I'll allow it! By the numbers, you can collect 258 HOFers with Topps cards - including the 1963 Bazooka ATG and 1985 Topps Woolworth sets. Another 27 have had cut Autos that are 1/1s so I didn't count them. Doug Harvey doesn't have a card, but is umping on the Tenace the Menace WS card in 1973 Topps

Anyone know the answer to this one? And Justin, we’ll kick it off (if you count it) with 1979 Topps Dave Campbell #6. Tim Keefe back but no artwork. In general 1979 is a solid source for old-time greats.

The tale of Ricky Jordan's seafood milkshake may be one of the funniest and grossest stories on the back of a baseball card.

Still, without looking it up, wouldn't you assume at least a 40% chance there's a guy named Cortland Brockport playing D1 college ball somewhere in America?

A well-done and very interesting post … of course, my favorite detail is the Braves scout mentioning that he’s en route to a college game between Cortland and Brockport. Guessing he didn’t find any Hall of Famers there.

Not to over-romanticize the past, as fans of vintage cardboard tend to do, but was 1954-56 the best three year stretch for great World Series moments?
