Tony Stevens passed on this 1929 Tripp Sigman card. Wesley Tripplett Sigman’s card is more than worthy of the Monster column. A 13-8, whew!
But what makes this card all the more delicious is his playability. Most Monster APBA cards I see like this are for players who went 1 for 2 or maybe 2 for 3. Sigman maintained a .517 average for a total of 29 at-bats for the Philadelphia Phillies. Not only that, he hit two homers and a double.
| Split | G | GS | PA | AB | R | H | 2B | 3B | HR | RBI | SB | BB | SO | |||

Sigman’s card is pretty record breaking for somebody who had more than just a cup of coffee. He was given an almost unheard of 24-9 and 42-7 to go with his 13-8. He has a total of NINE sevens on his card to with his 1-1-6 power numbers.
Sigman’s hit numbers all laid out in a row:
1-1-6-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-8-8-8-9-9
Fun numbers: 42-7, 13-8, 24-9
Tripp Sigman made it back for the 1930 season and did “all right”. He hit .324 with four homeruns in 100 at-bats for the famous last place Phillies. After the 1930 season, Sigman hung up his spikes.
Thanks Tony!
Hopefully this Q is somewhat related (it’s about APBA reissue sets):
When APBA reissued 1970’s (and other seasons) baseball sets it appears as if they added a player for every team. EG: I believe the 1976 original set had 24 players per team (20 reg. plus 4 XB), but the reissued 1976 set came with 25 players per team.
If the above understanding is accurate: Is there a list anywhere that shows which extra player card was added to each team for each reissued season?
Thanks & apologies in advance if my original versus reissue set counts are not accurate.
This card like so many others should appear on Freaky Friday or Weird Wednesday. For me at least posting cards like this demeans truly awesome seasons. Take a look at Chuck Klein and Lefty O’Doul two members of the 1929 Phillies who had had awesome seasons. Sure Sigman has a better card but come on rank the players.
Hi Bob,
Freaky Friday… don’t get me started on another column :)
Seriously, you’re not the first person to make this kind of comment. I’ve said from the beginning that MCM was all about the card but I’ve tried to gear MCM towards star players and those that play more often.
That said, Sigman DID go 15 for 29 which is still pretty amazing. It wasn’t like he appeared in one or two games.
thanks for the input,
Tom

Hi, does anyone know how much one of these cards is worth? I have one and can’t seem to find it online.
Thank you!
