Errer Cards: Misc.


2018 Topps Throwback Thursday (TBT) card #006. The people of Arizona must be shaking their heads.

The following is a 1988 reprint of 1909 T206 Piedmont Sherry Magee error card.


See below for the current price for an original Magee error card in fair condition... Wow! According to the PSA website, "this is one of the three big rarities in the T206 baseball set along with the Honus Wagner and Eddie Plank cards. It is also, perhaps, the most famous error card in the entire hobby. Sherry Magee was an excellent major leaguer, finishing his 16-year career with a .291 batting average and 1,176 RBI during the Dead Ball Era. In fact, he led the NL in RBI on four separate occasions and finished among the league leaders in home runs several times, but his solid performance is not what makes this card so desirable. Magee’s name was initially spelled incorrectly as “Magie” and then quickly corrected, with the corrected version printed in much higher abundance than the coveted error."


The next card is Tony Oliva's 1973 Topps card #80. The people of Minnesota must also be shaking their heads.


2007 Topps Derek Jeter card #40. Topps people must have been giddy releasing this card with cameo appearances of George W. Bush and Mickey Mantle.


2008 Topps Boston Red Sox card #234. Once again, Topps people must have been giddy releasing this card with a cameo appearance of former NYC mayor Rudy Giuliani.
1989 Fleer Billy Ripkin card #616. The infamous FF card is on the left. The whiteout one in the center is an art card because it's the one most difficult (i.e., expensive) to obtain and I'm not about to spend more than a few bucks on that. The one on the right is the common black out card. There are many other variations, but none to me worth pursuing.


That's it for today. I hope all is well.

Regards,

    The 2007 Topps Jeter is a personal fave. I remember all of the hype surrounding that card. and of course the 2008 Topps Red Sox and famous Billy Ripken error.

Ballplayers Turned Announcers, Actors, Writers, Etc.

Welcome to my first post!

Original, well-loved, cards from my youth. Rose: "I'd walk through hell in a gasoline suit to play baseball." My Story: I started collecting sports cards back in 1970 when I was about 9-yrs old. If I recall correctly, the first packs I opened in 70 and 71 contained a card of Pete Rose. Rose became my favorite player because of his hustle and desire to win, and he was one of the main cogs of the Cincinnati Reds Big Red Machine, my favorite team. (I still consider Rose to be one of the best players ever, but I have no respect for what he has done outside of the white lines) I collected a lot of cards up until mid 1975 which is when my interests changed, but I never got rid of those cards (nor were they thrown away by mom or dad, thankfully). I got back into collecting, on and off, from the mid 80's up to this day, but only baseball cards. Over the years, I realized I had a fairly decent collection of player cards from those days and started to organize my co

4 Home Run Games

A player hitting four home runs in one game has only been achieved 18 times in MLB history. No one has done it twice. In this collection, I try to obtain cards that acknowledge this rare feat with preferably some notation on the front of the card, but if I can't find that I look for some acknowledgement on the back of the card. 1. On Memorial Day May 30, 1894 Bobby Lowe became the first MLB player to hit 4 HRs in one game when his Boston Beaneaters beat the Cincinnati Reds 20 - 11. The HRs were hit consecutively. Although this card pictures Bobby Lowe with Milwaukee of the Western Association, he made it to the majors in 1890 and spent 18 years in the majors. His best season was 1894 when he had 212 hits, 17 HRs, 115 RBIs and a .346 BA. Bobby Lowe Old Judge Reprint. 2. On July 13, 1896 Ed Delahanty became the 2nd player to hit 4 HRS in one game, 2 of which were inside-the-park. Despite this feat, his Philadelphia Phillies lost to the Chicago Colts 9 - 8. Delahanty hit over
