Episode Description

Each Happy Hobby Sports Card Newsletter For Collectors has a handful of great sports card subjects, helping sports card collectors working with limited budgets!

While Topps is currently churning out about 250 rookie cards per year for their three flagship series, it’s unlikely they’ll miss any players. But over the past 75 years or so, there have been some glaring omissions — and we want them rectified! Somehow… I don’t have any instructions on how to do it, but still…

We list off seven of the greatest omissions in the history of baseball cards, including cards of some pretty legendary players, including Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, Reggie Jackson, Alex Rodriguez, Stan Musial and more! We even throw in a country singer!

Later in this episode, we share our favorite “Comment of the Week!” and we look at one of the all-time greatest cards ever, in “Cards That Make Us Happy!"

Spoiler Alert: It’s the 1985 Topps Mark McGwire Team USA rookie card!

And don’t forget about our shipping kit giveaway for our podcast listeners!
