http://www.dingedcorners.com/2009/02/2009-topps-american-heritage.html
A family blog about baseball cards. 2009 Topps American Heritage. We picked up a minty fresh 125-card set of American Heritage from an eBay seller for $5, along with the "relic" card pictured down below for an additional 99 cents. We give Topps a lot of credit for this series. That three-card checklist makes for some serious reading. These are, for various reasons, some of our favorite cards:. Interesting choice of photograph. Classy-looking dame. We can't quite grapple with the word "aviatrix.". Did Mr&...

Dinged Corners: Tuning in to 1955 Bowman baseball cards.
http://www.dingedcorners.com/2009/06/tuning-in-to-1955-bowman-baseball-cards.html
A family blog about baseball cards. Tuning in to 1955 Bowman baseball cards. At a recent trip to our nearest card shop, Derek's Dugout in Albuquerque, we found three 1955 Bowman baseball cards. They are mesmerizing. It seems safe to assume that at least some of the 1955 Bowman baseball card photographs were taken at Shibe Park. Well, Athletics underwent some changes, eh? Mr Nieman is perplexed, too. Look at him staring up at the Wilmer "Billy" Shantz card! By the way, whenever you see that formulation...

A family blog about baseball cards. An interview with two daughters of baseball. For collectors, images on baseball cards may remind us of the game's history or details about a favorite player. But something we don't often consider as we open a pack or organize a binder is that there is complex, rich life behind those poses and shots. Even though your dad played for different teams, is Chicago mainly where you grew up? Did you get to explore the backstage world of Wrigley Field? And we got a behind-the-s...
