some amazing baseball cards
I’m pretty happy with some baseball cards I bought recently for less than $50. I bet you didn’t know I was a collector. Yep. Going on 40 years since I popped my first package of 1970 Topps and got a Frank Howard Washington Senators card.
These cards were made by a company called Miller Press in the 80s and 90s, and later by the Superior Card Company.
I like the way they look, and the small printings mean they’re already very rare. But rather than talk about how cool they are, I’m just going to upload some scans. Click to see larger pictures.

Google “Miller Press Baseball Cards” to find people selling them.
