1966 Topps NL Batting Leaders #214⭐Roberto Clemente - Hank Aaron - Willie Mays
Three of the best players I watched play during my childhood, all on one card.
No wonder it's one of my favorites.

I’m loving my top loader binder! Moved these beauties over tonight. I think the cards look sharp! Some all-time greats and some of my favorites on these pages!

2002 Fleer Rival Factions Larry Doby Game Used Bat feat. Jackie Robinson⭐
What could be better than a Jackie Robinson mail day on Jackie's birthday...Nothing!
This is awesome! Too bad Fleer went out of business b/c they made some fine cards.
This one features the first African-American to break the color barrier in the A.L. & N.L., Larry Doby & Jackie Robinson, respectively.
It has a game-used bat relic from Larry Doby, who was my Dad's favorite player.

1957 Topps Rookie Cards (select) ⭐
I adore the 1957 Topps baseball card design.
I don't like the frequent off-centering and snowy background aspects, but when you get examples that overcome those shortcomings they are beautiful.
Here are some of my favorite RCs from that set.
The four on top are legendary Hall of Famers.
The four on bottom are color barrier trailblazers and one MLB Pioneer.
Have a great day!

MLB Pioneers ⭐ All these gents played in the Negro League and also made it to The Show.
The roughly 100 or so players who starred in the Negro Leagues and later reached Major League Baseball represent one of the most extraordinary—and poignant—groups in American sports history.
Many were already great before MLB opened its doors to black men. Stars like Jackie Robinson, Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Roy Campanella, Monte Irvin, Minnie Miñoso, Larry Doby, and Satchel Paige proved immediately that Negro League competition was and had been first-rate. Their success exposed the myth that segregation reflected talent differences.
Many more were never given a meaningful opportunity to succeed in MLB because they were past their prime.
