1909-11 American Caramel. Jeff Sweeney. Sweeneys was a South Bend bar that closed back in 1976. The iconic shirt was popular among Notre Dame students. @sabrbbcards.bsky.social #cardsky
1967 Topps. Amazing, but true. In ‘66, Larry threw 5 complete game shutouts against the defending WS champion Dodgers. @sabrbbcards.bsky.social @number5typecard.bsky.social @adarowski.bsky.social #cardsky
1949. I’ve never picked a peck of pickled peppers, but I just snagged this Hal Peck who played pepper in the pros. @sabrbbcards.bsky.social @tjpilotsfan.bsky.social @splitseason1981.bsky.social @phitter72.bsky.social @seank138.bsky.social #cardsky

Cleveland Crocs! I’ll be here until Tuesday, try the veal. @heavyjstudios.bsky.social @tjpilotsfan.bsky.social @splitseason1981.bsky.social @phitter72.bsky.social @billpearch.bsky.social @markarmour04.bsky.social

1949 Bowman. The youngest person to homer in an MLB game. 17 yrs, 257 days. @sabrbbcards.bsky.social @tjpilotsfan.bsky.social @splitseason1981.bsky.social @phitter72.bsky.social @seank138.bsky.social @number5typecard.bsky.social @shlabotnik-rpt.bsky.social #cardsky
1967 Laughlin World Series. With this card, I’ve completed the set. An Odyssey years in the making. Hope Homer is proud of me. @sabrbbcards.bsky.social @tjpilotsfan.bsky.social @splitseason1981.bsky.social @phitter72.bsky.social @number5typecard.bsky.social #cardsky
Just a guess. The Viscount of Venezuela? When nicknames were great. @sabrbbcards.bsky.social @adarowski.bsky.social @tjpilotsfan.bsky.social @splitseason1981.bsky.social @phitter72.bsky.social #cardsky
To the best of my knowledge, this miscreant is still at large. @sabrbbcards.bsky.social @tjpilotsfan.bsky.social @splitseason1981.bsky.social @phitter72.bsky.social @number5typecard.bsky.social @shlabotnik-rpt.bsky.social @gimapreceptor.bsky.social @seank138.bsky.social #cardsky

1958 Topps. Stan “The Man” Musial. Tragic his dearth of Topps cards. Perhaps they threw in the towel after seeing his ‘52 & ‘53 Bowmans. @sabrbbcards.bsky.social #cardsky
1970 Topps. Cesar Tovar cameo, but more importantly; who is the guy wearing just a towel? Topps collectors need to know. @sabrbbcards.bsky.social @djgloverepair.bsky.social @tjpilotsfan.bsky.social @splitseason1981.bsky.social @number5typecard.bsky.social @adarowski.bsky.social #cardsky

1934 Goudey. Bengals legends and two different Lous. @sabrbbcards.bsky.social @grandcards.bsky.social #cardsky
1954 Johnston Cookies. The first Ernie Johnson. His descendant is pretty awesome too. @sabrbbcards.bsky.social #cardsky
One of the hobby’s classic reads is now archived. Keith Olbermann’s 1985 Baseball Cards Magazine article explores the fascinating world of Topps printers’ proofs and dozens of known variations. www.postwarcards.com/topps-printe...

The lens of Alfred Eisenstaedt. Wimbledon back in the day. @mattypabst.bsky.social @buntwaxera.bsky.social
On September 6, 1912, Smoky Joe Wood faced Walter Johnson in a memorable pitching duel at Fenway Park. Matched pitch-for-pitch, Wood eventually bested Johnson 1-0 for a two-hit complete game shutout, his 30th win of the year. @markhoyle4.bsky.social @markarmour04.bsky.social #redsox
