Yes, it's me, Bunt Wax Era, from down the 3rd base line.

I mostly post about cards depicting players bunting from my collection, but also cards depicting baseball players signing autographs. And vintage tennis cards.

Feel free to say hi and give me a follow.

Here's the other Sosa ChiSox bunting card I was thinking of. Love this one.

I have a few Sosa bunting cards and he's always bunting for Chicago, but not always for the White Sox.

I don't generally love cards from non-playing years, but this is a fun, sharp card.

Ty Cobb 2016 Topps Update - 3000 Hits Club

I've never been a huge fan of cards that aren't from playing days, but, hey, it's Ty Cobb, with a pose that, unless I was told was a bunt, might otherwise have evaded my buntdar.

I do love that 3000 hits is illustrated with a bunt, though.
