The Greatest Red Sox Cards of 2022

I've done this list for the past three years (If you're interested - 2019, 2020, 2021). One thing I could always count on was a few great cards from Stadium Club. When this year's set got postponed a few times, I started to worry. Was Stadium Club going to follow in the footsteps of Big League and not release until the following calendar year? Fortunately, Stadium Club did release in the nick of time, and thanks to the TCDB, I was able to see what all the base cards looked like. Did any crack the Top 10? Find out below:

 

10. 2022 Topps Heritage - 1973 Topps Comics

#73TC-17 Rafael Devers

Like a lot of kids, I grew up reading comics in the daily newspaper. The Sunday Comics were instantly grabbed and poured over. The whimsy of those days is reflected in Heritage's recreation of the 1973 Topps Comic inserts. These cards are just plain fun!

#313 Vazquez Leads Red Sox (BS)

The way things are going, this may be the last Red Sox postseason highlight card produced for awhile. I love the look of elation on Christian's face, and the card is well-framed with the perfect background of equally-elated fans.

 

8. 2022 Topps Now

#587 David Ortiz

A Hall of Famer holding his plaque will always be a cool photo for a card. Big Papi looks sharp holding his.

 

7. 2022 Stadium Club

#196 Wade Boggs

Topps has used this image before, but it reaches it's potential by getting the full-bleed Stadium Club quality treatment. I feel sorry for the chicken he picked out...

 

6. 2022 Topps Update

#US44 Ted Williams (SP, VAR)

I don't know why Topps enjoys showing Ted Williams with cars, but this is the best one yet with Williams waving from behind the steering wheel.

 

5. 2022 Stadium Club

#151 David Ortiz

It's amazing that next year will mark the 10th anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombings. Ortiz lifted a whole city with some casual swearing. The flag backdrop makes this card really stand out!

 

4. 2022 Topps

#398 Jackie Bradley Jr.

JBJ was known as Superman in some Red Sox circles. The guy could get airborne like no other, especially when catching a ball. Dude could fly trying to score too!

 

3. 2022 Choice Worchester Red Sox

#06 Triston Casas

99.9% of the time, minor league cards don't even register when it comes time to create a list like this. I usually don't even waste my time with them. However, this card is fantastic. I'll argue it's one of the best bat-flip cards ever put on cardstock. Taken from a great angle, it captures the bat in the air perfectly, with Casas and the catcher looking off to the side watching the ball travel. I love this card, and I'm looking forward to seeing Casas do this on the Major League level.

 

2. 2022 Topps Heritage

#213 Christain Vazquez

Vazquez makes his 2nd appearance on the list with this beautiful horizontal offering from Heritage. Action scenes like this are why horizontal cards exist.

 

1.  2022 Topps

#90 Enrique Hernandez

For the second year in a row, Kiki takes the top spot! I've already blogged about how he has been kissed by the cardboard gods, and this card is just the latest proof of that. Hernandez's athletic contortions really pop off the card against the simple but unmistakable backdrop of the Fenway Park.

So there you have it! Do you agree with my rankings? Any cards that I might have missed?

Repack Haiku #286 (Mike Bielecki)

The first night game ever at Wrigley Field occurred on August 9, 1988.

Trapped In Time: Remnants Of the 28th Trade

 

You have to love it when things just align perfectly, right? Here's it is December, and we've reached the last Trapped In Time post for 2022. As it turns out, today's highlighted card comes from the very last Time Travel Trade of 2018!

 

Trade #28 (Bo:Baseball Cards Come To Life!)
Traded: 

• 1962 Topps #278 Ken Johnson

Received:

• 1990-91 Pro Set Super Bowl 160 (football) #16 SB XVI Ticket - San Francisco 49ers/Cincinnati Bengals (See Trade #31)
• 1990 Pro Set - Theme Art (football) #10 Super Bowl X Pittsburgh Steelers/Dallas Cowboys
• 1960 Topps #289 Willie Jones (See Trade #89)
  

 

 

Bo (Baseball Cards Come To Life!) threw in a couple of bonus football cards with this trade, and this lone trophy remains. I guess there aren't many Steelers or Cowboys fans amongst my readership. I'm not a football collector, so I'm hoping this card finds it's way into someone's welcoming hands!

Not counting this card, I've featured 13 cards in the Trapped In Time series. I've only been able to trade 4 of them, which isn't bad considering these cards have been in the trade stack for 4 years. 2019 was the when this project really started gaining momentum, so there will be a lot of cards getting their "last chance" in the coming months. Spoiler, next month's post will be a big one!

Repack Haiku #285 (Jack Voigt)

Did Fleer make a pun?

Called him a "jack-of-all-trades"

On back of his card

 

1994 Fleer #23 Jack Voigt

 

In addition to the outfield, he was used at first and third base as well.

Time Travel Trading Update #72

 

In regards to the Time Travel Trading Project, things have been crazy. Normally, I get most trade offers within a few days of the latest update. This past month however has seen a consistent stream of trade offers, including a new trade in each of the past two weeks! I've got plenty of cards to show off, but I think this may the first time I also have numerous trades still in the works. Nothing like staying busy around the holidays!

 

Our first completed trade comes from a guy named Mike. When I put out a last call on the 1982 O-Pee-Chee E.T. card, he was one of the few TCDB collectors that had it on his want list. We managed to make a larger trade, and now the stack has some great 80's cards added, including the iconic Gary Pettis card:

 

My next trade came from Ken, a TCDB member that has Time Traveled with me once before. (He's also one of the trades I have pending for next time!) He's been a fun trade partner because he targets vintage, hasn't been too concerned with condition, and offers up some great vintage in return. This time around he included some bonus cards from 1989:

But we're here for the vintage! For the first time ever, we now have baseball cards (and 1 football) from the 1940's! (OK, technically I had some cards from the 1947-66 Exhibits W461 set, but those were most likely from the 50's or 60's). They're in rough condition, but they're still amazing.

Brendan (The View From The Third Floor) came back for another trade, but mentioned in his note that this might be his last Time Travel Trade. If that's true, my second-most frequent trade partner is going out with a bang. Brendan included a lot of extra cards, including some football:

Some recent baseball cards:

As well as some older ones:

I'm not sure which is cooler - the 2 Japanese cards or the 1994 "rookie card for every guy on this card except" Derek Jeter gold card!

Our final trade comes from none other than Bo (Baseball Cards Come To Life!).  1974 Topps is one of the more plentiful sets in the stack, and Bo gave it a nice boost!

I must admit, I kind of miss seeing the floating heads of coaches on cards.

That's 4 trades this month, but I have 4 more already in progress for next month! That's going to be a big month for sure, so stay tuned!

 

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: 212 (4 pending!)
Unique trading partners: 66

Number of cards mailed out: 986
Year of oldest card mailed out: 1910-11

Number of cards received: 1,474
Year of oldest card received: 1890
