I had fun going through the history of the Savannah Bananas sports cards, and there are both many cards to collect, but also a uniqueness that matches their journey.

Evan Longoria (LONGO) is an all-time Ray in my book. His legacy for all he did for the team made this card a no-brainer, and it’s easily from one of my favorite subsets within sports cards.

Falling in love with baseball in the early 2010s and being a Rays fan, LONGO was THE guy. He seemed untouchable. A no-doubt All-Star year after year.

The ONLY foilfractor in my entire collection, and it’s a good one! This 2020 Topps card is the first flagship release that pictures Yandy in a Rays uniform (which I didn’t realize til making this post).

Yandy has already left a lasting impact on the Rays organization, and he’s been one of the games best first baseman the last handful of seasons. I purchased this card before that legacy was being built, years ago, for a criminally good price.

Each slide represents a different deal I made at the Shipshewana Card Fest. I was pleasantly surprised at the variety on the show floor. 🙂
