'52 Topps Rookies: A Solution

Okay, the trading has been slow of late, and I've been distracted by holiday revelry anyway. But when I started this blog, I promised to share my thoughts and remembrances on the hobby during periods of downtime. So consider this the first in an indeterminate series!

Although I don't buy them very often, I'd have to say that I'm a sucker for "vintage" card designs. If I had been serious about collecting over the past five or six years, I'm sure I would have pumped some hard-earned money into Topps Heritage, and maybe even Bowman Heritage. This year's Allen and Ginter and Goudey series have caught my eye, though they're too rich for my blood. But I'd have to agree with my esteemed colleague that this year's '52 Topps Rookies cards are an exercise in laziness. While Dayf (among others) has suggested simply bumping up this year's design to mirror 1953 Topps and following the sequencing of Topps Heritage, I've got another idea.

Let's be fair. I love some of the 1950's Topps designs as much as the next guy (especially the aforementioned 1953). But haven't we seen enough of them for a while? For that matter, hasn't an entire vintage set based on one year's style been done to death? Well, maybe it has, you say. But what the hell are they supposed to do, Kevin? I'll tell you what...

Produce each rookie's card in the design from his year of birth.

Think about it. While card designs from the 80's may not seem "vintage", they still strike a nostalgic chord with many of today's collectors (yours truly certainly included). They haven't been seen for 20-25 years, and even if you assume that Topps is keeping up its Heritage line in sequential order on into infinity, they wouldn't be seen for another 20-25 years. It would be the best of both worlds - something old, but in a mostly new format. And as a neat twist, you'd always know how old a certain player was with a single glance at his card.

Take this year's checklist for example. You'd have a 1982 Michael Bourn, a 1983 Jacoby Ellsbury, a 1984 Troy Tulowitzki, a 1985 Joba Chamberlain, a 1986 Homer Bailey, a 1987 Justin Upton, and a 1988 Phillip Hughes. With Japanese imports, there's even a few oddball older designs, like a 1975 Hideki Okajima, 1979 Akinori Iwamura and a prized 1980 Daisuke Matsuzaka. Then there are journeyman rookies like Jon Knott (1978) and Josh Hamilton (1981). Now THAT'S variety. Sure, this also means we're right on the cusp of the hideous 1990 Topps design, but you might as well admit that you've missed those bright and fuzzy squares and dots.

If, after all of this, Topps still felt the need to throw in those Debut Flashbacks, you've got even more styles to look at. Try on a 1976 Vlad Guerrero or a 1971 Pedro Martinez.

So that's my best stab at telling Topps what to do. If they're looking to hire, I wouldn't say no. ;-)

By the way, if anyone is more graphically talented than I am (chances are pretty good that you are; refer to my banner design if you doubt it) and wants to email me some designs based on this idea, I will of course post it and give you full credit. A 1983 Nick Markakis or 1984 Adam Loewen would be sweet.

We've got a few oddball sets here, and a bunch of 1995 Stadium Club. Those have beautiful photography and you owe it to yourself to pick up a few, if you've got something to offer in return.

Okay, this should clear out all of my remaining pre-1990 Topps duplicates - except for 1989. I have a ton of 1989 Topps, but I'm putting that list off for as long as I can manage it. For some reason, many of the 1986 Topps are off-center, some of them comically so. If you ask me, it just adds to the charm. This is an interesting assortment, and it's *used car salesman voice* ALL GOTTA GOOOOOO!

Okay, I promise not to do that again.

Trade #1: Spahn, Irvin, and Chipper Jones for AL ERA Leaders, McCool, and Cline

As promised, here's my first trade, and it's a 3-for-3 blockbuster! This trade comes to us from Dave, the pride of Acworth, Georgia. You may know him better as dayf, the Cardboard Junkie. If for some reason you've never checked out his blog, do it now! He might be the most prolific card blogger out there, and he's one of the most entertaining as well. Enough cheap shilling; let's get to the trade!

Giving: 1993 Ted Williams #48 Warren Spahn, #136 Monte Irvin Barrier Breakers; 1998 Upper Deck Collector's Choice #306 Chipper Jones

Getting: 1965 Topps #7 Dean Chance and Joel Horlen - 1964 American League ERA Leaders, #18 Bill McCool All-Star Rookie, #63 Ty Cline
We've got some good stuff coming and going here. When I was in the early years of my card obsession, I bought some packs of Ted Williams. For those who don't know, the Splendid Splinter lent his name and likeness to a brand of baseball cards that lasted two whole years. It was a neat idea, though; not many companies were putting out cards of retired players at the time. They also came with Pogs, so I've got some obsolete milkcaps with throwback Kansas City Athletics and Cleveland Indians logos on them, and that ain't bad.Dave just couldn't turn down an old Brave in Spahn, who might be the greatest lefty pitcher of all time. He also gets another Hall-of-Famer in Monte Irvin, who very easily could have been the first black player in the major leagues. To close the deal, we have Chipper Jones, who is still climbing the ladder of Atlanta greats. Last year Larry Wayne had an amazing season, his best since he turned thirty. The back of his 1998 UDCC card indicates that he was the runner-up to Hideo Nomo in the 1995 NL Rookie of the Year voting. Hindsight is 20/20 and all that.Check out the sweet "LA" insignia on Dean Chance's hat, back in the days when the Angels actually played in Los Angeles instead of just pretending they did. A quick check of the card back shows that he led the league with an absurd 1.65 ERA. Chance was originally signed by my Orioles in 1959, but they let him get away in the 1960 expansion draft. As it was, the O's had three pitchers with sub-3.00 ERAs in 1964: rookie Wally Bunker, Milt Pappas, and future Hall of Famer Robin Roberts. With Chance in that rotation, maybe they would have caught the Yankees; instead they finished two games back. Ah, what could have been.Bill McCool is aptly named; he's looking back at you with a steely calm gaze that says, "I am a bad MFer. I have a massive rookie trophy, not that dinky little round cup that today's 'All-Star Rookies" get. Oh yeah, and I know Frank Robinson." Bill has a point - not about the Frank thing, although if I were him, I'd be name dropping like crazy. I'm talking about that rookie trophy...it's a masterpiece in its own right. They don't make 'em like that any more.Dave also parts with one of his hometown Braves, young Ty Cline. This is my first Milwaukee Braves card, which is pretty cool. (The oldest Braves card I had previously was a thoroughly Wilkerized 1971 Topps Orlando Cepeda that I plucked from a dollar bin at one of my favorite shops over the summer.) Interestingly enough, Ty joined the Cubs via the Rule 5 draft in November 1965, just before the Braves debuted in Atlanta. In July 1966, however, the Braves bought him back from Chicago. Of course, changing cities wasn't a rare thing for Ty; he played for six different teams in seven cities in his twelve-year career.

But wait, there's more! In a completely awesome and unexpected move, Dave threw in an assortment of about 30 Orioles cards and stickers, ranging from a 1973 Topps Paul Blair to a 2004 Bowman Miguel Tejada. I have to make special mention of the two 1994 Leaf cards he included. Each card in that set featured a photo of the player's home stadium on the back. I got the Mike Devereaux card, which has a great shot of right field in Camden Yards with the B & O Warehouse looming behind it. The second card, Lee Smith, shows the right-center field scoreboard close up. I can read just enough of the text on the Diamond Vision screen to see that it's promoting the Orioles' annual winter cruise. In early 1995, some lucky fans were apparently going to have the chance to sail the seas with utility outfielder Jack Voigt, legendary manager Earl Weaver, longtime player and coach Elrod Hendricks, and rotund play-by-play man Jon Miller. Now there's a detail you don't get on every card. So kudos to you, Dave!

Want to read more of my ramblings on cards? Let's make a trade!

Available for Trade: Upper Deck (1989, 1990, 1992, 1993)

That's right, I've got a bunch of cards from the early years of the company that ruined card collecting as we knew it! They can be yours, if you're so inclined.

Yep, it's another dearly-departed baseball card brand. I really loved the 1994 design, for what it's worth. That's another half-finished set that I'll have to put on the to-do list. Anyone interested in claiming any of these fine cards? You know you are.
