Baseball Cards with bubbles

Tom Oates · 03-03-2026, 05:25 PM

I recently became aware of the 1996 Ultra Piazza checklist where he is blowing a bubble. The image obviously reminded me of the Griffey bubble card. Recently "TBTC Baseball" posted in the March pickup thread a pic of Chipper blowing a bubble. I saved off his image and a couple others from fleaBay. Who else is blowing bubbles on their cards?

Thanks!
Tom

Wasn't aware of the 2021 (1992) Javy Baez card, nabbed one of those on the cheap.

Another Chipper with bonus Mrs. Gergich on the back.

There is a Votto Topps SSP card as well where he is blowing a bubble.

This is a cool concept.

I like it when people come up with these niches in collecting that make it fun trying to chase cards that ordinarily no one else would think of chasing.

Like, I've read about this one collector that would collect refs that show up in basketball trading cards, which is odd, but it was cool that this was what the guy was chasing... refs in cards.

Anyways, here is Hall of Famer Dave Parker blowing a bubble gum:

I always love how Tyler Stephenson is always blowing bubbles, even while running the bases or fielding a pop up. I was so glad they put an image of it on his flagship tookie cards.

not a card, but the back of my book!

Glad to know I'm not the only one chasing bubble cards! I just sent about a hundred back to me from my COMC account.

I thought someone on TCDB would have a collection put together already for this.
Found:
2020 SC Mitch Garver
2020 SC Eugenio Suarez

Here we go, over 450 of them - https://www.tcdb.com/Tagged.cfm/tid/...?Type=Baseball

Wow, someone put a lot of time and effort into that one. The 1996 CC Al Martin is hilarious. It looks like the dude is caught in a pickle and is still blowing a bubble.

I collect them casually. Haven't put any all together on a page though could probably fill 2 pages by now. Some scanned, most not

A favorite

Big League was good for these cards

Of Active Players I probably have the most Bubble Cards for Salvador Perez, I think about 8 right now

Johnny Cueto had several

have 1 Adam Jones (sticker) but I think there are a few more

The Tyler Stephenson RC is a great Bubble Gum, In Action card

so is this one
