Don Drysdale Baseball Cards


WORDS FROM & ABOUT
Don Drysdale
  • Pirates shortstop Dick Groat claimed “Batting against Don Drysdale is the same as making a date with the dentist.”
  • According to Orlando Cepeda: “The trick against Drysdale is to hit him before he hits you.”
  • Drysdale retired with (154) batters hit by a pitch, the modern baseball record.
  • Frank Robinson said "He was mean enough to do it, and he did it continuously. You could count on him doing it.
  • His next at-bat after hitting a HR and yelling 'Hey, batboy, come get the bat.'" Drysdale plunked Gene Oliver, yelling 'Hey, batboy, come get Oliver.'"
  • Don Drysdale twice hit seven home runs in a season, tying the record. NOTE:Ohtani it (7) in 2024.

Are sports cards valuable ?

Like all collectibles, over time some sports cards go down in value, others go up and some can even become very valuable. Card values are based on many factors: player popularity, scarcity, condition & collector interest. A card can be scarce but without demand value may not be great.

Q: What are some ways to collect cards ? * Complete sets by year & issue
* Cards of your favorite player
* Cards of your favorite team "TEAM SETS"
* Rookie cards
* Hall-of-Famer cards
* I even had a girlfriend that collected Don Mossi (checkout his ears), players whose last name start with "Z", and the Brett brothers George & Ken (she had a crush on George).
* "TYPE COLLECTING" (everyone should at least do a little of this !)

"Type Collecting"
is collecting at least one of each different "type" of issue. On scarcer issues you can add a less expensive common while on others you can select your favorite player or team.
