2025 Leaf Spectacular When it Was a Game ⭐ Eddie Collins #7/15
One of the greatest second basemen in MLB history and a cornerstone of early-20th-century championship baseball.

He finished his career with a .333 career batting average, and was known for his speed, defense, and baseball intelligence.
Modern cards with vintage player relics are OK in my book.

1970 Topps #140, Reggie Jackson ⭐
Let's get this Wednesday off to a great start with a card of one of the original "Swingin' A's"!
Have a great day folks!

2006 Topps Triple Threads Relics ⭐ Rickey Henderson NYY #9/18
I'm not a Yankees fan, per se, but definitely an admirer of Rickey Henderson.
On December 5, 1984, the A's traded Rickey Henderson to the New York Yankees.

1976 Kellogg's Joe Rudi ⭐
On October 15, 1972, at Riverfront Stadium, Joe Rudi made a game-saving catch of Denis Menke’s drive to help the Oakland A’s defeat the Cincinnati Reds in Game 2 of the World Series. Rudi’s leaping grab against the left field wall preserves a 2-1 victory. The ball briefly popped from Rudi’s glove, but he regained possession for the out. Rudi also homered for the A’s.

The win gave the Athletics a 2-0 game advantage as the WS shifted to Oakland.

Happy Wednesday!

1952 Topps #31, Gus Zernial Black Back ⭐
This is a card that fascinated me, even before I understood the historical significance of the 1952 Topps Baseball Card Set; and before I knew why there are 6 baseballs affixed to his bat. You may also notice that the card depicts Gus wearing a pink undershirt.
Gus Zernial was a power-hitting outfielder who led the American League in home runs in 1951. The six baseballs affixed to his bat in the 1952 Topps card was a publicity photo that symbolized his six home runs in three consecutive games during the 1951 season.
