“ Pretty nice minor league card. Not sure what is up with that team logo though, looks like the Frederick Pulsars or Quasars. ” -Tscastle

“ Some trivia: The team's nickname is derived from Francis Scott Key, who was born in Frederick. Other than that, this card is blah. ” -hamrlik22

“ I got confused for a second and thought the guy's name was "Frederick Keys." Doesn't help that I just woke up ten minutes ago before looking at this closely. ” -Theron_Nett

“ Shade is in his face but he doesn't care! ” -lilsprite

“ Wow I'm a little surprised this is a minor league card. The front looked like a game card at first. ” -captkirk42

Hey, this is from my hometown! Though the Single-A team was taken away when they reshuffled the minor league system a year or two ago. The team is back, and now (since I just looked it up) there is another team that shares the ballpark.

The Spire City Ghost Hounds are a professional baseball team in Frederick, Maryland, that began play in 2023. The franchise competes in the South Division of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball and plays home games at Nymeo Field at Harry Grove Stadium, sharing the ballpark with the Frederick Keys. ... Until [the naming contest winner was announced], the team's hats and jerseys featured question marks in place of a name.

(Frederick's many church spires are one of it's landmark features.)

I'm continually entering tradeable inventory. Full want lists are at https://thecollectivemind.blogspot.com/p/baseball-wants.html Use the green tabs to navigate.

Have entered 1994 thru 2021 baseball and 2009 thru 2020 football so far. Don't have many newer than 2020 except A&G in baseball, and very little beyond 2019 in football. My extra hockey is older than that.

The best I have for a tradelist otherwise is https://thecollectivemind.blogspot.com/search/label/Disperse%20the%20Hoard

The logo represents bombs bursting in air (from Key’s song, the national anthem).

The back has a facsimile look to it but overall, not a bad card.

A good random card coincidence with a team whose name is derived from the author of the U.S. national anthem on U.S. independence day.
