Fifty years ago, the United Nations designated March 8th as International Women's Day to recognize women's economic, political, and social achievements.
Let's celebrate it with one of my recent set builds: 2024 Topps Women in Baseball.
Back in October I pulled the Alyssa Nakken from a Target Super Box and two days later I grabbed the other four on COMC for a combined total of $2.86.

Rachel was hired by the Chicago Cubs in 2019 as their minor league hitting coordinator. Six years later, she's still with them. This past January, she was promoted and became the Triple-A Iowa hitting coach.
Kudos to Topps for honoring the women in baseball. From a personal standpoint, my mom played a huge role in my love for baseball. She would play catch with me on our front lawn and was the team mom at least twice during my Little League years. I doubt I would be as big a fan of baseball without her support of the sport.
Hopefully this will be an annual insert in their Series 2 packs, because I'd much rather pull one of these inserts than another Stars of the MLB cards that have been flooding our hobby for a few years now.
What about you? Women in Baseball or Stars of the MLB? Which do you prefer? Leave your thoughts down below.
Happy Saturday and sayonara!
Amen to that. I put that set in my "pretty ladies" binder even though they may not actually "fit" with the rest of the book, but dammit I wanted too, lol.
ReplyDeleteStill haven't added any of these but keep meaning to.
ReplyDeleteEleanor Engle as well Effa Manley were pioneers in there involvement in baseball in my opinion
ReplyDeleteAs well Jackie Autry Janet Yawkey & Joan Paxson
ReplyDeleteError on my last comment should be Payson not Paxson
ReplyDeleteGreat insert set! A Kim Ng card would have been nice to see in this set, too.
ReplyDeletejohhnys trading spot - lol. i hear ya. maybe create a separate binder for female athletes. although i'm guessing some of those pretty ladies are athletes too
ReplyDeletenight owl - good news... they're cheaper now than they were when i purchased them
poison75 - i'll have to look these ladies up and see if they have any cards. thank you for your list
