(This is Day 5 of our response to Tony L.’s 30-Day Baseball Card Challenge. See all our posts in this series here.)
I don’t know anything at all about certified autographs, but …
- Day 5 of Tony Lehman’s 30-Day Baseball Card Challenge says: “A certified autograph card of one of your favorite players.”
- It’s Day 5 of the Challenge.
- I like a challenge, even if I’m not comfortable with it. Maybe especially.
- Oscar Gamble is awesome.
- Topps thinks Oscar Gamble is awesome enough to give him some Archives love.
So rather than tell you a story about the 2016 Topps Archives Snapshots Oscar Gamble Certified Autograph card — what a mouthful! — I’m just going to break down what I like about it.
In graphical format.
Here goes, and if you know any answers to my semi-rhetorical questions, by all means leave them in the comments!

I like the Archives Snapshot design for being clean too. It goes to show that we don’t need all the swooshes and smoke and angry in-action faces that the current flagship designs seem to promote.
True. There are some “heavy” designs from the past that I enjoy, though. Anything with a funky border, for example. 🙂
That photo was taken at old Yankee Stadium, not in Spring Training. Compare the seats, ads, wall, and flag pole in that pic to this one: http://briansballparks.com/images/bp038d.jpg
Thanks, Rick! I knew someone would have the answer. Good eye!
