Here's the original 5'' x 7'' pen and ink artwork used for Gene Mauch's 1969 Topps card.

Here's another historically significant Topps contract, signed by Tom Seaver on March 8, 1969 - the spring of the year the Amazin' Mets would win the World Series!

There are folks willing to pay >20 #BTC for this.

In 2005, Sotheby's offered a collection of some of the scarcest Pacific Coast League cards in their Important Sports Memorabilia and Cards auction. The lot included 136 cards, plus a few original mailing envelopes, of the four Centennial Flour's Seattle Rainiers sets issued between 1943 and 1947.

When you find random card collages in your archives…why did I make this? #sports #sportscards

GM #Nostr The blog’s hobby tidbit of the day is about 1964 Philadelphia Football cello boxes:

1964 Philadelphia Football Cello Box – Post War Cards

Sotheby’s auctioned this one off in 1993. The image looks pretty great with the packs all laid out in B&W. However, given Baseball Card Exchange’s wrapping/authentication, it's unlikely #TheHobby will see a box displayed like this again! #Football #FootballCards #Collect #NFL

I need to figure out an intelligent #Nostr integration with what I've historically done with blogging on postwarcards.com. There seem to be options like Highlighter and Habla News. What are the current trends in Nostr "blogging"? #AskNostr #Blogging @⚡️ᗪㄖ匚⚡️ @Derek Ross

Good Night #Nostr Happy Collecting :)

Free Software! (Sort of...) I love how many collection manager tools there were in the early '90s! Hobby and technology nostalgia! #Software #SportsCards #Nostalgia

Thinking about the best ways to pivot how I contribute to the sports card hobby given what #Nostr and #Bitcoin are and can be 🤔
