2018 Topps Series 1 Baseball - The Rest of the Dodgers Insert Cards

Here is a last final look at the various Dodgers' insert cards that can be found in packs of 2018 Topps Series 1. Featured below are the "Legends in the Making", Cut Signatures, "In The Name" Relics, All-Star Medallions, MLB Awards, Opening Day, Spring Training Patches, Players Weekend, Home Run Challenge and original "1 of 1" Sketch cards.

BTW, all Bellinger autographed cards come as a redemption. Also, I've included the three known Dodgers' original "Sketch" cards, and will try to periodically updated this post should any more turn up. On another note, the Cody Belling original "Sketch" looks more like Kiké Hernández than Cody -- just my opinion.

Here's a look at Dodger veteran Pee Wee Reese on Camera Day at the LA Coliseum in April 1959 that is currently available at RMY Auction (auction link).

As nice as the above press photo is I think the photos being taken by those fans would be even cooler to see.

Below are more links to check out:

• This Day in Dodgers History: In 1964 a Hall of Fame Special Veterans Committee elected three former Dodgers' into the Hall of Fame: Burleigh Grimes, Heinie Manush and John Montgomery Ward. Also joining them in the Hall are Red Faber, Tim Keefe and Miller Huggins.

Dodgers Gave Out GIF Cards at FanFest

I knew I would be missing out on these; especially considering how crowded it was.

First of all, I promise I'll have a post up featuring my pics from the 2018 FanFest at Dodger Stadium soon. In the meantime, check out some very limited GIF cards handed out by the Dodgers during the event.

From what I understand, the Dodgers announced, through their twitter, various GIF card freebies that were given out at a specific time and location during FanFest. They were limited to only the first 100 fans, so these might prove to be one of the more scarce memorabilia items given out by the team. Furthermore, I had been told that four different cards would be given away, but I could only find three online. So, if you happen to know who the fourth card is please let me know.

Here's something historical.

Featured above is an original Sporting News press photo, dated August 26, 1939, featuring an on-camera interview between Dodgers broadcaster Red Barber and Dodger rookie skipper Leo Durocher that is currently on auction at RMY Auction (auction link).

You might be wondering, "what's so important about this pic? After all, we see this scene play out multiple times a day on local sports television."

Well, this game, between the Dodgers and Reds at Ebbets Field, happens to be the very first Baseball game ever broadcast on television. So, the scene you see above is a first for everyone in the photo.

Below are more links to check out:

• This Day in Dodgers History: In 1919 the Dodgers trade Jake Daubert to the Reds for outfielder Tommy Griffith. In 1959 the ever-popular Brooklyn Dodgers outfielder Zach Wheat is unanimously elected to the Hall of Fame by the Veterans Committee. In 1976 East Lansing police arrest Dodgers reliever Mike Marshall for disobeying the orders set by the Michigan State University police prohibiting him from taking batting practice. MSU feared he would hit balls too far and injure students at an adjacent tennis court. Marshall protests that it is against his rights as an MSU instructor and files a lawsuit against the school.
