Default Topps Scavenger Hunt

Just thought I'd drop an idea...if no one cares, no biggie. I personally love reasons to look through my cards, and I noticed in one of my 50's there was a shot of a player wearing a batting helmet. Got to thinking...I wonder what card was the first to bear a helmet considering they were just coming of age? So...here is a list, I say we find the "first" of the following in Topps cards. If something is in the same year, we can take the earlier number -


1. First Topps card showing a player in sun glasses
2. First Topps card showing a player using batting gloves
3. First Topps card showing a player wearing a batting helmet
4. First Topps card with a picture during an actual game
5. First Topps card picturing another player (in the background) near player
6. First Topps card picturing a player in a dugout
7. First Topps card showing a player with a wad of tobacco in
8. First Topps card pictured without a hat on
9. First Topps card with the ball in the air
10. First Topps card to show a microphone
11. First Topps card to picture and identify two players from different teams
12. First Topps card to picture an actual base or home plate



Ok...when someone post a scan, the goal with be to outdo them to identify the first of's...off to look through my cards! I hope this isn't too nerdy... Feel free to add any ideas to look for more cards..

8. Connie Mack All-Stars of Connie Mack himself

4., 5. both are represented by the 1948 Topps Magic cards of the Cleveland Indians (a few different in the set)

In my mind I always remember Whitey wearing sunglasses on his '57 card.

And here it is...

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
