@delspacefranco @Topps @SABRbbcards @CardboardHistry @PostWarCards @VintageCardsOn1 Never read a definitive explanation. I figured someone would refer to a past @SABRbbcards blog post on the topic. — PolitiTweet.org

@DavidWilner4 @Topps @SABRbbcards @CardboardHistry @PostWarCards @VintageCardsOn1 @delspacefranco Nice Mantle! Mine has a little more mileage. https://t.co/NKzeenSN6M — PolitiTweet.org

@detroit1051 @tigers Bunning one of first pitchers to win 100 games in both AL and NL. — PolitiTweet.org

Among the very few 1957 cards that weren’t shot in Polo Grounds, Ebbets Field or Yankee Stadium. https://t.co/RJfTfbApZA — PolitiTweet.org

George Bennett @gbennettpost

The @Yankees have one of the most distinctive unis in all sports, but @Topps invented a fictitious version for Bobby Shantz (#272) after he was traded from A’s. Tried similar trick with Graig Nettles in 1973. @UniWatch @uniformcritic https://t.co/BYyNpvGtUy — PolitiTweet.org

Brooks & some other key 4th series rookies. Mine have varying degrees of condition issues. https://t.co/BX31ZxVOoI — PolitiTweet.org

Some really cool Brooklyn Dodger photos in the 4th series. https://t.co/KBPBLITcMa — PolitiTweet.org

Koufax & Brooks Robinson’s rookie card among the keys in this series. https://t.co/0xyzgcllP8 — PolitiTweet.org

Carpet o’ Cards: The tough 4th series (# 265-352) of the 1957 @Topps set has bedeviled set builders for more than six decades. @SABRbbcards @CardboardHistry @PostWarCards @VintageCardsOn1 @delspacefranco https://t.co/3Fxkj1RtKc — PolitiTweet.org

@StanleyBecker10 @VintageCardsOn1 And using only one hand! Kind of edgy for the 1950s. — PolitiTweet.org

George Bennett @gbennettpost

Piniella never appeared in a game for the Senators or Pilots despite being featured on their cards. Had one AB with @Orioles in '64 but somehow didn't appear on an O's rookie card. — PolitiTweet.org

George Bennett @gbennettpost

Happy 77th birthday to Lou Piniella, who eventually made good on all that 1960s rookie star hype. @SABRbbcards @PostWarCards @CardboardHistry https://t.co/0H8plDJ5GE — PolitiTweet.org

@JeffLoncke @TimJenkins1962 @SABRbbcards @nightowlcards @CardsFromAttic @CardboardHistry @PostWarCards @delspacefranco @Markhoyle4 Maybe @Jim22Palmer could shed some light. First overall pick in that draft was in fact a tall @Orioles RHP -- Roger Nelson, by @Royals. Nelson went 18-22 in four seasons w KC while Palmer was 77-33 in same span. — PolitiTweet.org

@MichaelTowery @SABRbbcards @nightowlcards @CardsFromAttic @PostWarCards @CardboardHistry Saw all of them come through Memorial Stadium in Baltimore as a Maryland lad of the ‘70s. Veteran, limited-mobility guys like Cepeda, Oliva, Carty & Tommy Davis with the O’s were the quintessential early DHs. — PolitiTweet.org

George Bennett @gbennettpost

@1970Topps @SABRbbcards @nightowlcards @CardsFromAttic @PostWarCards @CardboardHistry Yes! Blomberg famous as first DH to come to bat. These are the other 1973 opening day DHs. Mike Andrews kind of a head-scratcher for Chisox. — PolitiTweet.org

The first 16 cards (Mincher thru Ferraro) are in the order they were picked in the 1968 expansion draft. Piniella traded to KC a week before '69 season began for John Gelnar & Steve Whitaker. — PolitiTweet.org

George Bennett @gbennettpost

@TimJenkins1962 @KathouseSticks @SABRbbcards @nightowlcards @CardsFromAttic @CardboardHistry @PostWarCards @delspacefranco @Markhoyle4 I think Schultz appears twice on the ‘68 set. https://t.co/ZPOUjP9eux — PolitiTweet.org

@Mr_Bandman @TimJenkins1962 @SABRbbcards @nightowlcards @CardsFromAttic @CardboardHistry @PostWarCards @delspacefranco @Markhoyle4 I love stories like that. "Common" card takes on special significance. — PolitiTweet.org

@CardsCigarbox @Topps @SABRbbcards @CardboardHistry @CardsFromAttic @PostWarCards @DavidWilner4 @Markhoyle4 @nightowlcards @delspacefranco @wthballs Fortunately, I’m taking requests throughout the pandemic. The ‘59 and ‘60 backs are the best. https://t.co/I1VztQtHz5 — PolitiTweet.org

First @Topps card of Stan the Man. https://t.co/zzQfIGRuH3 — PolitiTweet.org

Of course Mantle, Mays & @HenryLouisAaron appeared 5 years in a row. Luis Aparicio the only other. https://t.co/CPHisRGASy — PolitiTweet.org

Today’s Carpet o’ Cards: @Topps’ 1958-62 Sporting News All-Star subsets. Those 1960 horizontals really pop. @SABRbbcards @CardboardHistry @CardsFromAttic @PostWarCards @DavidWilner4 @Markhoyle4 @nightowlcards @delspacefranco @wthballs https://t.co/4oFdN2KyBn — PolitiTweet.org

@vossbrink @wthballs @MarkArmour04 Love the hunt for the high numbers. — PolitiTweet.org

George Bennett @gbennettpost

@MarkArmour04 Congratulations! A colorful, under-appreciated set. I completed it except for Rose. Just can't bring myself to spend on that card and settled for one of the many reprints out there. Looks like you got a nice version. — PolitiTweet.org
