Don Drysdale spent his entire 14 year career with the Dodgers. He won the CY Young Award in 1962 and a three-time World Series champion. Drysdale was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1984

Being a Yankees fan, I remember being a kid watching “The Kid” play for the Mets and loved watching him play. Great all around player who left us way too soon.

Gary Carter played in the Major Leagues for 19 years primarily with the Expos and Mets. Carter was an 11 time all-star and won a World Series with the Mets in 1986. He won 3 Gold Glove Awards and the Silver Slugger Award 5 times. Carter was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2003.

These are one of my favorite card sets that my son and I own. Although, not finished with the set, I thought I’d share with you all.

The 1955 Topps Doubleheaders card set features 132 players (two players per card). Very similar to the Mecca Double Folds in the early 1900’s. You can fold the cards to create cards of two different players.

The unique part of this set that I love is when you lay the cards side by side in order, they form scenes from actual stadiums.
