The perfect playing days Satch card and price point eluded me until this beautiful copy popped up. I think this will be the only card I buy in 2025. Yes, it's January but I don’t feel like I need anything else. Maybe that changes in 6 months but for now, this card is enough for a good long time.

Type 2 is still off of the original negative meaning the image should still be pretty clear and free of the pasted captions that are part of image thats usually in a type 3 image. Here is a type 2 of Cool Papa Bell and Candy Jim Taylor vs a type 3 of Larry Doby with the Newark Eagles.

It's not often you get to add a vintage piece of Josh Gibson to your collection and I can't help but share it on his birthday. Although this is a later reprint (type 4) from 1972, I'm extremely happy since it is almost a zero percent chance I obtain a photo from his playing days.

Happy Birthday Larry Doby!

Here is my wirephoto of the MLB pioneer from when he was signed from the Newark Eagles to the Cleveland Indians in 1947. Integrating the AL took a terrible toll on Doby. On his birthday let us not forget what a brave man he was in this act and in his service during WWII.

I absolutely love this. I'm a fan of the Almendares as well and Carribbean baseball in general. I commissioned @cashlumber.bsky.social for this Almendares piece to go along with my team premium.

I appreciate your website. Sometimes it's a struggle to convey how good these guys were so thank you!

52 Topps Monte is the quintessential baseball card. This trimmed, scuffed, and autograph copy is far and away my favorite copy even though I own a nice SGC 5.
