Mike D's New Web Site: Baseball Card Scans

[Mike D.]

Hey Guys,

I just posted a new site I've been working on for a while. Check it out:

Baseball Card Scans

I've always scanned small sets as a I break them up for TTM projects and the like. I'm finally getting a site posted that contains checklists and scans (front and back) for these sets.

The set is launching with 20 sets and over 3,400 scans. I have a ton more sets to add, but wanted to get something up there to share.

Anyway, I hope you guys check it out and enjoy it. I have no idea if this site is useful or enjoyable for anyone, but I'm hoping so and will to continue grow it. Comments are very welcome!

Nice site. I noticed #121 Bill Serena and #122 Yogi Berra seemed to have their scanned cards switched in the 1953 Bowman set.

Very cool site, Mike. Must've been a lot of work. Thanks for sharing!

[Extra Innings]

Very nice. I'm going to bookmark it and use it as a reference when I'm searching for certain cards.

Looks like a labor of love for you.

Love that set! I miss the old 33-card drugstore box sets.

I always wanted to do a site with scans of funny cards or cards where players are signing cards, since I enjoy getting autographs. Maybe one of these days when I get motivated...

Yeah, those were something, huh? They all ran between 33 and 44 cards, and they'd churn them out like crazy...I posted several Fleer ones from 1987 on the site recently, and you know they released a bunch more that year.

They all have a very similar set of players, and had little ryhmne or reason to who was in the set. The "Record Setters" set makes no reference to what, if any, record the player broke, for example.

That could be a fun blog...scan the cards and do a short writeup for each one. There are some interesting cards out there!

I already have my TTM site and the new complete set site going, but at some point I'd like to go through my collection of vintage cards and rookies and document them all and post the scans...maybe one of these days!

Just added:

1990 Donruss Rookies

[Mike D.]

Added:

1990 Score Young Superstars 2

[Mike D.]

Added:

1988 Big League All-Stars Series 1
1988 Big League All-Stars Series 2

These two small sets put me over 5,000 total scans for the site!

Anyone seen these cards before? There's no marking as to who might have made them. I'm wondering if they were some kind of promo or unlicensed set.

[Mike D.]

Added:

1990 Score Rising Stars

This is the 50th set I've added to the site, which now features over 5,200 scans.

[Mike D.]

Added:

1988 Las Vegas Stars

This set features both Alomar brothers, Bruce Bochy and Kevin Towers as players, and more...

[Mike D.]

Added:

1990 Topps Major League Debut

This set is pretty interesting...it features players who made their major league debuts in 1989. There are some stars, but also a bunch of guys I've either never heard of or long ago forgot about!

[Mike D.]

Added:

2002 Lowell Spinners

I don't see a single future major leaguer in this set...kinda interesting that nobody on that particular team "made it".

Added:

1987 Fleer Baseball All Stars
