Lumber relic card. One of my favorites.

1949 Bowman #84, Roy Campanella RC ⭐ MLB Pioneer
Roy began playing baseball professionally in the Negro League.
His skill, perseverance, and determination were rewarded with a contract with the Dodgers where he excelled until his career was tragically cut short due to a paralyzing car accident.
Roy Campanella was a cornerstone of baseball’s integration era, proving that excellence, leadership, and intelligence behind the plate transcended race as he became a three-time MVP with the Brooklyn Dodgers. His impact helped legitimize integrated Major League Baseball and set a standard of respect, professionalism, and greatness that reshaped the game.

1953 Topps #27, Roy Campanella 🙂 'Smiling Campy'
This 1953 Topps baseball card of Roy Campanella is famously known as 'Smiling Campy'.
Let the smile from Roy Campanella’s 1953 Topps card brighten your Monday—‘Smiling Campy’ never misses.
Have a great day friends and card folk!👊

This and the 51 Bowman are Campy’s best-looking cards, imho. I like to think he’s focused on the mound here, all business, while some disgruntled vendor tosses a package of hot dogs at him (an away game in Philly, probably)…

Be kind to one another.
