Lineup cards: Let’s see what’s out there.

Have to get the thread to the top. Base-stealing expert Maury Wills started 1969 with the Montreal Expos, but was soon traded back to the Dodgers. Upon returning to Montreal to play the Expos, Wills (not known as a slugger) hit his one and only career grand slam on August 16, 1969. Although undated, this is the only date this line-up ever appeared in a road game.

Fantastic card! Was that from the recent collection of 1969 lineup cards that hit eBay? I picked up a few from those listings.

Yup, Jeff, from the eBay listings. Since they aren't dated, it takes a bit of leg work to figure out which game they were from. The Wills Line-up card isn't a major find, but I didn't have anything relating to his career in my collection so I was happy to get it.

Yup. I was able to pick up a Hank Aaron HR, which I was very pleased to find.

Wills may not be a household name anymore, but he was such a huge part of the Dodgers for a really long time!

Been looking for a Pete Rose as the Reds Manager Lineup Card for awhile now, it's a Spring Training Game, but it'll do. This would be Rose's last year as a Player/Manager '86.

Player Manager, '84, '85, '86. Just Manager '87, '88, & '89.

Wonder if Pete had a few bucks on this game.

Nice lineup!

If you are ever looking for a particular player or team etc feel free to reach out. I've been collecting lineup cards for years and have purchased a number of large collections from umpires and managers. (I could help you with a Rose regular season one if interested.)

Saw this thread bumped back up, and figured I would share a recent pickup.
