Your Cards of the Day: Recently, I posted about George Brunet having seven "cap-less" cards. How about photos with the cap logo blacked out or covered with paint in the same color as the cap? The most I've found so far is three. Here is Rusty Staub. @sabrbbcards.bsky.social

Your Cards of the Day: Yesterday's cap-less photos of Eddie Fisher prompted a question. Who had the most cards sans cap? George Brunet's seven would be hard to top. Of course, Topps reused photos on two cards. I must add that others have pointed this out before me. @sabrbbcards.bsky.social s

Pilot sighting! Fabulous Sicks' Seattle Stadium!

Your Cards of the Day: There are numerous examples of the black and white "action" photos on the 1963 cards that preview the photos on the 1964 cards. @sabrbbcards.bsky.social

Your Card of the Day: "One Card Only" Edition: Ben Johnson made 21 appearances for the Cubs in 1959-60. He posted a 2-1 record with a career WAR of -0.5. Ben spent 14 years in the minors. At least Topps could have chosen a photo with his eyes open! @sabrbbcards.bsky.social

Your Cards of the Day: I've posted these cards before, but one of the best spring training backgrounds was the water towers located behind the outfield fence at Rendezvous Park in Mesa, AZ. @sabrbbcards.bsky.social

Your Cards of the Day: Spring training was once held under more primative conditions. From bad grass to mobile homes to dilapidated buildings to chicken coops, card collectors saw it all. @sabrbbcards.bsky.social

Your Cards of the Day: With KC and Philadelphia set to play in the big extravaganza, my thoughts turn to which former Phillie was the first to play for the Royals. Also, who was the first Royal to don Phillies' pinstripes? (Cookie Rojas 1970 and Gene Garber 1974) @sabrbbcards.bsky.social

Your Card of the Day: "Jenkins' Believe It Or Not" Edition: Don Rowe and Ken Rowe appear together on a 1963 Rookie Stars card. Both men would go on to appear in 26 big league games. They were not related. "Believe it or not!" @sabrbbcards.bsky.social
