Card of the Day

I came across a box of my son's old Marvel cards while cleaning out a closet and with Venom: Let there be Carnage recently getting released I thought that these two would make for a cool Card(s) of the Day.

These are from the 1994 Marvel Masterpieces Hildebrandt Brothers Holfoil Silver insert set. There were also Gold & Bronze parallels too.

Guy was a beast for a long time. And the run he had in Milwaukee was the stuff of legend; a borderline Hall of Famer, and I hope he gets in…

Found some more of my son's Marvel stuff recently including this uncut promo sheet from 1994.

The most logical follow up to a Gem Luke should be....Jim Carrey in spandex.

Sabathia is a lock HOFer. 3,000+ career Ks punched his ticket. 19 guys have achieved that, 14 of them are in the HOF, and 2 are still active. That leaves only Clemens (steroid allegations), schilling and CC (not yet eligible) as 3,000 K guys who haven’t been inducted.

My pride and joy...

Gulp!!…I thought this card was a myth…now I know it’s real…The force will be with you…always.

It's technically the first one to get graded PSA 10. There were two that graded 10 in the lot that was submitted years ago. It's brother card is numbered *7840 and just sold for $55k a couple weeks ago. It had a pop of 2 when I acquired it about 16-17 years ago...for $100.

I really love Star Wars and it’s place in both movie and non-sport card collecting history. Thanks for sharing your card image and your story!

One for Friday, one for Saturday and one for Sunday…

…have a great weekend, everyone!

No one really knows if he will even make it to the big leagues but I’m one of the many who believes this kid has what it takes. Still just 19, he’s all potential and no accomplishment but he certainly has the Yankees organization (and their fans) excited. This upcoming season - just his second in the minors - will go a long way toward his development and a better determination of when he might be ready for prime time.

Oddly enough, scans can sometimes dull the beauty of these modern refractors. With some trial and error, the front really “comes alive” in a regular photograph more so than in a scan…

Gehringer had a reputation as quiet and unassuming. Player-manager Mickey Cochrane joked that "Charlie says hello' on Opening Day,goodbye' on closing day, and in between hits .350."

.320 lifetime, 1 MVP, 1 batting title, 1 WS, 5th ballot HOF

Awesome!!!

One of the all time great actors is almost second fiddle on this card; the women swoon over the man and the men swoon over his ride. The elegance of the clear monochrome front combined with colorful back speaks to the duality of the famed secret agent whose covert missions on behalf of the Crown have delighted audiences since Ian Fleming first published the spy thriller Casino Royale seventy years ago.

Here's one that hasn't been posted yet, a Bulls Pocket Schedule from Jordan's rookie season. Orlando Woolridge is actually on the cover but if you open then fold it a certain way BGS will slab it with MJ on the front.

Eric, Love the Bulls schedule!!

Here's another you don't see very often. A poor man's Sports Illustrated test sticker in the 1986 Spanish Super Canasta Michael Jordan Sticker.

Nice! That's the first I've seen in a SGC slab too.
