lineup cards

[tigerdale]

I have a collection of detroit tigers lineup cards (the small size exchanged at home plate)...I have at least one per season over the past 25 years. I also have some from the 70's, 60's & 50's (very few). I have one from the 1937 season....just curious whats out there or if any collectors have some older than that..........

Sounds like a great collection. I think manager lineup cards as well as dugout lineup cards are quite undervalued. They display great, are legit game-used items and usually feature the handwriting of the manager listing the big names from both teams.

I have a couple dozen or so White Sox dugout lineup cards and nearly the same amount of White Sox manager lineup cards. They're among the coolest collectibles in my collection. What's not to dig about a White Sox vs. Baltimore dugout lineup card with Cal Ripken Jr. on it during his streak? Or a manager's card listing Sammy Sosa as a rookie? Or a dugout card featuring rookie Frank Thomas in the same lineup as Hall of Famer Carlton Fisk?

Sorry For The Delay In Posting Some Pics...heres A 50's, 60's, 80's & 90's.........

Those are so cool.

It's interesting how different Anderson's auto looks on those cards compared to the ball posted in this thread. You'd never believe it's the same dude.

Then again, my sig can look pretty drastically different from one day to another too.

[harpt]

Now that I look again, those sigs are as much as 26 years apart...Spark would have been pretty old in '06. It stands to reason that his autograph would look different than when he was a spry 90-something in 1980.

[tigerdale]

very true, it was many years ago, plus , on top of age, I believe Sparky has been battling a form of parkinsons too.....my main collection is tigers, but over the years, I have picked up a few others...a yankee lineup w/ mantle & marris, even a red sox one w/ Williams...they are great history.

[harpt]

Congratulations on a VERY cool collection.

[tigerdale]

just to add to my original post....in the past few months, I also picked up a 1968 lineup card from the detroit tigers...something I never thought I would ever get!!

[tigerdale]

this will be my newest addition.....washington senators ted williams carbon...

[tigerdale]

hows this for another lineup twist or collectable....having a lineup from a person when they were a player, then a manager...I know this happens a lot, but the older ones are tough...heres Ted Williams & sparky anderson....sparky was tough, as he was only a player for one season!!!

[tigerdale]

Its been awhile, thought I'd post more of my lineup (& dugout) cards....
first is a july 3, 1973...Gaylord vs Jim Perry (only time!!)...Clevelands signed by Gaylord & Detroits signed by Jim....the second photo of from the angles dugout May 24, 1984...the day the tigers became 35-5!!!!
Finally a 1937 tigers (filled out on a St Louis card)...

[tigerdale]

picked up a 1944 tiger lineup card...ripped corner...but a pretty old one!!

New member here, though some of you may know me from other baseball collectible related sites.

Love this thread as I almost never come across people who collect lineup cards. (Did a search for "lineup cards" so I know I am bumping a very old thread...)

I seem to be having trouble posting pictures now, but my primary focus is on line-up cards from Hall of Fame managers and I've been able to pick up some pretty nice ones including Ted Williams, Walt Alston, Joe Torre, Bucky Harris and a few others. I also have a couple of World Series line-up cards. And probably the most "special" line-up cards I have are from George Brett's 3,000 hit game.

If someone can help me on posting scans that would be great (I keep getting messages that the files are too large...

Here is my oldest line-up. From 1934, and signed by manager Walter Johnson.

[Guttapercha]

My only line up card I own but think its a pretty cool one.

I sent you an email (couple of days ago). Let me know if it didn't come through.



Also included a couple of Casey Stengel lineup cards from 1948 when he managed the Oakland Oaks of the Pacific Coast League.

This is my only lineup card. Pretty cool to be from one of the games that Ken Griffey Jr. and Sr. played together in.

[Topnotchsy]

Thought I would bring this thread back from the dead, since I've continued to build on the collection. Lineup cards from the 1974 World Series. Holtzman got the win.

Thanks for posting. I love seeing these old lineup cards, and great names.

Sadly, I got into lineup cards late, so none of mine are close to being vintage. Most are from games we go to and can get without paying for them, so save for a handful at most, there's no real value aside from the memories they hold for me/my kids. If anyone is curious, I blog about our experiences getting them here: https://lineupcards.wordpress.com/. There are plenty of pics. We've gotten 210 in 5+ years, including 30 from MLB games (mostly from bullpens), the rest from MiLB, indy, college, college summer and a couple from a WBC qualifier.

I will attached a pic of probably our coolest card, even though it's not vintage. It's from Cavan Biggio's cycle game last September.

Q&A I did with Jeffrey Lazarus about his fantastic collection of lineup cards: https://lineupcards.wordpress.com/2020/05/29/collectors-2000-lineup-cards-offer-unique-insight-into-nearly-90-years-of-baseball-history/
