A collection of cards depicting Major League Baseball teams' "City Connect" jerseys, listed in chronological order of debut.

This is an ongoing list, as more teams debut their jerseys and Topps actually prints them on cards. I prefer using a Flagship Topps card released as close as possible to when the jersey is worn, but I often have to wait until the following year for them to appear at all. I'm willing to use cards from other sets - or even inserts - but I try to only upgrade with a much later card if it provides a clearly superior look at the uniform. Additionally, I consider any City Connect themed insert sets to be cheating for this list, so they will not be considered.

I decided to select 2 cards of each team's jersey. Preferably to represent both a pitcher and a hitter, but more importantly, to get a look at as much of the uniform as possible. (Front/Back/Hat/Helmet/Sleeve patches, etc.) Preference is also given to stars or players I heavily associate with the particular team, but I'll take just about anyone if their card looks nice.

For 2023 Debuts: Only have 1 of Braves, Rangers, & Orioles. Added a placeholder Reds card. Still need 2 Mariners & Pirates. (Stadium Club may pull through and help me, but I'm mostly just crossing my fingers that the 2024 Topps Elly RC has him wearing a City Connect).

Golf Sets I have that need 5 or less to finish.

All of baseball's heavy hitters and hurlers.
Accepting suggestions 240+ lbs. I will also accept your suggestion if they look more than that but aren't. Will also accept 236-239 lbs. (but that's not very common due to it being oddly specific.)
NEW FEATURE: I will now accept funny pictures you have for any of these big players! For example: https://www.bostonherald.com/wp-content/uploads/migration/2016/02/21/022116soxms10.jpg?w=535

Please help me compile a list of all of the cards with Emmitt Smith in them that are not his card. TIA.
I have not found a card of someone tackling Emmitt Smith.

A running list of Astros players of which I have 100+ different cards in my collection.

A Collection of the Incredible People I Share my Birthday with. While I have more than 3300 cards in this collection, I'm limiting this list to a 5 or 6 at most per subject.

Each player's card is from 2019 or the next possible year, except that multi-player cards, game cards and a few other types are skipped over and used only absent other options. Minor league cards are used as a last resort. I own each card pictured. The highly uninteresting rules are in my profile page, linked above.

See any mistakes, such as the card picturing the wrong player or misspelling a name? Or maybe a higher priority card exists but isn't yet listed in TCDB? Please let me know.

My version of a list where I only need one card to complete my Red Sox team set. I currently have over 3200 unique completed Sox team sets, but there are still a ton of commons (and a lot more less common) I need to fill sets.

Cards featuring Don Mattingly, but not as the main player of the card. Also includes cards where the image includes something of Mattingly's (bat, retired number, etc.)

Playing their first season in 1967, the Reading Phillies are tied for the longest active affiliation in MiLB. This is a list of all major league players and managers who appeared on the Reading Phillies, or as they are known today, the Reading Fightin Phils.

Players with no cards:
Ron Allen (Reading Phillies in 1968-1969, St. Louis Cardinals in 1972.)
Manny Muniz (Reading Phillies in 1968 and 1970, Philadelphia Phillies in 1971.)
Al Raffo (Reading Phillies in 1967 and 1970-1971, Philadelphia Phillies in 1969.)
Leroy Reams (Reading Phillies in 1967-1969, Philadelphia Phillies in 1969.)
Gene Rounsaville (Reading Phillies in 1967-1968, Chicago White Sox in 1970.)
Gene Stone (Reading Phillies in 1969, Philadelphia Phillies in 1969.)
Bob Terlecki (Reading Phillies in 1970-1971 and 1973, Philadelphia Phillies in 1972.)

I am hunting copies that pass The Nose Test, showing 51% (or more) of the referee's face, using their nose as the measuring tool.

I am always looking for copies of these cards with a better percentage of the referee's face visible to "upgrade" my project. If you have a card on this list that is cut OC and passes The Nose Test, let's make a trade!

Autographs obtained through the mail or in person. Also the occasional purchase of a non-authenticated card if I trust it.

The list is sorted by the date when the autographed was received, starting with my first autograph obtained.

This is a list of the cards I won by correctly guessing a player within three of the packs assembled by Gunny in a fun and interesting giveaway. Thanks again to him, and you can read more about the rules/other winning packs here: https://www.tcdb.com/Forum.cfm/Page/B/ID/0/?MODE=VIEW&ThreadID=44387&PageIndex=1

One of my dad’s friends works for the Clippers, so whenever he gives us tickets to games I bring some cards to try to get signed!

Each player’s card is from 2017 or the next possible year, except that multi-player cards, game cards and a few other types are skipped over and used only absent other options. Minor league cards are used as a last resort. I own each card pictured. The highly uninteresting rules are in my profile page, linked above.

Here are the cards that are on my most want list!

This collection started out as checklist cards with Ted's name included. They didn't seem worth including in my main collection, but they were easy enough to acquire for the most part. I then expanded it to include cards that may include Ted or his car in the picture, but not clearly visible enough to pick out for sure.
