1972 Topps Bob Gibson (#130) - Card of the Day
(affiliate link)
Welcome to Day 29 of the 2025 Spring Training Baseball Card Challenge, wherein we marvel at the sartorial splendor of a player in a warm-up jacket.
Since it’s Sunday and since you might already be on the hook for reading the full weekly Wax Pack Gods newsletter post — and because I vowed to take it easy on your eyes on the weekend during this challenge — I’ll stop right here and let you bask in the glory of the great Bob Gibson.

This is an easy one for me: it's the coolest card of all time which is the 1986 Donruss Oil Can Boyd card: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61HoNj1M7DL._UF894,1000_QL80_.jpg
The only other card that comes closest is the 2020 Topps Andrew McCutchen SP card.
