I’ve been building out my Raiders PC over the last couple months and so far I’ve got about 20 cards I’m not looking to part with any time soon. What I’m realizing is the more obscure or random the player is to the average NFL fan the more I like it. Here are a couple of my favorites of far.

On April 15, 1947, Jackie Robinson broke Baseball's color barrier when he made his historic MLB debut. My favorite ballplayer!

Here are my favorite pieces I own of Jackie.

Lots of posts of late on Type 1 photos. I've started to expand into my other love, music collecting. I love Nat King Cole and got this recently from Heritage's Entertainment Auction. They had some amazing Type 1 photos of Hollywood stars from the past. I love Nat King Cole and his velvety voice. He did a whole album of International versions -- Should check it out if you like old school classic singers.

I loved this photo showing him in studio. Just something about it instantly transports me to the first time I heard him sing Perfidia. (https://open.spotify.com/track/3QQl3tSiEooVLQvC8IT5EE?si=fbff114cfb424ac6)

Been hunting for some time. Finally got it. While not a high grade, its a decent eye appeal card and clean back.

Baseball is back!!! While I'm not a Giants fan, much respect and love for the greats. Say Hey Kid is one of my favorites. This is a photo by William Jacobellis taken in early 50s from the Polo Grounds. Plus a cool card from the 2003 Topps Heritage set in the 1954 Topps design, which was an insert where they had seat relic cards.
But an early Willie Mays photo and this image speaks so many things for me. Joy, excitement, proud, and youth.
