New @sabrbbcards.bsky.social article on one of the new members of the Pittsburgh Pirates Hall of Fame.

Pulled out the acrylics for my daughter and she had a bunch of paint left over so I made a Satch portrait. #acrylicpainting #portrait #SatchelPaige #liquitex

Al Oliver Was All Business “There’s no such thing as bragging. You’re either lying, or telling the truth.” – Al Oliver It occurred to me the other day that every baseball card I’d ever see…

Scoop, there it is! Head to the SABR Baseball Cards blog for a look back at Al Oliver’s evolving cardboard countenances.

Ty Cobb

George Sisler

100 years ago today, these Hall of Fame greats square off…on the mound! In an 8-inning season finale called for darkness, the aces combine for three scoreless innings. The game also resulted in Cobb’s only career save (retroactively), however sketchy.

Any takers? 🔍

1981 Fleer

Did we just hear that Gary Weiss is being put in charge of CBS News? Crazy!

If you're in Chicago, the National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts and Culture has a new exhibit on baseball! Called Pleibol!, it's a traveling exhibit from the Smithsonian. Free to visit!

Honestly, if I had to pick just one set to spend the rest of my hobby life on, writing about it, researching it, collecting it, just staring at it, it’d be 1952 Topps. Nothing else comes close.

1951 Bowman

#OTD in 1951 Bobby Thomson deprives Giants fans of the chance to see the great Willie Mays come to bat.

2025 Topps Now

He Cam. He saw. He conquered.

2023 Bowman

1961 Nu-Cards

If the Sox get an Early win and crush the Yanks, maybe it was in the cards? #CardSky

“Hi, I’m Barry Foote. But please, call me Barry.”

Speaking of George Sisler, Jr., he also appears on the most needless nickname card of all time. “Hi, I’m Barry. But please, just call me Barry.”

George Sisler Jr and Russell Earl Dent

🚨 TRIGGER WARNING ‼️

#OTD in 1978 Bucky Dent broke a lot of hearts in Beantown. His attempt at reconciliation a decade later (sharing a baseball card with the son of Boston Braves legend George Sisler) largely fell flat on all but @seank138.bsky.social.

I’ve been blessed many times over. Thank you.

I’ve only written one article for the @sabrbbcards.bsky.social Blog, but it was about Ángel Scull’s 1954 Topps card and how I got back into collecting. sabrbaseballcards.blog/2024/11/11/a...

1949 Leaf Jim Hegan

Happy @sabrbbcards.bsky.social birthday 🎂 to #CardSky legend @spoart.bsky.social. What he loses in time, may Hegan many times over in wisdom and cardboard.

There is a #cardsky for that game

Greatest one-third of a baseball card ever!

Korean Players Who Experienced the “Third Baseball League” by Jongho Kim Many Korean baseball players have challenged overseas leagues from the past to the present. Public attention has mostly focused on those who entered American or Japanese baseball. How…
