1965 Topps, Bob Gibson

Card No. 320

One of the most feared hurlers in the game's history, Bob Gibson graces the iconic 1965 Topps design for today's Jukebox hit....Is there any real argument that '65 Topps is the best of the decade?....Bob is one of 10 pitchers in baseball history to win the Cy Young and MVP in the same season (1968)....This is Gibby's 7th Topps card....His rookie can be found in the 1959 Topps set....A fine '65 season saw Gibson accomplish a pair of a firsts: a 20-win campaign and an N.L. Gold Glove.

1994 Topps, Doc Gooden

Card No. 150

An outstanding athlete and a capable batter, this is the one and only Topps card of Doc Gooden featuring a non-pitching action photo....Topps began using the nickname "Doc" on Gooden's base cards starting with the 1990 set....Reverted back to "Dwight" in 1997....This is Doc's final Topps card as a member of the New York Mets....Dr. K's rookie is part of the 1984 Traded series....Nightmarish '94 season--which included a 6.31 ERA over 7 starts--was punctuated by a 60-game ban for illegal substance abuse.

2014 Topps, Jose Ramirez

Card No. 424

With so much buzz around the rookie cards of Masahiro Tanaka and Jose Abreu in 2014, players with much less buzz like Jose Ramirez were lost in the shuffle initially....The '14 set was the last time a Topps base design featured a border....Generally, I think the '14 design is a tad busy, but I've come to appreciate it over time....Jose has been included in each Topps base set since '14 with the exception of 2016 (he was later included in '16 Update)....Jose produced seven 3-hit games as a rookie for the Tribe in '14.

1967 Topps, Frank Robinson

Card No. 100

The only man to win MVP in both leagues, the great Frank Robinson is today's Jukebox hit....Earned N.L. MVP award in 1961 with Cincy and captured Junior Circuit honors in '66 with Baltimore....This is Frank's second card as a member of the O's....His rookie can be found in the 1957 Topps set....In 1967--one year removed from his second MVP season--Robinson smashed 30 homers and logged 94 RBIs for the Birds.

1992 Topps, Frank Thomas

Card No. 555

A case can be made quite easily that this is Frank Thomas' best Topps card in terms of artistic presentation....As you can see, some of the photo choices in the 1992 Topps set are every bit as good as those used in that year's super-premium Stadium Club product....This is one of two horizontally-oriented cards of Frank in the Topps catalog (1997 being the other)....Thomas' iconic "#1 Draft Pick" rookie card can be found in the 1990 set....The Big Hurt established a career high and led the A.L. with 46 doubles during the '92 season.

1982 Topps, Jorge Bell

Card No. 254

In honour of Victoria Day for our friends in Canada, we proudly present the rookie card of former Blue Jays slugger and 1987 A.L. MVP George Jorge Bell....Listed as "Jorge" on his first four Topps cards....Became "George" beginning with his '87 Topps card....The only thing nicer than the all-powder blue Jays uni is Bell's handsome signature....Played 60 games for Toronto in 1981 but did not see any action for the big club in 1982.

2015 Topps, Derek Jeter

Card No. 1

The 23rd and final Topps card of Yankees captain Derek Jeter....The great photo choice plus the attractive design of 2015 Topps places this one firmly in my top-three favorite Jeter cards....Derek first appeared in a Topps set in 1993 when he was featured in the "1992 Draft Pick" subset....Jeter boasts a rare trifecta, earning Rookie of the Year (1996), All-Star Game MVP ('00) and World Series MVP ('00) accolades during his storied career....Retired after the 2014 season with 3,465 hits, which is 6th-most in MLB history.
