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 D-F)

Die-Cut A special card that differs from a basic card by "Die-Cutting", cutting away portions of the card to create a special design. Most are serially numbered & limited.

Error Card Baseball card history is filled with error cards, many of them very interesting. Hank Aaron is on 2 of my favorite error cards. Aaron's 1956 Topps card action photo shows Aaron sliding home but it is actually Willie Mays not Aaron. Topps again goofed on Aaron's 1957 "reversed negative" card showing Aaron batting left-handed.

"Error Cards" are usually found early in print runs and often corrected. When this correction happens a VARIATION is created. Some variations are extremely interesting and very expensive while others are totally boring and you wonder why they were even made.

Extended Set Also frequently called Update Set or Traded Set.
They are sets issued after the original release to update the regular set with new and traded players.

Facsimile Autograph is an autograph printed on a card to show what the player's actual signature looks like. They are not "real" autographs.

Factory Set are complete sets usually in special boxes produced by the manufacturer. "Hand-Collated Sets" are sets collectors have put together card by card from packs.
