1954 Bowman #64, Ed Mathews ⭐ Braves Great
I love this image and card of Eddie Mathews.
He helped lead the Braves to a 1957 World Series title over the mighty and heavily favored NY Yankees.
Eddie Mathews scored the winning run in the 10th inning of Game 7, to seal the 1957 title for Milwaukee and famously fielded the final out of the series at third base.
He is widely regarded as a top 5 all-time MLB third baseman, behind Mike Schmidt, George Brett and Brooks Robinson.

1955 Topps #31, Warren Spahn ⭐ Legendary Lefty
Another card pulled by my Dad as a kid and encased by me in January 2026 - just returned from PSA New Jersey last week - 7 full months.
Warren Spahn is widely regarded as one of the greatest left-handed pitchers in Major League Baseball history, famously anchoring the Braves franchise in both Boston and Milwaukee. Over a legendary 21-season career, he racked up 363 career victories, which stands as the absolute MLB record for the most wins by a left-handed pitcher.

2011 Bowman Platinum Emerald #57 ⭐ Freddie Freeman RC
Freddie Freeman is my favorite non-Bucs position player in MLB today.
I love the way he plays and handles himself.
He's always clutch, just like my favorite player of all-time -- Roberto Clemente.

2024 Leaf Lumber All-Time Draft, #22/25 ⭐ Andruw Jones
Congratulations to Andruw Jones, recently inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
I love this 2024 Leaf All-Time Draft insert set.
Leaf ranks Andruw Jones as the #99th player drafted on their all-time list.

1974 Topps #1, Hank Aaron ⭐ All-Time HR King
This was Topps Card #1 for 1974, in anticipation of Aaron's capturing the MLB All-time HR Crown.👑
This is the exact card I pulled from a pack as a kid and it may have been my biggest thrill and a perfectly fitting post for tonight's HR Derby.
I kept this card in a shoebox from 1974 until a few years ago, when I subbed it to PSA.
I didn't care about the grade then and I don't care now.
I just love this card, that's all.❤
