Over the past couple of years, I’ve adopted baseball card collecting as a hobby. I joined during a peak time due to the pandemic, but also an opportune time given a renewed relevance for the White Sox, and how sought after some of their cards are to collectors.
Topps released its Series 1 set in mid-February, and unsurprisingly, they took advantage of the Field of Dreams game. While multiple cards used photos from that game, arguably none are better than Tim Anderson’s short print (SP).
Despite being one of the game’s best shortstops, TA mainly has been limited to base cards in Topps sets since his rookie season.
