This a repeat of sorts of 1976 Joe Morgan. In 2014, I posted the original version of the card which came out in 1977. A couple days ago, Kevin Burghardt posted the above photo of the most reprint version of Morgan’s 1976 card on Facebook. This card was published in…
1906 World Series Recap Cleveland Indians vs. Chicago Cubs The Cubs and Indians matchup is officially complete. This world series turned out to be a lot like the actual 2016 World series between these teams, and I was constantly in a state of frustration as I was hoping for my…
Having rolled 1121 games, I am finally down to the big payoff. My 1906 replay is actually the 2016 real world prequel. I am hoping that this matchup features the same winner. Much like my real world pre series jitters I am suffering from a bit of worry. The Cubs…

1906 replay guidelines and observations Since not everyone is familiar with my replay setup I am providing this as a separate article to save space on the actual review. Because my first replay of 1901 was for a 140 game schedule, I am going to be doing 140 game seasons.…
It’s been a while since I’ve done a Terrible Card Tuesday but the incomparable Jim Fraasch provided a good, tongue-in-cheek example that I couldn’t resist. It’s Jim Bouton’s APBA card from 1978 when he with the Atlanta Braves. This particular card is a reprint which was published in 2019. Jim…
