About this listen
It’s been a wild week at the shop! Joe’s been holding hobby history in his hands. We’re talking 1951 Bowman Willie Mays, Mantle rookies, Clementes, and more. But, that’s just the warm-up.
This episode takes you on a deep dive into baseball card design across the decades, starting with the 1950s, rolling through the '60s, and hitting the sweet spot of the '70s. Joe ranks his all-time favorite Topps designs from each era, calling out the iconic, the underrated, and the just plain ugly (sorry, 1974).
Whether you're a vintage collector, a design nerd, or just someone who loves talking cardboard, this one’s for you. Plus, find out which sets tug on Joe’s childhood heartstrings and which ones he’d rather forget.
Which year had the most beautiful cards? The worst? And where does your favorite stack up?
