Warren Spahn Baseball Cards

WORDS FROM & ABOUT
WARREN SPAHN

"He was something like zero for twenty-one the first time I saw him. His first major league hit was a home run off me and I'll never forgive myself. We might have gotten rid of Willie (Mays) forever if I'd only struck him out."

"I don't know if we're the oldest battery, but we're certainly the ugliest." - Yogi Berra in 1965

"I don't think (Warren) Spahn will ever get into the Hall of Fame. He'll never stop pitching." - Stan Musial

Warren Spahn has won the most career games by a left-hander, with 363 wins.

He also holds the record for most wins by a pitcher who played entirely in the post-1920 "live-ball" era.

A 17-time All-Star !!!

Won 20 or more games in 13 seasons !!!

Was 23�and-7 at the age of 42.

Baseball card collecting terms (part H-R)

High Numbers - vintage cards were issued in the �50s-�70s in a series. During the baseball season, the largest number of cards were made. As the schedule progressed into September, when there would be less interest in baseball cards , Topps for one, specifically decreased production and hence much less product was available. As a result, a scarcity-factor was created and a premium holds for these first type of "short-printed" cards.

Inserts - special randomly-inserted cards which are not part of the regular set. Many modern inserts are sequentially-numbered and rarer than the card sets into which they are inserted.

O-Pee-Chee / OPC - a subsidiary of Topps, this card issue was produced specifically for distribution in Canada.

Promotional Card - generally referred to as cards issued to show what the product will look like on release and intended to help spur future sales. Often called a "promo" card.

Reprint - cards issued to reproduce the originals. With the current trend of vintage reprints, the new versions have a distinguishing characteristic evidenced by numbering.

Restored - a card or piece of memorabilia which someone has tried to return to a "like-new" condition. A restored card is considered to be of very little value.

Rookie Card - any league-licensed, widely distributed card to feature a player in his first year of trading cards.
