Legend has it the ghost of Babe Ruth is on this 1957 Topps Mickey Mantle card. But really, it’s an unknown person who was airbrushed out. This crease-free copy will be available on my Fabulous 40s and 50s Vintage show, TOMORROW Monday 12/16 at 5 PM eastern, only on Whatnot!

Stan Musial didn’t have a Topps card prior to 1958; in fact, he didn’t have any cards from 1955 to 1957. As the story goes, in 1958, Cardinals owner Gussie Busch asked Topps for a donation to charity. Sy Berger agreed to donate $1500 if Musial would agree to be on a Topps card. #CardSky 1/2

#OTD in 1965, longtime Dodgers executive Branch Rickey passed away. Rickey was the man who signed Jackie Robinson, created the farm system, and introduced the batting helmet. Here’s my only card of him. #CardSky

One of the greatest pitchers in Japanese history, Masaichi Kaneda is the only pitcher in NPB history to win 400 games. “The Emporer” struck out nearly 4500 hitters in his career and had two no-hitters and a perfect game. #CardSky #collect #thehobby 1/2

Hall of Famer Tony Oliva’s rookie card appears in 1963 Topps, where he’s listed as Pedro Oliva due to exchanging paperwork with his younger brother to make himself more enticing to scouts. #CardSky

Bobby and Billy Shantz couldn’t have been more different, despite Billy being on the same team as his brother. 5’6” Bobby won the 1952 AL MVP and played for 16 seasons, winning 8 consecutive Gold Gloves and making 3 All-Star teams. Kid brother Billy was a towering 6’1”, but played in just 131 games.

Roy Campanella, born #OTD in 1921.

This is my Roy Campanella display, the first time I’m sharing on #CardSky and an amazing new story to share that I haven’t told yet.

The baseball on display was caught by my grandfather (a Giants fan) while on a date with my grandmother (a Dodgers fan). 1/
