Happy 100th birthday Marv Levy!

It's a special last minute post to wish legendary Buffalo Bills coach and NFL Hall of Famer Marv Levy a happy 100th birthday!

Levy, of course, was the man who led the Bills to 4 straight Super Bowls, and one of the most beloved and respected in Western New York.

Back in 2004, Marv released his book, "Where Else Would You Rather Be?". As part of his promotional tour, he stopped my the local book store in Fredonia, NY (where the Bills used to have their summer training camps). It was there when I got to meet him and get a signed copy of his book.



I never noticed my picture being taken. It wasn't until months later when I visited the store again that I saw their back wall was covered in photos that the employees took from that event. I think they took a picture of everyone in line that night. I looked, and sure enough there I was watching Mr. Levy inscribe my book. The pics were there for the patrons to take, so I grabbed my pic and it's been with the book ever since.

It's amazing whenever any person reaches a century in age, and fans everywhere are blessed this wise man is still with us. Happy birthday Marv Levy, and thanks for the memories!

Top 5 Hall Of Fame Tribute: Ryne Sandberg

As a cancer survivor, it always makes me a little more introspective whenever I hear of someone else dying from it. Just a day after the Hall of Fame welcomed 5 new members, it lost one when Cubs great Ryne Sandberg passed away after a battle with prostate cancer. As I usually do, here are 5 of my favorite Ryne Sandberg cards from my collection.
 

1987 Fleer

#639 Former MVP's

(Parker/Sandberg) (SSS)

 
To be honest, I wouldn't count this as a favorite of mine, but I had to include it since we lost both of these great men recently. I was all prepared to write how these two were division rivals during the late 80's, but I had completely forgotten that at the time Cincinati was in the NL West back when their were only 2 divisions in each league. That seem so weird to me now...
 

1990 Fleer

#625 Ryne Sandberg (POD)

 
How many players can say they have a game named after them? Sandberg became a household name on June 23, 1984 when he launched a game-tying home run in the 9th inning against fellow Hall of Famer Bruce Sutter, then tied the game again in the 10th with yet another home run against Sutter! The "Ryne Sandberg Game" was the pinnacle of an MVP season for Ryno.
 

1990 Upper Deck

#324 Ryne Sandberg


 One of the best defensive second basemen of all time, his 9 Gold Gloves are second only to Roberto Alomar. All those Gold Gloves came consecutively from 1983 to 1991. Looking through my collection, I was surprised to find not many of his cards showcased his defensive mastery. This card is far and away one of his best!
 

1991 Score

#815 Ryne Sandberg (MOY)

 
It's hard to believe that actually retired twice in his career. The first time was in 1994, but he back and played in 1996 and 1997 before retiring for good. When he did retire, he held the record for most home runs by a second baseman as well as the highest fielding percentage at that position. An MVP Award, 9 Gold Gloves, 7 Silver Sluggers, and a 10-time All-Star, Sandberg is also one of just 5 players to have both a 50 steal season and a 40 home run season.
 

1992 Score

#442 Ryne Sandberg (DT) 


It's mind-boggling that despite all these accolades, it took Sandberg 3 tries before getting elected to the Hall of Fame! Even when he did in 2005, it was with just 76.2% of the votes. Ryne Sandberg is one of the greatest 2nd Baseman of all-time, and excelled like no one else at his position in hitting, running, and fielding!
 
Rest In Peace, Mr. Sandberg! Your legacy will never be forgotten!

Repack Haiku #419 (Jim Dwyer)

Grand slam by Dwyer
One of a record three slams
In a single game
 
1988 Topps #521 Jim Dwyer


During a game against the Rangers on August 6, 1986, Dwyer helped set a record for most grand slams in a game when he hit one out in the 4th inning. It was actually the second grand slam the Orioles hit in that inning! The Orioles lost this particular slug fest to the Rangers by a score of 13-11.

Trapped In Time: Remnants Of The 136th - 140th Trades


 
No bites last month, so I was able to add some nice vintage to my personal collection. Today's batch features more vintage cards, and hopefully I'll be able to give these cards to a good home.
 
Trade #136 Jeff (Wax Pack Wonders)
Traded 12/29/21: 1967 Topps #366 Andy Kosco, 1969 Topps #75 Luis Aparicio, 1970 Topps #278 Tommie Aaron, 1982 Topps #125 Danny Ainge
 
Received 12/27/21:
  • 1972 Topps #40 Bob Barton (IA) (See Trade #349)
  • 1972 Topps #48 John Ellis (IA) (See Trade #372)
  • 1972 Topps #54 Bud Harrelson (IA) (See Trade #355)
  • 1972 Topps #55 Clyde Wright (See Trade #349)
  • 1969 Topps #317 Bruce Look (RC)
  • 1968 Topps #217 Turk Farrell
  • 1966 Topps #76 Red Schoendienst (MGR) (See Trade #215)
 
 
Jeff (formerly of Wax Pack Wonders) generously gave back more cards than he received, and although it took some time I was able to trade away all but these two 60's cards. This is Bruce Look's only playing card (not including buyback-stamped ones), while Farrell is a 5 time All-Star.

Trade #137 - No Remnants!
 
Trade #138 Bo (Baseball Cards Come To Life!)
Traded 12/29/21: 2011 Finest - Jumbo Jersey Autographs Refractors (football) #AJR-JJE Jerrel Jernigan (AU, MEM, SN75), 1992 Score - 90's Impact Players #75 Ramon Martinez, 1990 Pro Set Collect-A-Books (football) #NNO Jim Kelly, 1980 Topps (football) #226 Bears Team Leaders (CL, TL), 1973 Topps (football) #21 Howard Twilley, 1973 Topps (football) #151 Ron Jessie (RC), 1973 Topps (football) #154 Jim Braxton (RC), 1973 Topps (football) #158 Tim Foley (RC), 1973 Topps (football) #200 Claude Humphrey, 1973 Topps (football) #205 Willie Ellison, 1973 Topps (football) #229 Mike Phipps, 1973 Topps (football) #250 Chris Hanburger, 1973 Topps (football) #289 Floyd Little, 1973 Topps (football) #297 Mel Gray, 1973 Topps (football) #354 Ken Burrough, 1973 Topps (football) #416 Jack Snow

No one has made more Time Travel Trades than Bo (Baseball Cards Come To Life!). This was one of our bigger trades, so it's not entirely surprising there's a remnant or two. Wynn ended up being an excellent acquisition by the Dodgers, making the All-Star team in each of his two years. Chiles and Oliver may not have been All-Stars, but both enjoyed a solid big league career. Don't let those 2 League Leader cards fool you - despite coming in second to Lolich in wins and strikeouts, Blue took home not only the Cy Young Award but the MVP Award in 1971! 
 
Trade #139 - No Remnants!
 
Trade #140  - No Remnants!

These 7 cards will join my collection if no one claims them by the next trade update. All it takes is an older card!

Repack Haiku #418 (Dave Smith)

A two time All-Star
Astros' franchise leader in
Games pitched, games finished
 
1990 Donruss #88 Dave Smith

Smith made the All-Star team in 1986 and 1990. He pitched in 563 games for Houston, finishing 400 of them. His 199 saves is second only to newly minted Hall of Famer Billy Wagner.

Time Travel Trading Update #103

  
Another big month with 7 trades to show off today! Let's dive in!
 
I already showed off some bonus cards Gavin (Baseball Card Breakdown) sent me, but now it's time to show off the trade itself. You can never go wrong with vintage cards, and Gavin sent a bunch!
 

Next I have the first of two separate trade with Greg (Night Owl Cards). In this batch we have even more vintage, with some great 70's football included!
 

Our next trade came via the TCDB. A member named Joseph was having a contest to see who could become his 3,333rd completed trade, and I took that opportunity to make our 2nd Time Travel Trade. One good thing about this trade: if no one claims them, I'll eventually add some vintage Red Sox to my collection!
 

I always enjoy it when something unique comes my way. I knew Fleer used to make stamps, but until Tom (The Angels In Order) sent some, I had never seen any in person before!
 

The latest trade from Bo (Baseball Cards Come To Life!) - a quartet of football cards! Those '75 and '76 designs in particular are sweet!
 

1989 Topps (football) #183 Steve Largent
1978 Topps (football) #515 Vikings Leaders (Foreman/White/Bryant/Eller) (TL, CL)
1976 Topps (football) #341 Stev Furness (RC)
1975 Topps (football) #200 Larry Brown 
 
*Milestone Alert!* Brendan (The View From The Third Floor) completes his 50th Time Travel trade! Brendan excels at sending a nice mix of cards from every sport and every decade. Lots of Hall of Fame players in this batch!

 
The 2nd Time Travel Trade from Greg (Night Owl Cards) comes in a little smaller than the first but no less fun! There's just not enough 1983 Donruss in my life. I do enjoy seeing it when it makes an appearance. Not sure why.

 
My eternal thanks to this month's trade partners - you guys are All-Stars!
 
As always, these cards are all available in exchange for an older card. You can claim your cards below, or through the TCDB (Kep75). Let's make some trades!

The Time Travel Trading Project is simple in concept. I started out with a random pack of 2018 Topps Series 1 baseball cards. My aim was to trade every card in that pack for something older. Each card I receive in turn is then made available for trade, with the goal to get the oldest card I can get.

Number of trades completed: 380
Unique trading partners: 89

Number of cards mailed out: 2,031
Year of oldest card mailed out: 1910-11

Number of cards received: 2,910
Year of oldest card received: 1890
