RIP Hank Aaron 👑 1934-2021. We will never again see his equal. Feel free to share a 🔨 card or memory in his honor. Blessings to his family, friends, and fans.
Willie Mays, RIP. That’s a phrase no one ever wanted to read, much less type. Share a fave card or two if it helps. And here’s an oldie but goodie from

100th birthday to Rachel Robinson, genuine baseball royalty. No baseball cards exist of Rachel, so here is a homemade custom.

birthday to these two baseball legends. Both born in Donora, Pennsylvania, The Man on the left played HS ball with the grandpa of The Kid on the right.
What’s your pick for most underrated card in the Hobby? We’ll start things off with a third year (since RC and 2nd years get all the ❤️) of an underrated legend.
Mystery solved! Some discussion in this very feed at times as to who the other player on the card is. Per Frank himself, it’s John Valentin of Seton Hall. Thanks to
@DanEvans108
for bringing us the scoop!
As the card caption says, it was “groundbreaking” in 1991 to feature players in throwback jerseys, even if the practice is somewhat common today. In honor of
#ThrowbackThursday
post a fave!
Honest recommendation: own as many Frank Robinson cards as you can. Stop what you are doing and get one right now. He is awesome, his cards are awesome. Happy birthday Frank!

birthday to 4x batting champion
@MadlockBill
! He batted .375 (.483 OBP) in the 1979 WS and could do it all...except maybe pitch despite what his 1975 Hostess card says!

@SABRbbcards
to former minor leaguer Jim Buckner who looks so much like his older brother (RIP) you probably thought the first card was just a typo!

birthday to the great Eric Keith Davis, one of baseball’s most electrifying players ever. First full season hit 27 HR with 80 SB. Next season 37 and 50. If not for injuries anything was possible for Eric the Red. 2019
