1962 Topps #486, Jim Gilliam ⭐ MLB Pioneer
Have a Happy Tuesday friends and card folk!
I'm not a huge fan of Topps' 1962 design, but I love this card.
IMO, Jim Gilliam, #19, deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.
Gilliam played in the Negro Leagues for the Baltimore Elite (pronounced "E-light") Giants from 1948 to 1950, before his phenomenal Dodger career.
Gilliam was a clutch performer who had a magnificent career and was either a player or coach, on ten Dodger pennant winners (seven as a player), and four World Series championships.
Gilliam was also highly regarded throughout the major leagues for his many outstanding personal qualities, including integrity, temperament, and sportsmanship. Junior Gilliam is the only Dodger non-HOF player to have his number retired.

2025 Leaf Seasons In The Sun Cut Signatures, Pee Wee Reese ⭐
The Boys of Summer 'spiritual leader'.
Pee Wee Reese was a Dodger for 16 seasons, from 1940 to 1958, but missed three seasons (1943-1945) for military service.
During the 1950's he was the team's captain and shortstop, showing the world that the measure of a man is not determined by the color of his skin.

1964 Topps Giants #3, Sandy Koufax SP ⭐
This is one awesome card of Dodgers legend, Sandy Koufax. It's a short print and a beautiful photograph of "The Left Arm of God".
The 1964 Topps Giants set is one of the most affordable and underrated in the hobby.
I'm guessing because they are oversized cards.
Only 60 cards in the set (3 from each team in 1964) with 22 HOFers. That's over one-third of the set.

2006 Topps Triple Threads Relics Autograph ⭐ Steve Garvey MVP #11/18
This is a card I love.
Growing up, Steve Garvey was my favorite Los Angeles Dodger and non-Pirate player.
Every time the Dodgers came to play the Bucs at Three Rivers Stadium, I would annoy the crap out of my Dad to take me to see him play.
One time, I even talked my Dad into driving to the Pittsburgh Airport to see the Dodgers airplane - that was cool.😎

1955 Topps #123, Sandy Koufax RC ⭐ The Left Arm of God
