Cards That Aren't What You Think

[@cyguy29]

I find the Anson card to be the most intriguing card you mentioned. First, he's a native Iowan, and second, that's some pretty good work for the time period to get that card to look as good as it does. Appreciate you sharing.

Love the segment. Knew the story of the Reese but didn’t know it was colorized - still to me the most beautiful card of the 50s. Had no idea about the superimposed head and body or that the artist changed the Mantle photo to a catch. You asked for some other cards - the ‘56 Aaron had Mays in the action shot, ‘77 Reggie Jackson is famously an airbrushed picture of him on the Orioles - a few Oriole proofs exist and they are awesome. Great segment.

Oddly this just makes me love these iconic cards more! Fantastic research! Hope this becomes a series.

I do have a few more examples in my back pocket so I just might extend it into a series.

This was a cool video man. Thanks for sharing!

So, if the '56 Mantle card features a photo from 1951, does that make it a rookie card? ;-)

[@lovetruth1776]

It makes it even better knowing it's a shot from his RC year

[@DeadGuyCardboard]

Get yourself a RC card for 1/3 the price 😉

Or a reprint.

Great video 🤙🤙

[@pepinoman9271]

Good stuff

[@johnterry4987]

55 or 56 Aaron, can't remember which, the action shot is actually Willie May's sliding into home.

Great episode! Love this stuff. Daytona City Park is now called Jackie Robinson Park. I recently did a short that shows a shot from Homeplate. I have an 1885 Harpers Weekly magazine page, with a woodcut of the Chicago team that you showed.

[@DeadGuyCardboard]

I'll check it out!

The doctored Anson image is pretty well done all things considered. Although it is not really the same kind of thing, I've always found it interesting and amusing that the trivia on the Koufax rookie is incorrect, making it deceptive in a way.

This was fantastic, really enjoyed this! Well done!

[@psychdonbaseballcards5137]

Awesome video Ben.

[@peterb4871]

Nice research, I did not know about the head swap on the Anson card.

[@jasonalper4065]

Isn’t it Jackie sliding on Mays ‘56 card?

[@ACollectorsDream]

Truly an awesome video, really enjoyed it. Especially the Anson uniform story. And what a grail card. Thanks for sharing.

[@DeadGuyCardboard]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@dk_kardboard]

Loved this. Great stuff!

[@hammerforty-four]

Good analysis. Thanks for sharing.

[@lovetruth1776]

This may be unwelcomed news to some, but I love the truth. Perhaps the trajectory of the Mantle ball is coming straight down?

[@henrys3629]

I have a card dual signed by Ray Herbert and Bob Farley (background) from 64 Topps. Farley was on the team years prior only in 62. Herbert died in 2022, Farley is still alive. I think the Griffey would have been cool with the SB cap.

[@shakascloset1700]

Awesome video. 👍

[@DeadGuyCardboard]

Thanks 👍
