Sandy Koufax, a legendary left-handed pitcher for the Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers, is widely considered one of the greatest in baseball history, known for his blazing fastball and devastating curveball, as well as his dominance on the mound, which earned him the nickname "The Left Arm of God".

As a kid, I ... HATED ... Sandy ... Koufax. I was a Juan Marichal fan. How could you not be.
With that super-cool high leg click and his 1964 Topps card ... he was my guy.
But Koufax was the best.
1963: Marichal: 2.41 ERA and 25-and-8 ... not good enough ... Koufax: 1.88, 25-and-5.
1966: Marichal: 2.23 ERA and 25-and-6 ... not good enough ... Koufax: 1.73, 27-and-9.
OKAY !!! Koufax was the best !!!
Arm issues caused Sandy Koufax to retire. I actually recall feeling sad back 57+ years ago when I heard.
I also recall thinking: "Now ... no doubt ... everyone will see ... Juan Marichal is the best !!! "
1968: Marichal 2.43 ERA and 26-and-9 !!!
... not ... good ... enough, BOB GIBSON's ridiculous 1.12 ERA !!!

Koufax had several great cards ... but his most expensive is his 1955 Topps Rookie card

How long have sports cards been around ? (part 2)

The first important and mainstream basketball set was issued by Bowman in 1948. Other than a Topps set in 1957-58 and a 1961-62 Fleer set, there were no mainstream basketball sets issued until Topps started producing yearly sets beginning with their 1969-70 set featuring the rookie card of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who then went under the name of Lew Alcindor.

In hockey, there were a few sets issued in the 1910's and while O-Pee-Chee issued some sets in the 1930's, the real modern sets began in 1951 with the itroduction of Parkhurst's first set.

In racing, while cards go back as far as the early Indy car days of 1911, modern racing sets began in 1988 with the issues released by MAXX.
