A quick trip through time

It's late, time for just a quick blog post. How about a fun trip through time, via a Diamond Jesters Time Travel Trade?

Starting at the top in the 1950s. A simpler time, though not nearly as simple as they're often made out to be. Still, it was a time when, if the artist in charge of yellowing out the background of Al Walker's card also yellowed out a chunk of Walker's torso and arm, you simply gave up and moved on.

On to the oddball '80s, when baseball cards became much more than just a convenience store staple. You had major league teams giving out cards of their own, like the Minnesota Twins did with this Tom Brunansky card. And the minor leagues had cards that looked a little humbler than their big league counterparts.

 Finally on to the shiny modern 2020s. 1950s and even 1980s kids might have thought there would be flying cars and lunar cities by now, and would be disappointed, but I imagine if they would have guessed what a futuristic baseball card would look like, it might well be this.
