Over 37000 unique cards can be viewed, searched and “flipped” in my new baseball card database.  I hope you enjoy these cards.  Maybe you’ll find something interesting.  I’ve spent hours looking through these cards.

Funny Baseball Cards

Take a look at Oscar Gamble’s large Afro hair or Wally Moon’s ‘eyebrow’ or Don Mossi’s ears.  Ross Grimsley also had a nice hairdo.  John Pacella of the dreadful Mets of the early 80′s lost his hat.

Check out Jason Michael’s big glove and Kirby Puckett carried a big bat.

Larry Haney appears to be a left-handed catcher in this reverse negative.   Bob Uecker is a right-handed batter but posed left-handed.

My Collection

I currently have about 15,000 cards in my baseball card collection. I have a least one card from every year from 1968 to 1995.

The oldest card in my collection is a 1968 Al Weis card. Al played a major role for the 1969 Miracle Mets in the World Series. In Game 2 his 9th-inning single drove in the winning run in a 2-1 victory. In the clincher, Game 5 at Shea Stadium, he homered off McNally in the seventh inning to tie the game at 3-3. The Mets scored two runs in the eighth to complete their improbable World Series victory.

Of my older baseball cards, I have quite a few from the 1974 set. I happen to have a Mike Schmidt and Charlie Hough rookie card. I also have Dan Fife’s only baseball card ever.

I started purchasing card packs in 1978. This set had a game on the back called “PLAY BALL. Played by two”. The instructions were as follows:

Player has 50 player cards. Toss coin for who goes first. First player turns cards over one at a time. Attempting to score runs until 3 outs have been made. After 3 outs, second player begins. Game is played with 9 innings. In case of tie, play extra innings.

If you turned up Paul Blair’s baseball card you would have a home run.

I always thought Mark McGwire’s United Stated Baseball Team rookie card would be worth a lot some day but its value has likely taken a major hit since the steroid scandal. I have four of these cards.  I also found a couple
Barry Bonds rookie cards.
