I love Tony but kinda hard to invest in a card that's like 18% ass.

So either you want more ass or you're a "chest" guy.

If I was a chest guy I'd prefer the one Rod is staring at....

Notice how the photo of Bill Gullickson on this card looks kind of grainy, almost as if it was taken by someone just pointing a camera at a game being played on a 1980s TV set?

That is because the photo on this card was actually taken that way. For their 1988 set Calbee didn't have photos of some players and their last minute solution was to just take pictures of a TV during live broadcasts of games and use them. There are a few dozen cards like that in the set.

Japanese card sets of the 70s and 80s are almost unbeatable for bizarre photography.

I wonder what pre-war set has the most action photos?
This Vintage card photo's funny.
The photo's quality is not very good though.


What you don't see here are the players on either side swinging a jump rope. This was a spring training exercise often used by Cardinals in the 30's.

I guess you wouldn't want this 1887 Kalamazoo Bats card of Harry Stovey and Jocko Milligan:

This Jack Morris is one of my favorites.
