现在，Topps卡不是第一次以新技术为大写的棒球卡公司

本系列中的第一部分研究了五个爱好的第一部分，并将它们追溯到他们令人惊讶的开端。在本期中，我们再看五个，从第一张带有统计数据的棒球卡到现在的早期前体到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，我们认为，我们翻转的大多数棒球卡都会有统计数据。但是，在收集的早期，情况并非如此。例如，大多数最早的棒球卡都具有空白的背部（例如，1887-1890老法官）或广告（例如，1909- 1911年T206）。值得注意的是，Topps的第一盘（1951年，或者如果您计算在内，1948年），Bowman（1948）和Leaf（1949）都在Stat Lines上鞭打，尽管Topps将在1952年到达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，可以找到四十年的时钟，并且可以通过（至少！）三个不同的烟草问题找到统计数据：1911年麦加双文件夹（T201），1911年美国烟草公司“金边框”（T205），以及1909-11 - 11-11 obak（T212）的最后一系列（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.

诚然，当时的统计数据并不是我们今天所祝福的，但是毫无疑问，他们为那个时代的收藏家完成了工作。

Magic Motion

魔术运动

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“魔术动作”的首次亮相提供了热烈的兴趣。对于某些卡片收集器，这些卡代表了他们在这款新的棒球卡技术方面的首次体验。其他收藏家只是将魔术运动卡视为他们自1983年以来一直享受的7-11 Slurpee硬币的更大版本。

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，备份了几十年，您会发现在日本国王萨达哈鲁（Sadaharu Oh）的出色销售中使用了类似的技术。 （另外，您也可以在同年发现类似的Dodger Aces Aces Sandy Koufax和Don Drysdale的销钉，但是这些动作的魔力并不那么令人兴奋。）

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.

当Topps推出吉祥物卡作为其2007年开放日发行的一部分时，反应从微笑到吟。对于某些收藏家而言，这些卡先生的卡片，而摇摆的男修道士和丁格可能是他们在吉祥物卡上的第一次体验，这种卡的历史远远落后。

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年之间与吉祥物制作了许多小联盟，唐鲁斯（Donruss）从1982 - 1984年开始著名的鸡肉卡片。

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.)

不过，如果您正在寻找一张真正的旧吉祥物卡，那么将近一个世纪的时间再到1887 - 1890年的老法官套装。 （而且，如果您不希望名人堂捕捉者Buck Ewing“破坏”您的吉祥物卡，请不要担心。小威利·布雷斯林（Willie Breslin）也有个人卡。）

Reversed Image Errors

相反的图像错误

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

勇敢的粉丝的近乎grail卡是戴尔·墨菲（Dale Murphy）的1989年上甲板上的图像卡。

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拥有自己的勇敢者不朽的相反图像卡。甚至更早地回到1940年的比赛球套装，您会发现华盛顿好友刘易斯的相反图像卡。

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，逆转图像错误的历史可以追溯到近三十年之久，在1909 - 1911年“白色边界” T206套装中至少有一个，而在1911年”的“金边框” T205套装中。 （前往安德鲁·阿伦斯坦（Andrew Aronstein）的这个惊人的照相馆，发现后者。）

Topps NOW

现在

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

毫无疑问，现在在2016年首次亮相的Topps卡确实起源于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.

毕竟看名字！玩家做的事情很棒，第二天，Topps可以出售卡。与雷吉·杰克逊（Reggie Jackson）在1977年世界大赛中击中五个本垒打时，球迷们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

合适的是，早在1933年，雷吉（Reggie）出色的壮举就在“ 44”年之前，年轻的收藏家可以挖出那年秋季经典赛的卡片。 1933年的Goudey的最后系列赛，跳过107-114、121-127和232-240，不仅具有主要参与者的卡片，而且还包括该系列本身的亮点。检查乔的背
