2016 Topps Archives Snapshots - All the Dodgers Cards

Last week saw the release of Topps newest online exclusive Baseball card set.  It is a new brand called 2016 Archives Snapshot and it features candid images from Topps own vault of current and former ballplayers in an simple card design.  Go here to see a complete checklist.

There are only 50 card in the base set and the autograph insert set consist of 36 cards.  The only parallel that exist for the base set are B&W versions.  The autographed cards have two different parallels available (a B&W and a negative version).  A box of cards includes a single pack of twelve cards (ten base, one B&W parallel and an autographed card) for the price of $24.99 directly from Topps website.  Go here to order, while supplies last.  Check out the Dodgers cards below.

UPDATE:  I thought I should add that the design is very reminiscent of the 1960 to 1962 Bell Brand potato chip regional Dodger set.  To see what I mean go here.

Blog Kiosk: 9/7/2016 - Dodgers Links - AJ Ellis, De Leon, Ethier and the Vin Scully Coin

ICYMI:  The Dodgers recently added a new game giveaway to their schedule, and it commemorates the career of retiring legend Vin Scully.  It will be given out on Saturday, September 24th against the Colorado Rockies, and that is the second to last home game of the regular season.  Check out what it looks like in the graphic above, via @Dodgers on twitter. 

As for the game, the Dodgers won their fourth game in row by taking advantage of Diamondback starting pitcher Shelby Miller, 5-2.  They recorded eleven hits and scored five runs in the 4.1 innings he pitched.  Per Jack Baer and Steve Gilbert at MLB.com:

"We put some at-bats together and got a lot of hits out there, got a lot of baserunners," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. "I thought it was really good. Jumped on Miller early, stressed him early. It was just a well-played baseball game."

• This Day in Dodger History:  In 1903 the Brooklyn Superbas (Dodgers) and the NY Giants play a two-stadium, same-day doubleheader.  The first game began at 10:30 AM at Washington Park (Giants won, 6-4), and the second game got underway later that afternoon (Brooklyn won, 3-0).  In 1962 Maury Wills stole four bases against the Pirates to break the modern National League record for stolen bases at 82.  In 2001 Shawn Green broke the Dodger record for home runs in a season at 44.
