Trade Full of All Stars

 My latest batch of cards that arrived on Monday were courtesy of TCDB member eortiz01.  He managed to fill a pwe with a bunch of Cardinals all stars.


Dizzy Dean made 4 All Star teams from 1934-1937.  This 2019 inserts highlights his 1934 season when he was the last National League pitcher to win 30 games in a season.  This 2017 Pujols highlights his 2004 All Star game, one of 9 he appeared in as a Cardinal.  He also made the 2015 team as an Angel.  



Goldschmidt made 6 All Star games with the Diamondbacks, but none so far with the Cardinals.  If their is a full season in 2021, I bet that will change.  Holliday made 4 of his 7 All Star appearances as a Cardinals.  The other 3 came as a Rockie.  I love the Berkman cameo on this 2012 Topps Red parallel.  Not sure which guy hit the home run that they are celebrating.  Lance only played 2 seasons in St. Louis, but managed to be an All Star in one of them.  Along with 2011, he appeared in 5 other games as an Astro.


Only DeJong and Wainwright have been on All Star teams from this group, but they all get a 2019 Topps All Star game parallel card.  Nothing too exciting about these cards.  This is a parallel set I could do without it, but the collector in me will try to complete the team set.

  1. Nice to see Dizzy Dean on cards, and the throwback unis on Holliday and Berkman.

    1. Dean does not get the Topps love that other Cardinals HOF players get. I am also a sucker for throwbacks.
