Horizontal mid 30s ‘rookie card’ Joe DiMaggio
Something about the photo aesthetic of the inset Iron Horse mid swing there reminded me of a DiMaggio card I love - National Chicle fine pen - I’m a sucker for an action shot.
Met and Yankee in same career siting
Looks great …
The art, the color! Mesmerizing. 13? Klein and Grimes my fav to look at ..
🤣 yes, we should all be franker 🤣
Love that cut out
Burdick-Lloyd Wright collaboration
Excellent; Mr Gamble just came in Cubs/Padres handy on a recent Immaculate Grid - doubly excellent!
Hey @spoart.bsky.social , am I recalling the young Cubs shot is from Dell Stamps - photo as a Cub, but appears in the Phillies book? The photography on those Dells was gorgeous
Just love that photo, and those Pittsburgh batting helmets
Gorgeous Blue Moon @spoart.bsky.social … and man, that George Hendrick ?rookie? off to the right …
I think this is an ‘As Told To ..’, and a great read.
Would be wild if the responsible collector would see their own handiwork on a post like this and respond. That ever happened, @spoart.bsky.social ?
Here for that ⚾️ history content!
Man, Willie Davis had a tough game in center ..
I’ve gotta get my cataracts done … 👁️👁️
Ending with a ‘Great One’! I didn’t collect these; colorful/cool. Of course 1969/73 my favorites

One man’s clutter ….
Shouldn’t the miracle, observed by so many, have earned Gil Hodges sainthood? 🤔⛪️
On that last binder page I spy 53 Bowman Color Sid Gordon, I think Joe Ginsburg, Vic Wertz and maybe ?Art Houtemann. The varied subjects of tobacco cares were amazing …

Sanford and sons? Came on right after (or before 🤔) Chico, NBC Thursday nights
Photo of the following quote from Joward Zinn "TO BE HOPEFUL in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness. What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places-and there are so many-where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction. And if we do act, in however small a way, we don't have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory." - Howard Zinn
In case anyone needs this now (full quotation in alt text)
What a group. Love seeing very young Koufax and Drysdale ..
You are most welcome kind sir … the Brooklyn outfield of Furillo in left, The Duke of Flatbush in center and a rookie named Roberto in right
Revisionist history can be beautiful.
Noooice. Came back to the Metsies in 74-75!
Ok I’m going to drop a Bob Miller … point of confusion, I had to go remind myself. There were 2 on the original Mets, a lefty and a righty 👇:
(&if not mistaken there was a third Bob Miller who overlapped these two hurlers in the 50s … w one team only-Phils, teammate of original Met Ashburn)

The @nytimes.com should share this to every local newspaper across the land
Pretty interesting that the 1907 issues and the 1912 issue have same design/artistry. Makes me want to go read that production story. Such great looking cards.
