2019 Bowman Sterling Baseball Bowman Sterling has revived its product-laden line, which fell out of the MLB card rotation, with the 2019 standalone Bowman Sterling Baseball set that hit shelves on Aug. 14. Each pack of the hit-heavy release contains one autograph, with five signed cards expected per box. This is a substantial change from the previous iteration that had 18 autographs per box. The full-fledged Sterling brand was last seen in 2014, but was most recently a continuation insert found across Topps products. The 100-card base set is a 50-50 split between rookies and prospects. Collectors also have multiple parallels to chase: Refractor, Speckle Refractor, Gold Refractor, Blue Refractor, Black Atomic Refractor, Red Refractor, SuperFractor and Printing Plates. Inserts include Sterling Retrospectives, which transports collectors back to the initial…

It is an understatement to say that collector David Kathman is enthusiastic, or that he gets into the details, or that he has a good memory. While he is like many of us who retained our childhood collections and got back into the hobby as adults, Kathman is now an avid collector of not only cards but hobby history. He enjoys obtaining and reading articles, ads and letters about the hobby origins and how collectors shared information and obtained cards. Pulp by the pound Kathman started picking up old hobby publications 25 years ago and has kept at it, piling up hobby pulp by the pound. In doing so he has often linked his collection to hobby pioneers (Burdick, Barker, Carter and Wagner) and a following generation of longtime hobbyists…

For the past few years, this longtime HOF watcher has attempted to predict the coming year’s class of new inductees in these pages. Derek Jeter has a lock on his election. The only outstanding question is whether he will follow Mariano Rivera’s lead and become only the second player ever to receive 100% perfection in the balloting. After Jeter, election prospects by vote of the Baseball Writers Association become murky. New HOF members come from three distinct groups — holdovers from the previous year’s ballot; those newly eligible after the five-year waiting period following retirement; and old-timers chosen by the latest iteration of what’s commonly known as the Veterans Committee. In the first group are two very big names: Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens. Both have undeniable on-field credentials for…

Located in the Mule Mountains of southeast Arizona, the mining town of Bisbee plays a significant role in not only baseball history but labor unrest. Baseball fans know a little about Arizona and the national pastime: about half of the MLB teams hold their spring training there; Reggie Jackson and Barry Bonds once played at Arizona State University; and the Arizona Diamondbacks made their debut in 1998, and won the World Series in 2001 – thanks to Luis Gonzalez’s soft liner over Derek Jeter’s head in Game 7. But there’s a lot more to the state’s baseball lore. Bisbee is home to Warren Ballpark, considered the oldest continuously used professional baseball venue in the country. The field was built in 1909, five years before Chicago's Wrigley Field. There probably aren’t…
