This is easily my best page of Cubs autos on non-Cubs cards.

Special shout out to that iconic Senior League Tim Stoddard card. Put it in the Louvre.

Okay #CardSky crew. While lists of iconic cards are trending, what are your iconic minor league cards of the 1980s? My article should post soon.

Interesting question regarding the timing of deeming a card โ€œiconic.โ€

Either way you slice it though, a Paul Skenes card does not belong anywhere near the top ten in 2026, even if you are the kind of collector who cares about 1/1 cards or debut patches.

At least Topps has us talking about cards!

Just sitting here wondering how that Skenes contrivance beat out the 1953 Paige.

If you didnโ€™t already know @ckamka.bsky.social is an amazing artist, here is his (original) colored pencil imagining of an 1986 Topps Harry Caray.

How fricking cool is this?

Our next guest at @sabrchicago.bsky.social was Kevin Guilfoile (ex-MLB PR director and son of Hall of Fame VP Bill), who brought an *almost-famous* Roberto Clemente bat from his final week with the Pirates in 1972. Hereโ€™s the amazing story behind it: web.archive.org/web/20190320...
