Why do you guys keep calling that a "Schmidt?" That card is a "Cey." Go Dodgers!

That is because it is Schmidt's rookie card. Cey's rookie card was 1972 Topps.

No, it is a "Hilton"

It is not even Cey's rookie card!

Did I say this was Cey's rookie? Because if I said it was Cey's rookie, you should say don't say that about Cey, but I don't see where I said Cey's rookie. If I could see where you saw me say Cey's rookie, I could see what you say about Cey. But I don't see what you saw, so what can I say, it's Cey!

Ron Cey's Rookie Card is in 1972 on a 3 player card. IIRC at this early hour, the card number is 761.

So Cey Hey! And let's go back to Mr. Schmidt

A very historical card where we see the origin of mistakenly using an apostrophe on a word simply meant to be plural. Card collectors, some 130 years later, continue to discuss their Goudey's and their Matty's in the spirit of this very card.

Thousands upon thousands of people have watched Mike Schmidt play. Not a person alive has seen Comiskey. So in that sense I can understand it.

Which opens up a whole new can of worms in regards to the market floor for vintage. Eventually, it's just gonna be millennials (I want to apologize in advance for my generation) collecting, and not a person alive will have seen Mantle, Mays, etc., play.
