Authentic Major League SIGNED
Game-Used LINEUP Cards (PSA)


Game-Used Lineup cards These are the official lineup cards SIGNED BY THE MANAGER & given to the home plate umpire before the game with the team's line-up & batting order !!! Making them even neater, often managers made lineup changes on these cards throughout the game. These official lineup cards were SIGNED BY THE MANAGER and presented to the home plate umpire before the game. They detailed the team's lineup and batting order. Managers often made lineup changes on these cards throughout the game, making them even more unique.

Collectors say "They are official documents of a particular game, so they are absolutely historically relevant. The manager, he was the general in the war. Imagine owning Eisenhower's list of who he wanted to go into battle, and then he signed it !!! Imagine what that would be worth?"

The first dugout lineup cards were seen around 1960. Along with lineup cards, most ended up in the trash after games, making them quite rare today. MLB saw the light and started marketing them directly in the 2000's.

Astronomical prices have been paid for cards from special games.
$165,010 for the Red Sox dugout lineup card from Game 4 of the 2004 World Series.
$138,000 in 2007 for 1st ever All-Star Game batting order cards.
$ 40,000 for batting order cards and the pen used to fill them out from Cal Ripken's 2,130th & 2,131st games.

Baseball card collecting terms (part B)

Bazooka Bazooka Bubble Gum put baseball cards on the back of their boxes from 1959 thru 1971. Complete boxes and panels can get extremely costly. Most kids back then could not afford complete boxes of bubble gum at one making Bazooka cards quite scarce. I actually don't recall ever obtaining a Bazooka card directly from a box as a kid. Do you ???

Black Sox Scandal Name given to the the most famous scandal in baseball history after the 1919 Chicago White Sox versus the Cincinatti Reds World Series when 8 White Sox players were accused of throwing the series. Details have remained somewhat unclear. The players were acquitted of criminal charges but 8 players still received a lifetime ban from professional baseball including the All-Time great "Shoeless" Joe Jackson.

Blank-Back a card in which nothing is printed on the back. These cards are usually not in packs and are either "PROOF ISSUES" or were removed from the factory in some way.

Blanket a term used for collectibles in the 1910's made of fabric .

Border is the part of the card that surrounds the photo or image.

Bowman was a card manufacturer in the 1940's and 1950's that was bought out by Topps. In 1989 Topps started issuing cards using the Bowman brand.
