Enough With The Damn Money Talk; Show A Card That Makes You Happy

[Exhibitman]

This was THE sports moment for me as a kid. I was a rabid Yankees fan and stayed up late watching this game. When Chambliss hit it, I opened the window in the apartment and listened to the city cheering. I even got to go to a game of the Series...which did not go as well. No happy cards of the Big Red Machine crushing the Bombers in four straight.

This is a little different from the rest of the posts which had some very impressive items. This card is of my Granddaughter when she was 4 years old

This E220 card of Groh has always made me smile (because of it depicting Heinie's unique bottle bat, and the fact that parts of three cards can be seen), but just today while posting I was able to figure out that the card just visible on its right side is that of Roger Peckinpaugh). That made me smile some more.

Thank you Brian.
I smiled, at yours.

"I love baseball history backstory; especially when it involves cards."

I figure this thread is a good one for me to introduce myself. I've just started my vintage journey, but as a late 90s-early 00s Mets fan this was the card that really got me into baseball cards and it's still my favorite. Nice meeting everyone!

Here's one that I was admiring today. Really like the pedigree. Adds a little bit of umph to me.

I had just turned 10 years old in the summer of 1965. Baseball and baseball cards were the biggest things in life. The Cardinals had just won the World Series. My Dad went to Game 7 (with clients, not me, but I'll get over it some day) and I still have the program and tickets. The program has since been signed by each of the Game 7 starters. Anyway, I have been collecting cards and opening packs for the better part of 60 years. Nothing will ever compare to the feeling I had when I saw these two cards for the first time. The Cards Celebrate was the first of the World Series cards I got that summer. The colors, the image, the smell of the gum . . . in response to the OP's request to show a card that makes you happy, I'm grinning ear to ear.

This piece has small neodymium disc magnets on the back of the screws and it is attached to one of the metal walls of my lab desk. It's the only piece of the hobby I have at work.

Not sure when the obituary was added, but I'd think well before the dawn of the internet. Earliest death in the 52.set
