My vintage card of the week: The T206 Cy Young “Glove Shows.” Pitching has always been my favorite part of the game. And, thanks to the award named after him, there is probably no other pitcher in the game’s history whose name is more synonymous with greatness on the mound. There are three varieties of T206 Young cards, but this one has always been my favorite.

My first Diamond Stars cards!

I picked these up at a show a few months back and dropped them off with KSA to get graded. Love the colorful artwork and will definitely be looking to get some more.

My vintage card of the week: The 1953 Topps Satchel Paige. This is the legend’s only Topps card. It’s also my most recent acquisition. I’d been keeping an eye out for one for quite a while, and the right one finally came along. Really happy to have it in the collection.

Fun pick up from behind the Diamond Show in Babylon NY yesterday!

My vintage card of the week: The 1965 Topps Steve Carlton rookie card. Carlton is one of the GOATs, but is somehow undervalued by the hobby. 329 wins. 4,136 strikeouts (4th all time). 4 Cy Young awards (first ever to win 4). 10X All Star. Two World Series wins. Easily among the top 5 left-handed pitchers of all time, no question. And the bonus on this card: Fritz Ackley with the no-doubter HOF eyebrow.
