Author: Thomas Nelshoppen

I am an IT consultant by day and an APBA media mogul by night. My passions are baseball (specifically Illini baseball), photography and of course, APBA. I have been fortunate to be part of the basic game Illowa APBA League since 1980 as well as a frequent participant of the Chicagoland APBA Tournament. I am slogging through a 1966 NL replay and hope to finish before I die.

Weird Card Wednesday: 1970 error correction card

Today’s Weird Card isn’t really an APBA Card at all but was included in the 1970 set.  It was an accompanying card that simply corrected the errors that APBA Company caught after the set was published but before it was shipped. Scott Veatch who sent this to me, says: “The…

Terrible Card Tuesday: 1970 Tony LaRussa

Being April Fool’s Day, I toyed with the idea of maybe posting a Babe Ruth or Rogers Hornsby card for Terrible Card Tuesday but I figured you all have seen enough fake stuff on the web today.  Brought to by Scott Veatch, today’s selection IS a Hall of Famer but…

Monster Card Monday: 1908 Ed Walsh

This is a Monster Card that is well overdue.  The pitcher who all pitchers are compared.  It’s Ed Walsh of 1908. In 1908, ‘Big Ed’ went 40-15 with the Chicago White Stockings.  In 464 innings, 66 games and 49 starts, he compiled 269 strikeouts, 42 complete games, and 11 shutouts,…

Weird Card Wednesday: 1970 Danny Murphy

Two weeks ago, I did a Weird Card for Dan Murphy’s 14-laden 1969 card.   Turns out, he had a penchant for turning out strange APBA cards.  Scott Veatch passes this one on to me.  This card is from 1970 when Danny moved to south side to pitch for the Sox. …

Monster Card Monday: 1985 Dwight Gooden

This is Dwight Gooden’s 1985 card.  As Rich Zawadski put it, he was the “first A&C starter since 1978 Ron Guidry (1981 Nolan Ryan – Strike) and the last until 1995 Greg Maddux (1994 Maddux – Strike).” At the ripe age of 20, Doc Gooden had a career year for…
