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.

I don't generally love cards from non-playing years, but this is a fun, sharp card.

Ty Cobb 2016 Topps Update - 3000 Hits Club

I've never been a huge fan of cards that aren't from playing days, but, hey, it's Ty Cobb, with a pose that, unless I was told was a bunt, might otherwise have evaded my buntdar.

I do love that 3000 hits is illustrated with a bunt, though.

Yes, those are thumbtack holes. Thank god this wasn’t a Yankees card.

Guidry really bore brunt of your sibling rivalry!

Awesome! Do you have any idea how the pinholes got there?

Previously owned by a Dewey fan who pinned it up on a corkboard in their '70s bedroom?

Sneaky!

I do have it - and if you look closely at the bottom center of my profile pic, you can see Chalk peeking out from this card. Fun!

I have a handful of Damon bunting cards, but not this one. This one is actually on my want list, so I must've seen it somewhere online recently.

Definitely! If I can sense that a player is even thinking about bunting I'm on board...

This is an awesome card.

Yeah, I have that one too! It's quite the trio.

Bunt Wax Era @buntwaxera.bsky.social · 15d

Reminds me of the '68 and '69 Jim Fregosi same bunting image pair.

Did you know that the Jim Fregosi 1968 and 1969 Topps cards use the same bunting photo?

Well, now you do.
