Bunts on cards! (And vintage tennis cards.)

PC: cards depicting bunts, tennis cards (HOF & vintage), cards depicting players signing autos, & Dwight Evans.
Pinned
Yes, it's me, Bunt Wax Era, from down the 3rd base line.

I mostly post about cards depicting players bunting from my collection, but also cards depicting baseball players signing autographs. And vintage tennis cards.

Feel free to say hi and give me a follow.
Another HOFer bunting card added to the want list.
In 1989 I covered a minor league team that featured both Jeff Kent and Carlos Delgado.

No shade to Jeff Kent, but his getting in while the others on the ballot didn't, reminds me of Jethro Tull's Crest of a Knave album beating Metallica's ...And Justice for All for the 1989 Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance.

And I say this as a Tull fan. (But not a 1989 Tull fan...)

Say what you want about this year's HOF vote, but I just realized that I don't have Jeff Kent's rookie card, so I added it to the want list for my bunting card collection.

One of the rarest plays in the big leagues these days: the two-strike bunt hit!

There was only one of them this season.

Your Cards of the Day: In 1968, kids could be excused for mixing up the Reds' Chico Cardenas and Chico Ruiz. The bunting pose, smiles, Wrigley Field setting and unfortunate nicknames combine to create confusion.

I was looking back to a year ago and it looks like I almost doubled the size of my bunting collection in the past twelve months.

Update: I now have 364 cards depicting players bunting.

Finished logging the latest bunch of bunters into TCDB and getting the bunters in binders. Here's a page of some '81-'83 Topps bunters.

Update: I now have 701 cards in my collection that depict players bunting.

I was entering the cards into TCDB in the order they were stacked in the pile, and this Shane Mack 1989 Upper Deck card was number 700.

Finally had some good downtime over the weekend to get the pile(s) of stacked up bunters entered into TCDB.

Picked up this lot from the 1937 Ogden's Champions of 1936 set.

I was interested in Tennis HOFer Fred Perry (he started a clothing line you might've heard of).

The other 2 cards - both players are in the Badminton HOF - were a bonus. Not my collection focus but fun nonetheless!
