Amazing Gift from bigdog13

Secret Santa 2022. The AWESOME gift received from Herbinator. Thank you so much!

Many thanks to Kevin (kdinthejaw) for the assortment of CFL cards. The highlight were the elusive 1992 CFL AW Red Foil (Maple Leaf) cards. Thank you! I had given up hope of finding any to build out my set but you have changed that for me.
I have attached only one card for reference.

The great cards I got from, JF, (Al Thib). Very gracious and thank you very much. Merry Christmas everyone.

A big thank you to Wuzzleteats (Greg) for this nice selection of cards.

Thanks to petibonum for the 4 sets. Only listing the first card of each set!

Galtview sent me these awesome cards this year. So many that mean a lot to me due to how close some sets are to being completed, or, how hard some have been to find.

These are the cards I received for winning vrooomed's 10th Anniversary trivia contest.

Each player’s card is from 1978 or the next possible year, except that multi-player cards, game cards and a few other types are skipped over and used only absent other options. Minor league cards are used as a last resort. I own each card pictured. The highly uninteresting rules are in my profile page, linked above.

Since 1901, 1,866 Players have played for the Boston Red Sox

Of those players 253 never had a baseball card issued.

Of the 1613 player who have appeared on a card,
471 never have had a card picturing them with the Red Sox!
96 of the 471 without a Red Sox card, do have a minor league card for a Red Sox affiliate.

That leaves 1238 players who played for the Sox and have either a major or minor leagues Red Sox card.

I currently have cards of 1150 of those players leaving only 88 Red Sox players I do not have a card of.

This list is an alphabetical of all the players I do NOT have a Red Sox card of.


**Jack Billingham 1980 Red Sox Postcards - Not listed on TCDB**

If you have a card available of any of the following players in a Red Sox major or Minor league uniform, I would be interested in trading for or in the case of vintage, purchasing.

Last year I trailed off and didn't open all the trades I got, since my card stuff was put away to work on models. Hopefully I'll keep up with the 2022 trades...

Includes all major leaguers with a Fangraphs or Baseball Reference primary or total WAR of at least 20 in games after 1946, up through players who retired and/or played their last major league game before 8/28/77 (when I started following baseball).

All cards issued during or within a year after the player’s professional playing career. I own each card pictured.

Sets that require clean up of card sub-numbers.

ie. Set has cards 1a and VAR 1b. Card numbers should actually be 1 [sub a] and 1 [sub b]

Sets that have been corrected for 1a -> 1 [sub a] card numbers.

"Main Team" According to BaseballHall.org on each inductee's bio

Also I'm using the current name for each franchise.

The year the curse was broken by sweeping the Cardinals in 4.

I fell in love w this set when it originally came out. It's 1 of my all-time favorite sets. I am looking to complete the GU cards.

From or played minor league in Idaho

1/17/22: It's done! The display is up!

The History --

Looking at my displayed vintage baseball cards, I became disturbed that three of my four displays were virtually all white players, because I mostly display cards from the pre-Topps years, i.e., before 1951. So there just weren't many black players on cards. This bothered me.

So I decided to make another display of all the first black players on every team, using the 16 teams that existed before expansion (credit to kcjays for the idea).

This is the list of players. I am picturing the card I have for each player, usually a card from their first year with the team. Sometimes, that was prohibitively expensive, so I got another card. One card is missing at the moment. I'll update, of course, if I get different cards.

As always, it's never quite as easy as it should be. John Kennedy, the first black player on the Phillies, has no cards at all. That actually works out perfectly, as I have 15 slots in the display case I intend to use/create (from an old wall-mounted cassette holder). Hank Thompson, the first black player for both the Giants and the St. Louis Browns, has no card of him with the Browns. But I'll use a Giants card in the St. Louis slot and use Monte Irvin, who debuted for the Giants on the same day as Thompson, for the Giants. And Nino Escalera, the first black player on the Redlegs, has no vintage cards. But Chuck Harmon debuted for them the same day, so I'll go with him. It's complicated, but actually works out very well for my purposes.

As soon as I threw away most of my cassettes, I looked at the holders and thought "baseball card display!" I intend to put a color picture of each teams logo from the year behind the player. Except for Chief Wahoo. The irony there would just be too much, so I'll go with a generic "Cleveland." I might put logos of various negro league teams around the edges, but maybe not. I will post a picture of the display when it's up if I can figure out how to do that. It will have some holes for awhile and some cards will eventually be replaced, but I have a critical mass of the cards, so I can put this up as soon as I fix up the case. For now they'll all go into a binder.

My intent here, is not to create controversy or debate. I just want to honor these (sometimes forgotten) pioneers of baseball. Also, note that these are NOT the first 16 black players in baseball after 1947. Some teams, like the Dodgers, had more than one black player pretty quickly. They're also not all rookie cards -- the Robinson because I can't afford it -- the Virgil because he played for other teams before he became the first black Tiger, for example.

Note, while not all were successful, five of the first eight players on this list are now in the Hall of Fame. ALL of those players were told they wouldn't be on teams at all if they weren't black.

Enjoy.

Cards in my collection with factory autographs including Bible verses

Prize package received for "winning" the 2022 baseball playoff prediction contest. Received a nice Hank Aaron highlight, a handful of Ravens cards, 3 Orioles cards from my wantlist (including a need for my Orioles Topps base sets from 1954-present - see my list of remaining needs) and a few other interesting cards to round out a fantastic prize! Thanks Dan for sponsoring this contest!

Ah, the team photo card – all of your favorite players, none of which you can actually see!

Some fun facts gleaned while making this list:
- The same team photo was used on the 1960, 1961, 1962, 1963, and 1964 cards. Come on!
- 1965 and 1966 used the same photo as well!!
- 1971 and 1972 also!!!
- 1980 and 1981 were not the *exact* same photo, but appear to be photos taken moments apart.
- The 1977 card is the only one where players aren't wearing white uniforms.
- Taking the team photo in the bullpen is weird.

Here are my after release signed Detroit Tiger Cards. Some gathered in person, some found searching boxes, some found at shows.

Players debuting in Major League Baseball during the 2022 season, in order.

I've changed my sorting methods about 1,000,000 times since joining this site, mostly because I hate organizing my cards, but I love looking at my cards. My new method, which I won't bore you with, may solve that problem, and help me finish some sets, and in the meantime, these are the complete sets I have come across. This is more for my benefit, than for your entertainment.

Top 100 Liiga all time point leaders since 1975

North Americans with at least 1 game played in Finnish Liiga 2022-23 season.

No cards:
Seamus Donohue, SaiPa Lappeenranta
Kevin Fitzgerald, SaiPa Lappeenranta
Will Graber, Ässät Pori
Greg Moro, SaiPa Lappeenranta

This set is missing a few key characters (Johnny Gasperini, Badger Meyer, Rocko, Roy Stalin) but still offers enough to be released, maybe as a food issue or mail-in offer. It would fill out a nine-pocket sheet quite nicely.

Gummy Arts got this set started with a Johnny Lawrence card, so I'll take it the rest of the way. Unfortunately most of the young actors are not on cards (yet).

Cards that show players on teams you forgot or did not know they played for.
