PIE TRAYNOR CARDS IN THE BINDER
Base, parallels, numbered, autos: every Pie Traynor card Dad’s willing to part with.
A 2026 Prizm of someone who retired in 1937 is the cardboard equivalent of casting a superhero movie nine decades after the comic debut. The Prizms Ice parallel gives Traynor's ancient career the chrome treatment it never asked for, freezing a Hall of Famer in foil who played when radio was cutting-edge technology. It's nostalgia wrapped in modern manufacturing excess.
ABOUT PIE TRAYNOR
Harold Joseph 'Pie' Traynor played his entire career between 1920 and 1937 for the Pittsburgh Pirates, establishing himself as one of the finest third basemen of baseball's early era and a cornerstone of the Pittsburgh Pirates for 17 seasons. He had a .320 batting average, 2,416 hits, 58 home runs, 1,273 RBIs and 1,183 runs scored. In the 1925 World Series, he hit .346 including a home run off future Hall of Fame pitcher Walter Johnson as the Pirates defeated the Washington Senators in a seven-game series. From 1923 until injuries started to take their toll around 1929, Traynor probably was the best defensive third baseman in baseball.
Traynor was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1948, becoming the initial third baseman elected by the Baseball Writers' Association of America. The collection includes a 2026 Prizm card showing Traynor in his Pirates uniform, part of the premium Prizms Ice parallel finish. This modern tribute reflects enduring interest in early baseball legends decades after their playing careers ended.
