Nerdtastic!

by Hairy Backman | March 23rd, 2009

Lets face it: baseball cards aren’t what they used to be. For one, the gum isn’t as powdery. Sometimes it even comes wrapped its own plastic, so it doesn’t dull the gloss on the cards. And the designs are too modern looking. And the photos… don’t even get me started. Today’s baseball card photos don’t capture the essence of a true baseball pose. You know the pose I’m talking about: Profile shot, head turned every-so-slightly towards the camera, bat resting on the shoulder. And back when we were kids, big goofy glasses, and occasionally facial hair, were required.

Which is why we love Nerd Baseball – a site solely dedicated to displaying some of the greatest baseball cards in history. And by greatest, we don’t mean the Ted Williams misprints or the Ken Griffey Jr. Rookie cards. My personal favorite? Sammy Stewart.
