Add this to a “rarely-seen” product/insert. The all-time best gives you refractor-like holofoil with cards numbered to their career best (at the time of printing, Pujols’ career best was 37 home runs in a season). Super cool. Not quite a “ghost” but seldom seen.

For those young ‘uns, look at Stan Musial’s stats and career highlights. I’ll wait….yes, he was THAT good. One of the all-time baseball greats. Possibly in the top 10 of all time. But he’s largely ignored as compared to some of the bigger stars of the day. Love these sweet spot autographs. Like having a signed baseball collection but more easily consumed in card form. And still relatively cheap!

This is one of my favorite baseball cards of one of my favorite all-time baseball players, Cardinals Hall of Famer, Albert Pujols. I’m so glad he finished his career in St. Louis and the way he ended, reaching 700 home runs was epic. Thankful to have the chance to one one of his best cards - a game worn logoman with great presentation. Well done, Upper Deck!

Ozzie Smith, Tommy Herr, Terry Pendleton, and Jack Clark. This is the team I grew up with. Moving to St. Louis in my teens, they had an amazing team (they lost 4-3 in the World Series to the Twins). People forget how good they were. Ozzie as a HOF shortstop and Terry Pendleton ended up being an NL MVP when he played for the Braves. Vince Coleman (NL ROY), Willie McGee (also an NL MVP), Tony Peña, Jose Oquindo were also part of that squad. The Runnin’ Redbirds. This is a cool quad-signed picture from that year!
