1947-66 Exhibits Orestes Minoso, C on Cap ⭐ MLB Pioneer
The "Cuban Comet" started his professional baseball career in the Negro League with the New York Cubans.
He played for the New York Cubans for three seasons, where he quickly emerged as an All-Star third baseman and helped them win the 1947 Negro League World Series.
I bought this card raw, in 2020 from Greg Morris, advertised as VG with a wrinkle.
I sent it to PSA in January 2026 and it returned home to me in a PSA 5, Excellent holder.
You never know.

2006 Topps Triple Threads Relics, POP ⭐ Willie Stargell, #10/18
It wouldn't be a proper Father's Day celebration without POPS!
I adore this card.

1984 Topps Ralston Purina #28 ⭐ Gary Carter
I love this image of Gary Carter.
I also loved and miss the Expos in Montreal.

1982 Fleer #187, Andre Dawson ⭐️ The Hawk
I loved "The Hawk" most as an Expo.
However, in 1987, he hit 49 HR and had 137 RBI for the Cubs, that finished last in the NL East. He became the first player in MLB history to win an MVP award while playing for a last-place club.

1957 Topps #18 ⭐ Don Drysdale RC
This is Don Drysdale's rookie card.
The 1957 Topps baseball card set is a beloved set in the hobby.
It's simple, straight-forward design is iconic and timeless.
Collecting a very nice looking set can be challenging because of the many off-center/miscuts and the backgrounds are snowy many times.
