Topps #350 Albert Pujols


Born:1/16/1980

Reason Chosen: Albert is a PC and this was a duplicate. While I will keep him in this collection, this specific card may change. I would like an earlier year duplicate of him, but I do like that this is an Angels card just because I don't get to see him play as much now that he's not with St. Louis.


16. 2007-08 Upper Deck First Edition #198 Dwyane Wade


Born: 1/17/1982

Reason Chosen: Though I honestly started to check out of the NBA by this time, I collected a lot of these cards, and was a fan of D-Wade. I can't get into the current NBA but I still need to represent basketball and this was a good choice. Maybe one day I will choose a different card, but its not high on my list of priorities.


17. 2009 Topps American Heritage #74 Daniel Webster


Born: 1/18/1782

Reason Chosen: No real reason other than being a non-sport selection and not a celebrity, so it was a nice inclusion. He was Secretary of State so its not like he's a nobody.


18. 1969 Topps #309 Walt Williams


Born: 1/19/1943

Reason Chosen: I wanted to include some older cards and this one was nearby. It is very possible I will switch it out for something else, but again, no real rush.


19. 1996 Select Certified #110 Eddie Kennison


Born: 1/20/1973

Reason Chosen: When I got back into collecting, I won a box of Rams cards off Ebay. Included was about 6,000 doubles of this card it seemed, so it always reminds me of some of the times I bought cards off Ebay, and why I shouldn't buy large lots of them, no matter how cheap.


20. 2012 Upper Deck Goodwin Champions #166 Stonewall Jackson


Born: 1/21/ 1824

Reason Chosen: Just wanted to populate the collection with more non-sports people. Not much into history, but thought this was a good card to include.

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.
