Going with one of the cards I just got back from PSA. Big fan of the old photos in the modern sets. This one of them Lou Brock stood out to me so had to get it graded.

1969 Topps #428, Lou Brock ⭐
Lou Brock was widely regarded as a player of integrity, fairness, and sportsmanship, both on and off the field.

Teammates, opponents, and historians consistently described Brock as humble, respectful, and dignified, even as he revolutionized the stolen-base game. He played hard but clean, never taunted opponents, and was known for preparation, self-discipline, and respect for the game. Off the field, Brock was admired for grace, generosity, and quiet leadership, later devoting himself to education, business, and community work.

In baseball history, Lou Brock is remembered not just as a transformational athlete, but as a true ambassador of the game.

It’s a Lou Brock two-fer Tuesday flashback edition of #WhatsOnYourDesk.

2006 Topps Triple Threads Relics Auto ⭐ Stan Musial - Ozzie Smith - Lou Brock
Three of the greatest Cardinals of all time and three legendary Hall of Famers.

I love 67 and 62 Venezuelan as the only two from that series where Topps took the time to translate the backs to Spanish. I’ve worked in localization and if I were advising Fanatics offering Chinese language NBA cards would create a whole second universe of parallels and I expect would help them grow the market there much more quickly.
