Two new vintage Hall of Famer rookie cards, Brooklyn Dodgers edition
Posted in Hall of Fame Rookie Cards with tags baseball cards, Bowman, Brooklyn Dodgers, Duke Snider, rookie cards, Roy Campanella on June 8, 2012 by Cardboard IconsIt’s been more than a week since I’ve been able to sit down and write something.
Forgive me, I’ve been busy … busy buying rookie cards!
It took some shuffling of assets, but I was able to knock out two more big rookie for my collection. And I love the fact that both of these cards hail from the 1949 Bowman set.
These 1949 Bowman Roy Campanella and Duke Snider rookie cards are graded as being in “poor” condition, but the presentation value of these cards is so much better than other “ones” I’ve seen for sale. Wouldn’t you agree?

1953 Bowman Color Pee Wee Reese might be the greatest Dodger card ever made
Posted in Instagram Portraits with tags 1953 Bowman Color, baseball, baseball cards, Bowman, Brooklyn Dodgers, Greatest Baseball Cards of All Time, Los Angeles Dodgers, Pee Wee Reese on May 11, 2012 by Cardboard IconsDodgers.
Whether you’re talking about the Los Angeles or Brooklyn squad, the legacy of the Dodgers runs deep. And on cardboard there is no shortage of options when searching for the greatest Dodgers picture card of all time.
But in my mind, they don’t get much better than this:
We see a lot of great photography on modern cards. And we rarely stop and think about it when we imaged of infielders with a glove in their hand emblazoned on our collectibles. But this 1953 Bowman Color Pee Wee Reese is quite amazing given the technology of the time.
Think about it. The photographer caught Reese in mid air making the throw from second base to first.
Was it staged? Absolutely.
But the photographer still had to capture Reese several feet in the air with a camera that is antiquated by today’s standards.
Simply amazing.
