11 Days of Freehan- Day 6

A visit to the PO Box this morning brings today's 11 Days of Freehan , a favorite card that was gifted to me on TweetX. 

🐅⚾️ The 1971 Topps Baseball card set is my All-Time favorite, and they have been since this then 11 year old opened up those glorious packs.

        😎⭐️😊 Love 1970s Big League.      Catchers. 

Have  great Sunday.

11 Days of Freehan 

Day 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

These two specially made art cards especially the hand drawn card using the 1960 (year I was born) Topps design are so cool and I really was fortunate to have them made.

I don't remember what years these cards were made and I couldn't find either artist,  Card Art Show & Cheap Seats Cards on TwitterX. 

👀👀 I found Cheap Seats cards HERE.

This beautiful card was gifted to me by my friend Dennis , way back when I was much more involved in reading and posting stuff.

I've been gifted many a card over my 14+ years, but this was the start, and I'm very appreciative of all of you in our Blogging Community. 

Thanks, Dennis, appreciate you!

Happy Baseball Birthday- "Oil Can " Boyd is 65 today!

A very special Happy Baseball Birthday! to former big league pitcher, Dennis "Oil Can" Boyd, who's 65 today! 

⚾️ "Oil Can" has a prominent place in the ever growing Boyd Binder, second only to Matthew Boyd in the amount of cards for a player with BOYD in their name. 

👉 Because the binder with his cards are in storage, the images on this post are all from Trading Card DaDatabase.

🎂🎁🥳 Have a great day, Mr. Boyd, we love you and we appreciate you!
