Collecting Cleveland Indians Topps team sets from 1952-present, as well as post-war minor and major league autographs.
The 1980 Cleveland Indians went 79-81, Finishing 6th in the American League East. Key Cards and Notes There are no key cards in this set. Gosh, this team had terrible pitching. The only thing really worth remembering this club for was it was the rookie year of “Super Joe” Charboneau.[…]
The 1979 Cleveland Indians went 81-80, finishing 6th in the East. Not a terrible collection of hitters, with five players with an OPS+ over 114. Andre Thornton was a beast, going .233/.347/.449 and leading the team with 26 HR. Bobby Bonds, Rick Manning and Toby Harrah helped make sure the Indians led[…]
Notes The 2015 Indians were supposed to be a decent team. They went 85–77 the season before and considering how young there were there was no reason they would not build on that. They didn’t and ended the season 81-80, 3rd in the Central. You can read what happened here. I love[…]
When this set came out people were kind of critical about the design. I have to say…it grew on me. I am not sure if it’s in my Top 10, but its close. Notes and Key Cards This Indians team was one inning away from winning the World Series. That[…]
Another easy set to slap together–Series 1, 2 and update were easily bought together. 2017 Indians Yea, I really don’t want to talk too much about this team. Finished the season with a 102-60 record and was the favorite going into the playoffs. The favorite. This team will be remembered[…]
This set was easy to put together. Just bought the whole set (Series 1, 2 and Update) all at once. Note and Key Cards: Its a little bit of a bummer that a couple players are not in the set. Roberto Perez is the one that jumps out the most.[…]
This set took a little longer than most to finish. I bought most of the set through a guy selling partial team sets. But he did not have any of the “Semi High” (cards #447-522) or “High” (#523-576), which cost a little extra time and money to get. Notable cards with[…]
Look what showed up in the mail yesterday…how exciting: My 2017 Cleveland Indians Base Set (Series #1, #2 and Update) In case you did not know: I am in the middle of trying to put together every Topps Cleveland Indians base set from 1952-present. It’s a little easier since the[…]
Just uploaded this set. The 2014 pitching staff was…just so bad. Corey Kluber was great. He went 18-9 with a 1.095 WHIP and 160 ERA+ over 235 innings and won the Cy Young. You can see the potential was there…Carassco was showing positive signs of life, Bauer pitched like[…]
Last night I spent an hour uploading my Topps Now cards. I have been putting it off since the whole World Series thing still stings a little and I try not to think about it whenever I can. But, I have a website to build. So I bit the bullet.[…]
