Cardboard Fenway - #100. 2007 UD First Edition David Ortiz

Well, this rounds out The Baseball Card Blog's "Cardboard Fenway" celebratory, 100-posts-in-24-hours blog-a-thon. I hope you've enjoyed scrolling through it as much as I did putting it together. Here's to another hundred years at Fenway! (But maybe could we get some bigger seats? With legroom for a normal-sized adult?)

Cardboard Fenway - #99. 2003 Bowman Heritage Pedro Martinez

An awesome card for the most awesome pitcher of his generation. Also, I think it's fair to say that had it been produced, 1956 Bowman would've been a great-looking set.

Cardboard Fenway - #98. 1960 Topps Pumpsie Green (RC)

Remember this: The Boston Red Sox were one of the last teams to integrate. Who do we have to thank for this? Lots of guys, most notably Pinky Higgins.

Cardboard Fenway - #97. 2006 Topps Heritage Keith Foulke

The photos in this set are bad across the board; way too fuzzy for high-quality photography. Here's Keith in his home whites. Not sure if it's at Fenway or in Fort Myers, Florida.

Cardboard Fenway - #96. 1935 Goudey 4-in-1 Red Sox (Cronin/Bishop/Reynolds/Cissell)

I happen to be a very large fan of this set, and this card is a great, early example of team name and uniforms not matching. Max Bishop is shown here on the Philly A's. I mean, they colored the image from a black and white photo, but what was stopping the artist from changing the uniform to the Red Sox?

Cardboard Fenway - #95. 1938 Goudey Heads Up Bobby Doerr (Dover reprint)

Aren't Dover reprints just the best?

Cardboard Fenway - #93. 2007 UD Goudey Curt Schilling

Back in 1988, the Red Sox traded Curt Schilling and Brady Anderson to the Orioles for Mike Boddicker. I thought it was a good trade at the time, and I still sort of stick by that sentiment. As for this card, I like to believe that the chimney puffing smoke in the background is at one of Boston's many now-defunct chocolate factories.

Cardboard Fenway - #94. 2003 Topps Heritage Nomar Garciaparra (logo variation)

Man, Nomar was awesome. Remember when the debate was who was the better shortstop, Jeter, A-Rod, or Nomar? 'Tis a shame that his career with the Sox ended like it did.

Cardboard Fenway - #92. 1984 Topps Gary Allenson

For every Dwight Evans, Jim Rice, Wade Boggs, and Pedro Martinez, the Red Sox rosters were chock-a-block with guys like Gary Allenson, Al Nipper, Al Zarilla, Milt Bolling, and Joe Lahoud.

Cardboard Fenway - #91. 1960 Topps Carl Yastrzemski (RC) 1999 Fenway All-Star Game Edition

I got free tickets to Fan Fest back in the summer of 1999, so I went, collected my wrappers, and traded in for this super-cool foil-stamped mega-retro hyphen-hyphen reprint of everybody's favorite second baseman.

Cardboard Fenway - #90. 2011 Topps Mike Lowell

It looks like Mike Lowell holds his breath until he makes contact with the ball. Interesting...

Cardboard Fenway - #89. 1974 Topps Luis Tiant

The 9 Coolest Red Sox Players Ever
1. Luis Tiant
2. Carl Yastrzemski
3. Babe Ruth
4. Ted Williams
5. Carlton Fisk
6. Jim Rice
7. Pedro Martinez
8. David Ortiz
9. Dwight Evans

Cardboard Fenway - #88. 1959 Topps Marty Keough

Here's Marty stealing a glance out to the field, like having his picture taken for his baseball card is some kind of torture. Notice the people milling around Fenway behind him.

Cardboard Fenway - #87. 1984 Fleer Rich Gedman

Look at that bored Fenway crowd! The Sox must've been losing, which is not hard to imagine for the 1983 Red Sox.

Cardboard Fenway - #72. 1981 Fleer "400 Home Run Club" Carl Yastrzemski

Great shot of the visitor's dugout behind Yaz here.

Cardboard Fenway - #71. 2007 Topps Red Sox Team Card

I love it when players don't show up for the team photo, because it means floating deity heads for the team card. Here's the Olde Towne Team posed in front of the scoreboard on the Green Monster.

Cardboard Fenway - #84. 1991 Topps Archives "1953: The Ultimate Series" Jimmy Piersall

This is one of the "Cards That Never Were" from the end of the Archives 1953 set. I wish there was a film of Piersall running backwards around the bases.

Cardboard Fenway - #85. 1955 Bowman Frank Sullivan

Can anyone identify this ballpark? The insanely high wall—that's not at Fenway—leaves me baffled. And yes, this is the second card where the player is in his away uniform.

Cardboard Fenway - #80. 1985 Fleer Jim Rice

Here's Jim Ed tracking a fly in the outfield at Fenway.

Cardboard Fenway - #81. 2008 Topps Heritage Dustin Pedroia

Dustin looks so sedate here: no eye-wagging, no gaping mouth. And where was this photo taken? All of the Red Sox players in this set look like they were thrown up against a wall in the bowels of Fenway Park.
