現在，Topps卡不是第一次以新技術為大寫的棒球卡公司

本系列中的第一部分研究了五個愛好的第一部分，並將它們追溯到他們令人驚訝的開端。在本期中，我們再看五個，從第一張帶有統計數據的棒球卡到現在的早期前體到Topps。

Today we take it for granted that most baseball cards we flip over will have stats on the back. However, this was not at all the case in the early days of collecting. For example, most of the earliest baseball card sets either featured blank backs (e.g., 1887-1890 Old Judge) or advertisements (e.g., 1909-1911 T206). Notably, the first sets from Topps (1951, or if you count it, 1948), Bowman (1948), and Leaf (1949) all whiffed on stat lines, though Topps would get there in 1952 and Bowman in 1953.

今天，我們認為，我們翻轉的大多數棒球卡都會有統計數據。但是，在收集的早期，情況並非如此。例如，大多數最早的棒球卡都具有空白的背部（例如，1887-1890老法官）或廣告（例如，1909- 1911年T206）。值得注意的是，Topps的第一盤（1951年，或者如果您計算在內，1948年），Bowman（1948）和Leaf（1949）都在Stat Lines上鞭打，儘管Topps將在1952年到達1953年的Bowman。

However, turn back the clock four decades and statistics could be found with (at least!) three different tobacco issues: 1911 Mecca Double Folders (T201), 1911 American Tobacco Company "Gold Borders" (T205), and the final series (Type 3) of the 1909-11 Obak (T212).

但是，可以找到四十年的時鐘，並且可以通過（至少！）三個不同的煙草問題找到統計數據：1911年麥加雙文件夾（T201），1911年美國煙草公司“金邊框”（T205），以及1909-11 - 11-11 obak（T212）的最後一系列（T205）。

Admittedly, the stat lines back then are hardly what we're blessed with today, but they no doubt got the job done for the collectors of the era.

誠然，當時的統計數據並不是我們今天所祝福的，但是毫無疑問，他們為那個時代的收藏家完成了工作。

Magic Motion

魔術運動

In 1986, upstart Sportflics took the Hobby by storm with its "magic motion" debut offering. For some card collectors, these cards represented their first experiences with this new baseball card technology. Other collectors simply recognized the magic motion cards as bigger and better versions of the 7-Eleven Slurpee coins they'd been enjoying since as early as 1983.

1986年，Upstart Sportflics以其“魔術動作”的首次亮相提供了熱烈的興趣。對於某些卡片收集器，這些卡代表了他們在這款新的棒球卡技術方面的首次體驗。其他收藏家只是將魔術運動卡視為他們自1983年以來一直享受的7-11 Slurpee硬幣的更大版本。

Back up a couple of decades, however, and you'll find similar technology employed on a wonderful pinback of Japan's home run king, Sadaharu Oh. (Alternatively, you can find similar pins of Dodger aces Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale that same year, but the magic motion on those isn't nearly as exciting.)

但是，備份了幾十年，您會發現在日本國王薩達哈魯（Sadaharu Oh）的出色銷售中使用了類似的技術。 （另外，您也可以在同年發現類似的Dodger Aces Aces Sandy Koufax和Don Drysdale的銷釘，但是這些動作的魔力並不那麼令人興奮。）

Mascot Cards

吉祥物卡

Reactions ranged from smiles to groans when Topps introduced mascot cards as part of its 2007 Opening Day release. While for some collectors these cards of Mr. Met, the Swinging Friar, and Dinger might have been their first experience with mascot cards, the history of such cards goes much further back.

當Topps推出吉祥物卡作為其2007年開放日發行的一部分時，反應從微笑到吟。對於某些收藏家而言，這些卡先生的卡片，而搖擺的男修道士和丁格可能是他們在吉祥物卡上的第一次體驗，這種卡的歷史遠遠落後。

For example, TCMA produced numerous minor league sets with mascots between 1975 and 1986, and Donruss famously included cards of the Chicken from 1982-1984.

例如，TCMA在1975年至1986年之間與吉祥物製作了許多小聯盟，唐魯斯（Donruss）從1982 - 1984年開始著名的雞肉卡片。

Still, if you're looking for a truly old mascot card, head back almost a full century more to the Old Judge set of 1887-1890. (And if you don't want Hall of Fame catcher Buck Ewing "ruining" your mascot card, no worries. Little Willie Breslin has solo cards in the set as well.)

不過，如果您正在尋找一張真正的舊吉祥物卡，那麼將近一個世紀的時間再到1887 - 1890年的老法官套裝。 （而且，如果您不希望名人堂捕捉者Buck Ewing“破壞”您的吉祥物卡，請不要擔心。小威利·布雷斯林（Willie Breslin）也有個人卡。）

Reversed Image Errors

相反的圖像錯誤

A near grail card for Braves fans is the hard-to-find 1989 Upper Deck reversed image card of Dale Murphy.

勇敢的粉絲的近乎grail卡是戴爾·墨菲（Dale Murphy）的1989年上甲板上的圖像卡。

However, 32 years earlier Topps had their own reversed image card of a Braves immortal. Head back even earlier, to the 1940 Play Ball set, and you'll find a reversed image card of Washington's Buddy Lewis.

但是，32年前，Topps擁有自己的勇敢者不朽的相反圖像卡。甚至更早地回到1940年的比賽球套裝，您會發現華盛頓好友劉易斯的相反圖像卡。

Yet, reversed image errors date back nearly three full decades before that, with at least one in the 1909-1911 "White Borders" T206 set and another in the 1911 "Gold Borders" T205 set. (Head to this amazing photo gallery from Andrew Aronstein to spot the latter.)

然而，逆轉圖像錯誤的歷史可以追溯到近三十年之久，在1909 - 1911年“白色邊界” T206套裝中至少有一個，而在1911年”的“金邊框” T205套裝中。 （前往安德魯·阿倫斯坦（Andrew Aronstein）的這個驚人的照相館，發現後者。）

Topps NOW

現在

Without a doubt, Topps NOW cards, which debuted in 2016, genuinely did originate with Topps.

毫無疑問，現在在2016年首次亮相的Topps卡確實起源於Topps。

Look at the name after all! A player does something great, and Topps has the card for sale the very next day. Quite a contrast to when Reggie Jackson hit five homers in the 1977 World Series and fans had to wait until at least March to nab their "record breaker" card of Mr. October.

畢竟看名字！玩家做的事情很棒，第二天，Topps可以出售卡。與雷吉·傑克遜（Reggie Jackson）在1977年世界大賽中擊中五個本壘打時，球迷們至少要等到三月才能拿出十月先生的“唱片破碎者”卡。

Fittingly, it was "44" years before Reggie's fantastic feat, back in 1933, that young collectors could scoop up cards of that year's Fall Classic. The final series of 1933 Goudey, skip numbered 107-114, 121-127, and 232-240, not only featured card's of the main participants but also included highlights of the Series itself. Check the back of Joe

合適的是，早在1933年，雷吉（Reggie）出色的壯舉就在“ 44”年之前，年輕的收藏家可以挖出那年秋季經典賽的卡片。 1933年的Goudey的最後系列賽，跳過107-114、121-127和232-240，不僅具有主要參與者的卡片，而且還包括該系列本身的亮點。檢查喬的背
