Cards That Never Were is a recurring series in which I create virtual trading cards for players missed in various sets over the years. It is a concept I borrowed from far too many to list, but I appreciate all of their efforts.
Once again, Jeff of the Custom Baseball Cards Facebook group beat me to a card creation. Jeff is a key contributor to that group, which is not only baseball cards, despite its name. Not needing to duplicate his efforts, when he did it so well already, I simply highlight Jeff's card instead of making my own.
Catcher Ricky Seilheimer was selected by the Chicago White Sox in the 1st round (19th pick) of the 1979 amateur draft. He made his MLB debut the next season, appearing in 21 games. He returned to the minors, where he stayed until retiring after the 1986 season. For his career, Seilheimer had 11 hits for a .212 average with one HR, three RBIs and four runs scored.
Topps did not give Seilheimer any cards, but Jeff did and it is a beauty. Seeing no need to create another, when Jeff did a great one, I simply highlight his work.
