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.

2012 Upper Deck Goodwin Champions #157 Kelly Slater Front

41. 2012 Upper Deck Goodwin Champions #157 Kelly Slater

Born: 2/11/1972

Reason Chosen: How often do you have cards of surfers? I had to mix it up some.

42. 2011 SAGE HIT #17 DeMarco Murray

Born: 2/12/1988

Reason Chosen: The 2011 Hit set was one of the worst ones, but I had this DeMarco Murray card close, so it was chosen.

43. 2008 PopCardz #26 Mena Suvari

Born: 2/13 (no year given on card)

Reason Chosen: I had doubles of a few of these cards, and I like Mena Suvari.

1997 Topps Chrome - Underclassmen #U9 Steve McNair Front

44. 1997 Topps Chrome - Underclassmen #U9 Steve McNair

Born: 2/14/1973

Reason Chosen: I was a huge Big Air fan, and even better, he was born on the same day as me (well, I was born on the same day as him, 9 years later). It was sad how his life ended, but I wanted him to represent my birthday.

2009 Upper Deck First Edition #82 Johnny Cueto Front

45. 2009 Upper Deck First Edition #82 Johnny Cueto

Born: 2/15/1986

Reason Chosen: I liked Cueto's stint in Kansas City, so I thought I'd add him to this collection. I might replace with a better card one day.

2016 Topps - First Pitch (Series 1) #FP-13 LeVar Burton Front

46. 2016 Topps - First Pitch (Series 1) #FP-13 LeVar Burton

Note: MUST REPLACE CARD, NO BIRTH DATE GIVEN ON CARD. Too bad, I really wanted a LeVar Burton card in the collection.

2007-08 Upper Deck First Edition #191 Michael Jordan Front

47. 2007-08 Upper Deck First Edition #191 Michael Jordan

Born: 2/17/1963

Reason Chosen: Like Babe, even though I wasn't his biggest fan (though I respect his talent), I had to include him in the set.

2014 Panini Prizm Perennial Draft Picks #14 Michael Mader Front

48. 2014 Panini Prizm Perennial Draft Picks #14 Michael Mader

Born: 2/18/1994

Reason Chosen: I like to have different generations represents in the set, and I like the guys last name. Plus a shiny card, can't beat that.

1992-93 O-Pee-Chee #33 Gary Leeman Front

49. 1992-93 O-Pee-Chee #33 Gary Leeman

Born: 2/19/1964

Reason Chosen: I have very few O-Pee-Chee hockey cards, but I needed to represent it somehow in the set. Not a bad card, and I like the Flames logo. Though if I find a Hartford Whalers card, this could be replaced.

2007-08 Upper Deck First Edition #188 Stephon Marbury Front

50. 2007-08 Upper Deck First Edition #188 Stephon Marbury

Born: 2/20/1977

Reason Chosen: I always liked Marbury, and still proudly have a pair of old Starbury's. I wish the new ones had wide width sizes, but last I checked they didn't.

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.
