Baseball Card Magazine "Cards"

[dd41623]

Thanks for the welcome, ALR-bishop. I am a Filipino based in Singapore, so baseball cards are unavailable locally. I have a few Bowmans from 1950, 51, 52 and 54, bought from Ebay. Guess they will do for now . I was introduced to them years ago by a Baseball Cards Mag article featuring 1954 Bowmans, with the author recalling neon green grass on Turk Lown's card, haha. Will feature them on my intro post (apologies to the op for seemingly hijacking this one).

I love to use them for ttm auto items. They are great cards. Thin stock though.

I love that it added a card to my Tuffy Rhodes collection.



Tuffy wasn't all that highly touted as a prospect, and came along when the Astros seemed to be overloaded with AAA-level guys trying to make the next step, so he wasn't included in many rookies or prospects type sets.

Disappointingly, even though Hensley Meulens rated a full two-page spread in a 1988 issue, he never got a card in the magazine.

Ah yes, Karl "Tuffy" Rhodes.

For 1 week in April 1994 he was the toast of the world, hitting 3 home runs on opening day, putting him on a pace to hit 450. He only hit 8 that year and 13 for his career.

I think Upper Deck got a better twosome to join him though.....

One of the inserts had the 1971 look. I like the black borders.

They were nice cards. I believe I have a few Yankees in my collection, such as Mattingly done like a 1957 card.
