He doesn't speak the language so I can't blame him, but Paul Skenes wrote his name wrong for these cards... He wrote スケネス instead of スキーンズ.

Your Cards of the Day: "Profiles of Discouragement" The Braves moved to Atlanta and the Angels to Anaheim (California) in 1966. To discourage confusion, Topps went with no caps, airbrushed insignia or, in this case, profiles. @sabrbbcards.bsky.social

Doug Clemens played parts of 9 yrs in majors. This is only Topps card. Why? Should have 1964-66 at least. Exclusive with Fleer (like Wills, Adcock, Short, Dick Hall)? I'd love to know for sure. @sabrbbcards.bsky.social @nightowlcardz.bsky.social @spoart.bsky.social @tjpilotsfan.bsky.social #cardsky

You know they could have cropped that photo tighter so some random Giants player wasn't on Hank's card. Such disrespect. #CardSky

Salute to the 1911 Portland Pippins of the Northwestern League. Finished 84-77 in their first year in the league. And in case you're wondering, a pippin is either a type of apple or a highly admired or very admirable person or thing.
