What can I say? Baseball takes four days off and I find something else to do. Don't do that, baseball! On the occasion of finding my first packs of Allen & Ginter cards yesterday, I updated the link on the sidebar, in which I list all of the non-baseball player cards in the base set, with the 2018 set. Here are all your non-baseball players if you're interested in that kind of thing. While compiling the list, I noticed that there are fewer people of the non-baseball persuasion in this set than in any other Topps Allen & Ginter set. There are just 28. It's never dipped below 30 before. Also, when you add the places and things in this year's base set -- there are six -- that comes to 34 non-baseball players, which is the lowest total since 2012, when Allen & Ginter ignored places and things completely and produced 33 cards of people who were not baseball players. I don't know what this means. Perhaps it was a particularly difficult year in land...
Up all hours talking baseball, cardboard & collecting
