Davey Johnson was the everyday second baseman for the Orioles between 1966 and 1972, winning two World Series rings with the club in 1966 and 1970.  He made three All-Stars teams with the Orioles and won three Gold Gloves.  Traded to the Braves following the 1972 season, Johnson's power numbers exploded as he hit a career-high 43 home runs (42 as a second baseman) to go along with 99 RBIs.  His home run tally tied the record for second baseman set by Rogers Hornsby, and the record stood until 2021 when Marcus Semien hit 44 at the position.  Johnson, Darrell Evans and Henry Aaron (#100) all hit at least 40 home runs in 1973, making that Braves team the first with a trio of players to reach the mark.  Johnson spent the 1975 and 1976 seasons playing in Japan for the Yomiuri Giants.  He returned to the majors in 1977 with the Phillies and played two more seasons before retiring and beginning his managerial career.

From the 1978 Phillies Yearbook

Following several seasons as a minor league manager, Johnson was named the Mets manager for their 1984 season and he'd lead the club to their second World Series title in 1986.  Johnson would enjoy a lengthy managerial career, winning Manager of the Year honors twice - in 1997 with the Orioles, and in 2012 with the Nationals.  Johnson's career record as a manager was 1,372-1,071, ranking him 10th all time in winning percentage among all managers with at least 1,000 wins.  He was inducted into the Baltimore Orioles Hall of Fame in 1997 and the New York Mets Hall of Fame in 2010.

Building the Set / Card #606
September 21, 2025 from The Philly Show (Vintage Sports)

On Sunday morning, September 21st, I made the hour-long drive to the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, Pennsylvania for the latest installment of the Philadelphia Sports Card & Memorabilia Show, known to its friends as The Philly Show.  The show has a legitimate official sponsor (eBay) and the advertisement for the event notes the show is in its 50th year.  I hadn't attended a baseball card show since the last Philly Show in December, and I was flying solo to this one as our oldest son is in his first month of college at Villanova.  I posted a full summary of the show over at The Phillies Room.

I made stops at six tables at the show, all yielding needed cards for our 1969 Topps set, and I left the show with just 16 more cards to go for my version of a complete set.  My second stop was the aptly named Vintage Sports table.  I always appreciate a dealer with clear signage explaining their pricing method, and Vintage Sports had a marker in their selection of 1969 Topps cards laying out that cards without a sleeve were $1 and cards with a sleeve were $2.  I had one "high number" in a sleeve, and that was a whopping $4. 

I found 28 commons needed before moving on to my third stop.  This was the 11th of 28 total cards bought from Vintage Sports, and the 47th of 91 cards for the set added overall on the day.  Unsleeved, this card cost less than $1 after a dealer discount - a surprisingly low price for a semi-star card from the set.

The Card / Orioles Team Set / Accuracy Index +5

This is Johnson's fifth appearance in a Topps flagship set, and he'd start to earn so-called Topps hero numbers (cards ending in 0s or 5s) in the 1970 Topps set.  The back of the card focuses on his success against the Dodgers in the 1966 World Series and his "skindiving" hobby.

Accuracy Index:  Johnson's card scores a solid +5.

1969 Season
Johnson spent his fourth season in a row as the Orioles' everyday second baseman.  From his SABR biography, written by Mark Armour: 

Johnson battled back woes in 1969, but still hit .280 with 34 doubles, his best offensive season to date.  He was selected to another All-Star Game, though he did not play, and won his first Gold Glove for his defensive play.  He did all this despite regular visits to the chiropractor and enough discomfort that he often could not sit down.  He hit just .231 in the playoff series with the Twins, and was just 1-for-16 in the World Series loss to the Mets.  "I'm still flabbergasted we lost," remembered Johnson decades later, "that destiny made all sorts of funky things happen.  Gusts of wind blowing balls back to their outfielders, [Ron] Swoboda’s (#585) diving catch, Al Weis hitting a home run; our winning just wasn’t meant to be."

Phillies Career - Johnson
Johnson joined the Phillies as a free agent in February 1977 after spending two seasons playing in Japan.  With Ted Sizemore (#552) and Larry Bowa as the regulars at second base and shortstop, Johnson was used in a utility role, appearing in 78 games overall with most of his time spent at first base.  Wearing uniform #15, he had a solid first year with the Phillies, batting .321 with eight home runs in his limited role.  He appeared in his final postseason game in 1977, starting at first base in Game 1 of the NLCS against the Dodgers and going 1 for 4 at the plate.  Johnson began the 1978 season on the bench again and slumped to a .191 average.  On August 6, 1978, the Phillies dealt him to the Cubs for pitcher Larry Anderson.  Overall, Johnson appeared in 122 games for the Phillies, batting .273 with 10 home runs and 50 RBIs.

#510 Rod Carew - Minnesota Twins

Rodney Cline Carew
Minnesota Twins
Second Base

Bats:  Left  Throws:  Right  Height:  6'0"  Weight:  170
Born:  October 1, 1945, Gatun, Panama
Signed:  Signed by the Minnesota Twins as an amateur free agent, June 24, 1964
Major League Teams:  Minnesota Twins 1967-78; California Angels 1979-85

Hall of Fame Induction:  1991

One of the greatest hitters of all time, Rod Carew played 19 years in the majors, making the American League All-Star team in an astonishing 18 consecutive seasons between 1967 and 1984.  Carew was the 1967 Rookie of the Year, and he'd win his first of seven batting titles in 1969.  He eclipsed 200 hits in a season four times, culminating with his 239 hit season in his career year of 1977.  During that MVP season, Carew batted .388 while leading the league in runs scored (128), hits, triples (16) and on-base percentage (.449).  He'd join the Angels in 1979 via free agency, solidifying his Hall of Fame career with seven more stellar seasons.  Carew retired following the 1985 seasons with a .328 batting average (currently 40th all-time), 3,053 hits (currently 28th), including 2,404 singles (currently ninth).  He had 353 career stolen bases.

He was a first ballot Hall of Famer in 1991.  His seven batting titles were second only to Ty Cobb, and in 2016, the American League batting title was officially renamed the Rod Carew American League batting title.  Carew's #29 was retired by the Twins in 1987 and by the Angels in 1986.  Carew served as the hitting coach for the Angels (1992-99) and Brewers (2000-01).

Building the Set / Card #594
September 21, 2025 from The Philly Show (America's Pastime)

On Sunday morning, September 21st, I made the hour-long drive to the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, Pennsylvania for the latest installment of the Philadelphia Sports Card & Memorabilia Show, known to its friends as The Philly Show.  The show has a legitimate official sponsor (eBay) and the advertisement for the event notes the show is in its 50th year.  I hadn't attended a baseball card show since the last Philly Show in December, and I was flying solo to this one as our oldest son is in his first month of college at Villanova.  I posted a full summary of the show over at The Phillies Room.

I made stops at six tables at the show, all yielding needed cards for our 1969 Topps set, and I left the show with just 16 more cards to go for my version of a complete set.  The first place I stopped was a table with well-organized and well-marked binders of commons and semi-stars with 20% Off notes across the front of each binder.  

I took my time and found 32 commons and semi-stars needed before asking to see the dealer's star cards from the set.  It turned out this first purchase was also my biggest, as I spent over half my allotted budget here, America's Pastime from Fair Lawn, New Jersey, before moving on to my second stop.  This was the 35th of 36 total cards bought from America's Pastime, and the 35th of 91 cards for set added overall on the day.  Carew was the third of four star cards I'd add from America's Pastime.

The Card / Twins Team Set / Accuracy Index +1

This is the exact picture used on Carew's 1968 Topps card, and the picture shows up again on his 1969 Topps Deckle Edge insert card.  The back of the card highlights his two All-Star Game appearances to date, and he'd go on to add 16 more.  The write-up touches on his early success as "one of the leading batters in the A.L."  Carew signed a reprint of this card for the 2018 Topps Heritage set.

Accuracy Index:  Carew's card drops to a +1 since collectors had already seen this photo.

Inserts:  Carew is included in the 35 card Topps Deckle Edge insert set.

1969 Season
Carew had already won Rookie of the Year honors and been a two-time All-Star, but 1969 was his first true superstar season.  Along with winning his first batting title, Carew played in 123 games, collecting 152 hits, including 30 doubles and eight home runs.  He had 19 stolen bases on the year, including seven steals of home.

Hall of Fame Induction:  1992

Bobby Floyd put in seven seasons in the majors as a back-up infielder and pinch-hitter, appearing in a career-high 61 games with the Royals in 1971.  Blocked by Mark Belanger (#299) in Baltimore and Freddie Patek (#219) in Kansas City, Floyd started sparingly while in the majors.  He spent the entire 1969 season on the Orioles roster, but did not see any action in that year's ALDS or World Series.  Dealt to the Royals in June 1970 for Moe Drabowsky (#508), Floyd was a key reserve for the team between 1970 and 1974.  His best season came in 1973 when he batted .333 in 51 games for the Royals.  In 214 big league games, Floyd batted .219 overall with 18 doubles and 26 RBIs.  Floyd would manage in the Mariners and Mets minor league systems following his retirement as a player until the early 2000s.  He served on the Mets' coaching staff in 2001 and 2004.

After a successful collegiate career at Oklahoma State University, and two successful seasons in the Dodgers' minor league system, Larry Burchart was selected by the Indians in the 1968 rule 5 draft.  He'd join Cleveland's bullpen for the 1969 season, appearing in 29 games and pitching to a 4.25 ERA in 42 1/3 innings pitched.  Burchart had his season, and likely his career, cut short following a violent collision at first base with the Red Sox' George Scott (#574).  Having torn muscles in his pitching shoulder, Burchart pitched for two more seasons in the minor leagues before retiring from baseball.

With his signature handle-bar mustache, Rollie Fingers authored a 17-season Hall of Fame career, winning three World Series rings with the Athletics and earning both American League MVP and Cy Young Award honors in 1981.  Fingers helped usher in the modern closer role, dominating at the back-end of the bullpen, and leading the league in saves in 1977 (35), 1978 (37) and the strike-shortened 1981 (28).  He was a seven-time All-Star, including four straight appearances with the Athletics between 1973 and 1976.  That run corresponded with the Athletics dynasty that won three straight World Championships between 1972 and 1974.  Fingers was the MVP of the 1974 series, after winning the first game and saving the final three wins.  He departed Oakland in 1976 as a free agent, and after four dominant seasons with the Padres, Fingers joined the Brewers for the final act of his career.

He helped pitch the Brewers to their first postseason berth in 1981, going 6-3 with a 1.04 ERA in 78 innings pitched.  Fingers retired following the 1985 season as the all-time saves leader with 341, the record until surpassed by Jeff Reardon in 1992.  He was 114-118 lifetime with a 2.90 ERA in 1,701 1/3 innings pitched, and his 709 career games finished still ranks fifth all-time.  Fingers was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1992, the second reliever in the Hall, after Hoyt Wilhelm (#565).  His #34 was retired by both the Athletics and the Brewers.

Building the Set / Card #543
December 15, 2024 from The Philly Show (Uncle Dick's Cards)
On Sunday, December 15th, Doug and I attended the latest Philly Show, spaciously spread out inside Hall A of the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, Pennsylvania.  I wrote a full show report over at The Phillies Room, including some thoughts on attending the show with our oldest son, who first graced the Philly Show floors back in 2012.

Having had success the prior two shows at Uncle Dick's Cards with his well-organized, neon common binders, I opted to pull up a chair once again at the friendly dealer's array of tables.  The aim was simple:  Clear out Uncle Dick's 1969 Topps commons, starting off where I had left off the year before with card #501 and going through the end of the set, card #664.  In less than 25 minutes, I completed my quest, and over the past seven months, I've composted a post for each of the 98 commons and semi-stars I pulled from the binder.

But I had one more card to purchase from Uncle Dick's Cards.  My Dad taught me one particular negotiation tactic at some of the earliest baseball card shows we attended together, held inside the Ocean City Music Pier in the early to mid-1980s.  I had already expressed interest in this Hall of Fame rookie card before diving into the last binder of commons.  After totaling the cards I had committed to purchase, I asked the dealer what kind of a deal he could give me on the Fingers card, seeing as I had just shown him I was an interested buyer.  The suggested price offered was lower than the sale price on the sticker, and I added this key card from the set to my day's haul.

The Card / Orioles Team Set / Indians Team Set / Athletics Team Set

Floyd Accuracy Index -3 / Burchart Accuracy Index +5 / Fingers Accuracy Index +5
No offense to Floyd or Burchart, but this card is rightfully known as the "Rollie Fingers rookie card," and I would have been hard pressed to name the other two players with Fingers before adding this card to our set.  Topps has reprinted the card a few times over the years, both with Floyd and Burchart and without.  They created a great "card that never was" in 2018 for Fingers to sign as part of the Topps Heritage release.

Accuracy Index:  Burchart and Fingers both score a +5, and Floyd loses points for the mystery jersey and lack of a hat.

1969 Season - Floyd
Floyd appeared in 39 games for the Orioles, batting .202 with four doubles.  He made 19 starts all season - 12 at shortstop, backing up Belanger, five at second base and two at third base.  His other appearances came as a late inning defensive replacement, and he made one pinch-hitting appearance all season, going 0 for 1.

1969 Season - Burchart
Burchart had to remain on the Indians' roster all season given they had picked him up in the rule 5 draft.  He appeared in five games for the Indians in April, before his collision with Scott during the game on April 18th.  Burchart would miss two months while recovering, and likely should have taken more time to heal.  He'd pitch fairly well upon his return though, and for the season Burchart was 0-2 with a 4.25 ERA.

1969 Season - Fingers
Following a September call-up in 1968, Fingers came up for good in 1969.  He began the season as a fifth starter for the Athletics, but found most of his work from the bullpen.  In 60 appearances, including eight starts, Fingers was 6-7 with a 3.71 ERA in 119 innings pitched.  No other reliever was used more frequently than him, and Fingers led the club with 12 saves.

Bats:  Both  Throws:  Right  Height:  5'11"  Weight:  192
Born:  April 14, 1941, Cincinnati, OH
Signed:  Signed by the Cincinnati Reds as an amateur free agent, July 8, 1960
Major League Teams:  Cincinnati Reds 1963-1978; Philadelphia Phillies 1979-1983; Montreal Expos 1984; Cincinnati Reds 1984-1986

World Series Appearances:  Cincinnati Reds 1970, 1972, 1975-1976; Philadelphia Phillies 1980, 1983
As a Manager:  Cincinnati Reds 1984-1989

Major League Baseball's all-time leader in games played (3,562), plate appearances (15,890), at-bats (14,053) and hits (4,256), Pete Rose was permanently banned from the game he loves in 1989 for his gambling activities.  Rose was a spark plug player from the start, winning the National League Rookie of the Year award in 1963.  He was a 17-time All-Star, the league's MVP in 1973 and a two-time Gold Glove winner.  Rose won the league's batting title three times (1968, 1969, 1973) and led the league in hits a staggering seven times.  A versatile player on defense, he helped lead the Reds to the World Series four times as his club won it all in back-to-back years in 1975 and 1976.  Rose spent stints as the team's regular second baseman, left fielder, right fielder and third baseman.  He was the World Series MVP in 1975, after hitting .370 in the seven game victory over the Red Sox.  Rose left the Reds via free agency following the 1978 season, signing with the Phillies and guiding that club to its first World Championship title in 1980.  He returned to the Reds in 1984 as their player-manager, and surpassed Ty Cobb as the game's all-time hits leader on September 11, 1985, with a single to left off the Padres' Eric Show.

Rose retired as a player following the 1986 season, and would continue to manage the Reds until his ban from baseball on August 24, 1989.  Despite numerous reinstatement efforts, his ban has not been lifted as of yet, resulting in his exile from baseball's Hall of Fame.  In the years that followed the ban, Rose's troubles mounted and he served five months in prison in 1990 for tax evasion charges.  He was selected as an outfielder on the MLB All-Century Team in 1999 and the Reds retired his #14 in 2016, after receiving permission to do so from the commissioner's office.  Rose owns a .303 lifetime average and he's ranked 6th on the all-time runs scored list with 2,165, and 2nd on the all-time doubles list with 746.  In recent years, he's been ubiquitous at baseball card shows across the country and my son Doug and I briefly met Charlie Hustle, The Hit King in 2015.

Building the Set / Card #271
September 23, 2023 from The Philly Show (Ed's Old Baseball Cards)
Given the massive haul of 193 cards acquired for our 1969 Topps set at the March Philly Show, I held off on adding more cards throughout the summer of 2023.  We weren't even going to go to the Philly Show last September, but our oldest son's baseball tournament was rained out, and we found ourselves with a free weekend.  I wrote about the show originally over at The Phillies Room.  

I added just 15 cards to our set build at this show, all from the same dealer, Ed's Old Baseball Cards out of the Buffalo area.  Technically, the cards I bought were from Ed's associate, Gary, who explained he was along for the ride and brought a bunch of his vintage cards for sale.  I picked four needed star cards, including this Rose, which was the most expensive of the bunch.  Gary gave us a nice discount on the purchase, so we went back after securing a few autographs and I picked 11 more commons and semi-stars from his modest selection of 1960s Topps cards for sale.  Posting for these 15 cards should take me a lot less longer than what it took to get through the box of cards brought home from the March 2023 Philly Show.

The Card / Reds Team Set / Accuracy Index +5

Rose is all over the 1969 Topps set and he appears on the front of three cards in the set - this base card, the National League Batting Leaders card (#2) and an All-Star card (#424).  He's also on the back of 10 different All-Star cards, forming a puzzle of the baseball superstar.  Growing up a Phillies fan, Rose was one of my earliest favorite players - see below.  It's cool to me that I now own a card like this, along with the card to be featured in the next post, after seeing pictures of this card in baseball card publications over the years and thinking I'd never have a card this "old" or this cool in my collection.

Accuracy Index:  Rose's card scores a solid +5.

Inserts:  Rose is included in the 35 card Topps Deckle Edge insert set and is one of 48 decals in the Topps Decals insert set.  He's one of 27 players to appear in both insert sets.

1969 Season
Rose was the opening day center fielder for the Reds.  In late June, he and Bobby Tolan (#448) would switch positions, with Rose going to right and Tolan moving to center.  Overall, Rose started 100 games in right and 56 games in center, on the way to his second straight batting title with a .348 average.  Rose collected 218 hits and led the league with 120 runs scored.  He was named to his fourth All-Star Game, placed fourth in MVP voting and won his first Gold Glove for his outfield defense.

Phillies Career
Rose was my first favorite Phillies player, and his 1979 Burger King Phillies card was the first baseball card I ever clearly remember seeing.  The Phillies won the Rose free agency lottery on December 5, 1978, signing him to a then-record four-year, $3.2 million contract.  With Mike Schmidt at third base, Rose moved to first base and he'd prove to be the final piece to the puzzle for the Phillies as the club advanced to and won the World Series in 1980.  He was an All-Star while in Philadelphia four times between 1979 and 1982, leading the league in doubles in 1980 with 42 and in hits in 1981 with 140.  Rose, now 42, helped the Phillies reach the World Series again in 1983, although he suffered through one of the worst seasons of his career.  Towards the end of the 1983 season, Rose was benched by manager Paul Owens in favor of giving Len Matuszek more playing time at first.  His last at-bat with the team came during Game 5 of the 1983 World Series.  Rose went 2 for 4 in that game, as the Orioles prevailed, 5-0, to give them the World Series title.  

Rose was released by the Phillies on October 19, 1983, and he'd somewhat surprisingly sign with the Expos.  In 745 games with the Phillies, Rose batted .291 with 826 hits.  He was set to be inducted into the Phillies Wall of Fame in 2017, but the club cancelled the induction a week before the ceremony when news came to light of Rose's sexual relationship with a minor during the 1970s.
