When Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig appear in the same ad, you know it's a legendary piece of baseball memorabilia.

Yesterday, I shared an ad from The Baseball Card Kid, with whom most collectors on the leading unopened FB group had fond memories. This ad from Prince of Cards didn't precisely elicit identical memories.

Today, the Baseball Card Exchange is the big player in the unopened space, but in the early '90s, it was Mark Murphy, The Baseball Card "Kid." Here's an ad he placed in the December 1993 issue of Sports Cards Magazine.

I ran across a rare item in Ron Oser Enterprises' April 2001 catalog described as a 1966 Exhibit card uncut sheet from the last year that exhibit cards were issued. But I don't know that the description was accurate! More on the blog:

I've previously shared the original artwork for the 1953 Topps Willie Mays and Whitey Ford cards that Guernsey's sold in its famous 1989 Topps Auction. But other examples have also tricked out over the years, including this one of Ken Heintzelman.

I ran across this window sign advertising the circa 1937 R342 Goudy Thum-Movies in Sotheby's March 1991 auction catalog, which included The Copeland Collection; it's a cool-looking sign in black and white, but it's actually red, white, and blue.

Here's one you don't see every day, especially in triplicate: a 1984 Topps Football Cut Card Case! One of each sheet (“A”, “B”, and “C”).

Reggie Jackson is known as a first-ballot Hall of Famer, but did you know he also had a passion for classic cars? In the early 80s, Argus Publishing released a unique set of three cards featuring Jackson alongside some of the vehicles from his personal collection.

Here's the original artwork Dick Perez painted for the 1984 Donruss Mike Schmidt Diamond Kings card.

What's super cool about the 1955 Topps Doubleheaders uncut panels is how clearly they show the continuous artwork designed into the backgrounds on the cards!
