⚾️ The 1975 Topps Baseball set is a true gem of the '70s! 🌟 With its vibrant design and star-studded lineup, it's a nostalgic nod to the era. View 1975 Topps Baseball Card sets: https://loom.ly/pJ4pa_M This set captures the changing of the guard in baseball, with legends like Frank Robinson, Bob Gibson, and Al Kaline making their final appearances, while several future Hall of Famers make their rookie debuts. 83 of the 660 cards (1 in every 8) features a Hall of Famer 🔥 🙌 Don’t miss the unique 25th Topps Anniversary subset featuring the Topps cards of each MVP going back to 1952 🏆 Key Rookie Cards: No. 223 Robin Yount (Brewers) No. 228 George Brett (Royals) No. 616 Jim Rice (Red Sox) No. 620 Gary Carter (Expos) No, 622 Fred Lynn (Red Sox) No. 23 Keith Hernandez (Cardinals)

💥 1912 T207 Brown Backgrounds 💥 Shop for T207 Brown Backgrounds: https://loom.ly/LrFJ4po T207 is the final iteration in the American Tobacco Company’s famous trio of baseball card releases: T206 (1909-1911), T205 (1911), T207 (1912). Lacking key stars like Ty Cobb and Cristy Mathewson, and not as colorful as its predecessors, cards from this set are generally more affordable than cards from T206 and T205. T207 includes 207 cards including 13 hall of famers like Walter Johnson, Tris Speaker, Bill McKechnie, Harry Hooper and Zach Wheat. The set also includes famous participants of the 1919 Chicago Black Sox scandal like Eddie Cicotte and Buck Weaver. While some consider the T207 set ugly compared to the colorful T206 and T205 sets, these detailed portraits show the great ballplayers of the day more clearly than other cards of the era. Admittedly, this set isn’t as captivating as its predecessors, but many view the T207 cards are art pieces. Like T205, the card backs contain player descriptions with smaller tobacco brand ads. Cards bearing Broadleaf, Cycle and anonymous (no brand) advertising backs are also the most difficult to find. The most rare cards are Irving Lewis, Lewis Lowdermilk, Ward Miller, Vic Saier and Lefty Tyler.

💥 1911 T205 Gold Borders 💥 Shop for T205 Gold Borders: https://loom.ly/nIedCvw T205 consists of 209 cards featuring 198 different players. 27 hall of fame players are in the set including Ty Cobb, Walter Johnson, Tris Speaker, Christy Matthewson, Cy Young, and John McGraw. Like T206, these cards were included as the backing in packs of tobacco products. The American Tobacco Company started producing the T205 set after they stopped printing T206 cards in 1911. The American Card Catalog assigned the Gold Borders set (T205) a lower number than the White Borders (T206) set since “gold” comes before “white” in the alphabet. The set replaced the colorized, photo-based images from T206 with illustrations, and is notable for the artwork in the borders featuring team logos and various baseball equipment. While mostly depicting portraits instead of action shots, the set is just as colorful and fun as T206. T205 was also one of the first sets to include player descriptions on the back of the cards. Some cards even show yearly statistics, the first widespread inclusion of stats on the back of baseball cards. While the backs of T206 cards are dominated by large tobacco logos, the logos on T205 backs are smaller and rest below the player descriptions.

💥 1909-1911 T206 White Borders 💥 Shop for T206 White Borders: https://loom.ly/LCu76Rw T206 is the most famous tobacco card set due to the incredibly rare Honus Wagner card. In 2022, a T206 Honus Wagner sold for $7.25 million (graded SGC 2), making it the most expensive card ever sold. The most expensive cards in the set are referred to as “The Big Four”: ⚾ Honus Wagner ⚾ Joe Doyle (N.Y. Nat'l) Error Variation ⚾ Eddie Plank ⚾ Sherry Magee (Magie) Error Variation This iconic set includes 524 cards produced from 1909 to 1911 by the American Tobacco Company. Cards were included as the backing for packs of tobacco products, which explains their smaller size. The backs of the cards feature 16 different tobacco brand logos. Card values are impacted by the rarity of the tobacco brand with Piedmont, Sweet Caporal, Old Mill and Sovereign being the most common. T206’s beautiful illustrations contain 390 cards depicting major league players and another 134 with minor league players added in later releases to attract baseball fans outside the major American cities. 38 different hall of famers are depicted with most shown in 2-3 different variations. Ty Cobb is featured on 4 different cards (Portrait-red background, Portrait-green background, Bat on shoulder, Bat off shoulder). Since this set was never assigned a formal title by its manufacturer, the name “T206” derives from Jefferson Burdick's famous “American Card Catalog” first published in 1939.

🚨 Pre-War Baseball Markdowns 🚨 We’ve reduced prices across our vast pre-war baseball inventory, including prices for the most iconic sets 🫨 Shop Pre-War Baseball Cards: https://loom.ly/mTlnZ1s ‘Pre-war’ is a term used to categorize baseball cards produced before 1939, or the start of WWII. Cards were typically included in packs of products like tobacco, candy, and other goods. Since these cards were produced sporadically and without clear set names, sets are referred to by catalog numbers assigned by The American Card Catalog (1951). For example, T206 is the catalog number for the famous set of tobacco cards produced from 1909 to 1911. Markdowns include: ⚾ 1887-1890 Old Judge (N172) https://loom.ly/aycno3A ⚾ 1895 Mayo Cut Plug (N300) https://loom.ly/bplzBFE ⚾ 1909-1911 White Border (T206) https://loom.ly/T6Ow1Es ⚾ 1911 Gold Border (T205) https://loom.ly/nIedCvw ⚾ 1910-1911 M116 Sporting Life Baseball Cards https://loom.ly/qlg7EOk ⚾ 1912 Hassan Triple Folders (T202) https://loom.ly/L4PviCM ⚾ 1912 Brown Backgrounds (T207) https://loom.ly/LrFJ4po ⚾ 1915 Cracker Jack https://loom.ly/qOJk5e4

Since his passing on the evening of September 30th, customers purchased 128 Pete Rose cards, including 102 in the first five days 😮 In the past year, we saw an average of 6 Pete Rose cards sold per week. We always anticipate a bump in sales whenever a legend passes, but this is extraordinary. Pete's always been an icon in Cincinnati, where our operation is located, but this shows the breadth of his popularity with baseball fans everywhere. Pete, you will be missed 🕊️✌️

Join us in commemorating Cincinnati legend Pete Rose, the Hit King 👑⚾ Pete’s record of 4,256 hits will never be beaten, and nobody played harder than Charlie Hustle. His story is also flush with controversy and heartbreak. Nothing about the man was black and white, but today we honor the Hit King’s legacy with our favorite Pete Rose cards. ⚾ 1967 Topps #430 - Not only is this a beautiful card, but it lists Pete’s position as second base and outfield, showing his versatility. His ability to play wherever needed helped build the Reds into a dynasty in the 70s. He started all-star games at five different positions in his career. Unreal. Link: https://loom.ly/VYk0Iik ⚾ 1972 Kellogg’s #6 - Pete looks like a hoss. This picture screams daily bicep curls and six-packs of Cincinnati brewed beer. His unshaven, long-haired look paired with the glossy design makes this card so 1970s. Link: https://loom.ly/rOwhU8o ⚾ 1965 Kahn’s - Dean loves this one because it’s one of the only cards depicting the Hit King as a fielder. It’s a fantastic photograph too. Link: https://loom.ly/8GCkgFo ⚾ 1964 Topps #125 - This is a nice portrait of a young Pete in those sharp, pinstripe Reds uniforms of the 60s. This card includes the iconic Topps All-Star Rookie trophy after Pete’s NL Rookie of the Year campaign in the previous season. Link: https://loom.ly/uXkOjo8 ⚾ 1963 Topps #537 - I love how ugly these ’63 rookie cards are with the floating heads, and what’s not to love about Pete’s cocky, half-smile? He was a flashy player for the time and never failed to speak his mind, for better or worse. Link: https://loom.ly/CbYIBHQ ⚾ 1978 Topps #5 - This record breakers card commemorated Pete becoming the switch hitter with the most career hits, one of many batting records set by the Cincinnati hero. Link: https://loom.ly/HMFJcS4 ⚾ 1986 Topps #1 - This card was deservedly the first in the set after Pete broke Ty Cobb’s all-time hit record in 1985. He was 45 years old and player-manager for the Reds, the last we’ll probably ever see in Major League Baseball. Link: https://loom.ly/Xc46dO4 ⚾ 1971 Topps #100 - It’s an attractive card with a nice picture of Charlie Hustle in his prime back in the early days of the Big Red Machine. Link: https://loom.ly/gWiz2yI ⚾ 1971 Topps Greatest Moments #15 - The back of the card talks about Pete’s many accolades at the plate so far in his career. At this point, the future Hit King already recorded 200 hits in five different seasons. He would play for another 16 years. Link: https://loom.ly/7xLIstU
