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.

1991 All World CFL #69 Glenn Kulka Front

61. 1991 All World CFL #69 Glenn Kulka

Born: 3/3/1964

Reason Chosen: Not often I get Canadian Football cards, but I also chose it because he also had a career in wrestling after his football career ended.

62. 1995 Finest #244 Shane Conlan

Born: 3/4/1964

Reason Chosen: I had an extra and its nice to have a shiny card on the list especially with the protector still on it.

63. 2008 PopCardz #3 Eva Mendes

Born: 3/5/1974 (no year listed on card)

Reason Chosen: I liked the PopCardz set and had an extra one. Also wanted to include more women on this list.

64. 1987 Donruss #156 Joe Carter

Born: 3/7/1960

Reason Chosen: It's Joe Carter! Not sure I need another reason, but also liked that it was an older card and one of him while not on the Blue Jays like most of the ones I have of him are.

2009-10 Upper Deck Victory #95 Erik Ersberg Front

65. 2009-10 Upper Deck Victory #95 Erik Ersberg

Born: 3/8/1982

Reason Chosen: Hockey isn't represented too much on the list and he was born a couple weeks after I was, and that seemed like reason enough.

2012 Upper Deck Goodwin Champions #42 Clint Dempsey Front

66. 2012 Upper Deck Goodwin Champions #42 Clint Dempsey

Born: 3/9/1983

Reason Chosen: Goodwin cards aren't shown a lot on the list, and Dempsey seemed like a good name to include.

67. 1993 Wild Card #189 Rod Woodson

Born: 3/10/1965

Reason Chosen: Hall of Famer. Also one of the earliest cards I have of him.

68. 2008 PopCardz #16 Anton Yelchin

Born: 3/11/1989

Reason Chosen: Popcards double I didn't need. I don't remember ever seeing anything he was in, but one of the youngest people on this list. Sadly also one of the few deceased members on this list.

1992 Donruss #559 Darryl Strawberry Front

69. 1992 Donruss #559 Darryl Strawberry

Born: 3/12/1962

Reason Chosen: Because despite never seeing him play, he knew he was better in right field than Homer Simpson. Can't believe the Mets traded him.

2012 Upper Deck MLS #168 Blas Perez Front

70. 2012 Upper Deck MLS #168 Blas Perez

Born: 3/13/1981

Reason Chosen: No real reason, but didn't want the list to be largely Americans, so since Blas was born in Panama I thought I'd include him.

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.
