I queried Louis Requena (1919-2013) under the editorial category at gettyimages.com and it returned 832 pictures! It's a beautiful collection. I'll bet a lot of his 8x10 prints were used for autographs at card shows.

He was NY-based and I'm sure he was on Topps' speed dial ... I posted a few of the cards he must have done, along with his pics that were near duplicates (link included).

I also think many cards were produced from his photo sessions, even if a similar card photo is NOT in Getty. I put in examples of my guesswork, too.

Thanks to the NJ Guv restrictions, I can now play an extra in a remake of 'Slap Shot'. That was just a movie, but here are few genuine shaggy examples during my youth.

As a collector of Phillies cards, I enjoy a collection starting with some 1951 Bowman to present day. I decided to go after all Topps cards during that time frame, as well as the Bowman cards up to 1955. This list is starting with the 2 I'm missing from the 1960s that is keeping me from being complete from 1955 to present day and I'm adding to the list going from 1954 back.

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.

People I can't identify on NBA cards.

The autographed cards I have managed to obtain of my all-time favorite player. Finding these at a "reasonable" price can be challenging as Chris does not frequently appear in Panini's autograph offerings.

We've been given the green light to re-format the playing card decks (at least the ones permissable here) with ♣, ♦, ♥, & ♠ in the card numbers. I am willing to do the editing (including the re-ordering to get them in ♣/♦/♥/♠ order, running A-K). Please leave a link to the set (or a link to a card in the set) in the comments, and I will add it. When I have completed it, I will remove the item from this user list and add it to this user list. I am going to leave the Renegades listing in case I ever get the list down to zero sets (like that will happen).

My ten most wanted cards... and maybe a few additional

In celebration of 69 years of Topps Baseball

Located inside Citi Field

Just as a means of showing which sets have been fully re-formatted in the approved manner - now sorted in chronological order (then alphabetical - all genres are mixed in). If you know of any sets that need this formatting, please go to this user list and leave a link to the set(s) in the comment section. I will add them to the list and fix it soon. Thank you.

Mark McGwire was the first player I ever saw play baseball (on TV), he was the first player I ever saw hit a HR live (at Busch). I know that there are over 8700 cards out there, but I am patient.

Since 1959, Topps has selected players for their annual All-Star Rookie Team. It usually consists of C, 1B , 2B, 3B, SS, 3 OF, LHP, RHP. In 2010 they added a RP, and in 2018 they added a DH. Topps would than put the trophy symbol on that players card the following year. (ex- the 1959 players had it on their 1960 card). In 1974 and again in 1979 thru 1986, All-Star Rookies were selected, but the trophy cup was left off. There were also other times the trophy was left off individuals cards, which will be noted in the comments.
This list will show the year by year rosters using the Topps flagship set. The comments will have players accomplishments, along with a listing of their other miscellaneous and variation cards with the trophy on it.
You can check out my Topps All Star Rookie Cups collection at my collection page. It also has my want list.
The comment section about the players is a work in progress.
Will update the list when new year comes out.

The Philadelphia Flyers set an NHL record in the 2018-19 season for most goalies played by a team in a single season at 8, here they are. Out of the 8 only 3 remain, Carter (Starter, Cahtah) Hart, Brian (Moose) Elliott and Alex Lyon.

Lyon currently plays for the AHL Phantoms and was called up for 3 games this season when Hart was out with an injury. He proved to be a valuable prospect for a future backup to Hart, starting 2 games and filling in for Elliott after he was pulled in the beginning of the 3rd period in a home loss to New Jersey. Out of his 2 starts, he stopped 36 out of 40 shots on goal during an all-around ugly 4-1 home loss to Montreal and stopped 28 out of 31 shots during a 6-3 home victory against Colorado. The game he filled in for Elliott in the third was another all-around ugly game when the Flyers were shutout by the Devils in a 5-0 home loss.

A definitive gallery of my favorite team, St. Louis Cardinals, on my favorite card design, 1987 Topps.

32 special teamers were named to the NFL's 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s, 75th anniversary, or 100th anniversary teams. This list consists of one card I own of each of them plus three cards I own of special teamers who were special in other ways.
Gale Sayers and Deion Sanders qualified for the list as special teamers, but their noted accomplishments also include their success at RB and CB respectively.
In George Blanda's case, his accolades were as a QB, but it was his ability as a kicker that extended his career.

At the beginning of the 2019 season, the Reds traded Homer Bailey and prospects to the Dodgers for Yasiel Puig, Alex Wood, Matt Kemp, and Kyle Farmer marking the first time the Reds had added significant pieces to their major league roster. That year at the trade deadline, the Reds added Trevor Bauer proving that the Reds were serious about contending. At the beginning of the 2020 season, the Reds added a few more players including, Mike Moustakas, Nick Castellanos, Wade Miley, and Pedro Strop which made them candidates (and favorites for some) to make the playoffs and win the division.

Behind the scenes stories about cards in my Darren Daulton personal collection.

Error cards featuring the wrong player will be the most obvious, but I'm also looking in the background. Major releases only. Going to exclude team cards that feature the whole team e.g. 1979-80 Topps/OPC hockey team cards for example. I'll need help for the other sports.

Unibrows and bushy brows. Only the best example card for each "bush" league player.

Funny names and names that are ill-suited to a player's profession. Some you may have to take liberties with pronunciation.

Baseball cards that show the infamous Turn Ahead The Clock jerseys.

I mean, who doesn't love Arizona Cardinals great Emmitt Smith. This is the list where Hakeem Olajuwon as a Toronto Raptor just feels right.

Cards that depict players on a card that were traded for each other.

No team cards.

Players who only appear on one Topps flagship card.

Missing these cards for my Vince Young Texas Longhorn collection. Only looking for autographs in Longhorns jersey. If not listed, still interested in looking. Thanks.

A current list of my favorite teams colored or serial numbered cards

The 1980s and early 1990s will always represent "my" era of hockey fandom and collecting. I still watch the games, of course, and collect cards of current players, but will never feel the same emotional attachment to today's stars as I do to the players I grew up watching in the 1980s. Since most of the autograph cards I collect feature players from that era anyway, I decided to challenge myself by trying to collect autographed cards from each of the top 100 scorers of the decade. Scoring totals here are based on the 11-year period from 1979-80 through 1989-90.

Yes, Stevie Y was pretty awesome at playing hockey, that we all know. My wife became a Red Wings fan when Yzerman was drafted on June 8, 1983. As a hockey fan, and having 2 uncles who were big into sports cards, she was able to get many sets through the 1980s, as well as many extra cards. For our 1 year wedding anniversary (in 1996), I decided to get a "joke" gift being that the traditional first anniversary present is paper and I picked up a handful of Yzerman cards (ones I knew she wouldn't already have). Well, the joke was on me, she loved them, and when I told her the shop near where I worked had more, I was tasked with getting more. When I finished with that shop's supply, we turned to shows, and eventually would end up attending the Spring and Fall Expo in Toronto for about 5 or 6 years (hockey collector heaven). The collection grew, and grew. Many oddball items were obtained, some that aren't even listable here (like tickets, brochures, magazines, and even mini hockey sticks with photos on them). However, the impressive part was the number of standard cards we were able to get going back to the beginning of his career to the time we stopped (August 2002 - when we were expecting a baby and knew our card budget just became the baby budget). This list will spotlight a few of the more interesting, rare, or simply cool Yzerman cards we obtained over those years. I hope you enjoy them and I hope I can remember how we got most of them!

His official cards won't be listed.

2018-19 Panini Prizm BK - Neon Green Fast Break. The color and look of these cards is spectacular. At SN5, seeing the scans of these cards might be the only option. The scans are still quite nice.

38 versions of this card exist (the base and 37 parallels) and while I will never be able to collect all 38, too many low numbered SN's, I figured I would give it the old college try - within reason.

The worst team Wayne Gretzky was on (Not counting the lockout shortened season), the Kings finished 24-40-18 while Gretzky was traded mid-season to St. Louis

The first year of the infamous Gortons fisherman logo saw the Islanders finish 22-50-10.
