You stand them up on the wall then try to knock them over while throwing cards at them.

You throw them like ninja stars to knock the standing cards down.

Stand a bunch of cards in a 35-45 degree angle up against the wall then stand back and lay down on the floor about 10-15 feet away and throw the cards like ninja stars at 180 degrees flat and try to knock the cards stacked up down.
Like skipping rocks on water but your wrist goes the other way instead.

Um I got my ass kicked for throwing ninja stars in the house.
Knockdown? I used to be the king of knockdown! Loved playing it as a kid.
2 minutes into that video is some fun times!
I was pretty good at topsies too. We would go onto my friends roof and pitch cards all day only going down the ladder to clean up once one person managed to land a card on top of the other.
This was back in 77, 78, and 79 before we cared about GEM MINT. Good times!

i just sharpen the edges of my used toploaders and pretend i'm batman.
you try flipping my 86 canseco like that, you'll get a toploader to the neck from outta the shadows.
When I read this I had to laugh. The back of my bedroom door was full of holes from practicing throwing those ninja stars.
gosh I loved that game in grade school especially 5th-6th grade 1980 topps
I had a ton of them I won, they are beat to hell but I still have them
I'm ready to play
collecting RAW Topps baseball cards 1952 Highs to 1972. looking for collector grade (somewhere between psa 4-7 condition). let me know what you have, I'll take it, I want to finish sets, I must have something you can use for trade.
looking for Topps 71-72 hi's-62-53-54-55-59, I have these sets started
The game was "big" in the 50s.
A few years ago, I spent hours combing the net for anyone who had 50s pics of kids playing with cards.
In my world, no one was collecting cards and doing sets; just for a single player like Mantle, Mays or Snider (I'm a NYC boy) and then they were stored in a drawer till mom filed them away....
what card is in the spokes?
Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Andy Hansen, card # 74, is in the spokes!
