Anyone know of an earlier baseball card showing prescription glasses than 1922 American Caramel Specs Toporcer? @imaginarysports.bsky.social

Thanks to our members for their 2026 SABR Jefferson Burdick Award nominations. Reflecting the breadth of the award, this year's nominees include card bloggers, researchers, creators, community organizers, industry vets, and even a website. Stay tuned as we prepare to select and announce a winner.

Your Cards of the Day: Topps had issues with Lou Berberet in 1958. First, his photo was used on Milt Boling's card. Then, Lou still had a Senators' cap on his card with the Red Sox. The erroneous Bolling photo and Lou's 1957 snapshot were taken in close sequence. @sabrbbcards.bsky.social

Not yet, or at least not for us. Would love to see it!

These are my best airbrush cards. What are yours?

The last day to celebrate Black History Month. Make it a good one.

It was fun to dig into this hairy situation.

Not a card but a poster I had on my wall as a child.

Good morning! Three colors of 1958 Topps on Page 16, and the opposite ratio of portraits to posed shots as page 15. Billy Martin sighting.

I love these, but if I were a collector in 1958, would I have complained that these were an unoriginal (and smaller!) rehash of 1954? Probably!

Your Cards of the Day: Seattle Pilots opening day center fielder Jim Gosger received a card on the Giants with a photo taken in spring training 1970. However, Jim was sold to the Expos and never played in SF. He did maintain the same pose throughout the transaction. @sabrbbcards.bsky.social

I'm facilitating tonight's talk with Anson and look forward to some deep cuts from his amazing prewar collection and perspective.
