2023-2026 San Francisco Giants Fan Fest photo cards

     It has been a few years, but the Giants have produced a new series of black & white photo cards for their yearly Fan Fest events.  This design showed up in 2023 and continued through 2025.  Looks like these may be standard 2.5" x 3.5", rather than the taller format from previous years.  Still blank backed, they feature a fairly modern design with a hint of the previous years elements.

So far, I've only spotted the following:

Hayden Birdsong
Alex Cobb
Michael Conforto
Camilo Doval
Thairo Estrada
Jordan Hicks
Luke Jackson
Bryce Johnson
J.P. Martinez
Randy Rodriguez
Sergio Romo
Landen Roupp
Taira Uematsu CO
David Villar
Tony Vitello
Ryan Walker
Matt Williams

2016-17 & 2018, 2019 San Francisco Giants Fan Fest photo cards

(Updates at the bottom)

     eBay saved search comes through again!  It appears that the Giants updated their Fan Fest photo card design a tad for the 2018 event, and I just picked up a lot of cards on eBay that included a previously unknown Hensley Meulens card.

     In this new design, the team logo is now in a square that fits within the edges of the name and team bars, the player name is slightly wider, and the team name and position are now italicized.

2018 design

For comparison, below is the design that was used from 2013-2015.

I'll update the list as I find more.

--UPDATE-- 

     Slight update here, as I just discovered that there was another design change that I missed.  Between the 2013 design and the 2018 design, there was subtle change that I am now calling 2016-2017.  Swiped from an eBay listing, the Ehire Adrianza features the newly discovered design, and the Jeremy Affeldt the earlier design.  The two differences being on the 2016-17 design the team/position banner features the larger, italicized text, and the banner does not extend beyond the end of the logo circle.

For this 2016-17 design, I have identified the following players, so far:

Ehire Adrianza

Ray Black

Matt Cain

Brandon Crawford

Matt Duffy

Gorkys Hernandez

Chris Heston

Nick Hundley

Steven Okert

Josh Osich

Jarrett Parker

Hunter Pence

Buster Posey (crouching)

Buster Posey (throwing)

Jeff Samardzija

Chris Stratton

Albert Suarez

Kelby Tomlinson

Mac Williamson

Ron Wotus

--UPDATE-- 

Another design has surfaces for the 2019 Fan Fest cards.  So far, this Dereck Rodriguez is the only card I have seen on eBay:

--UPDATE 3/10/2024--

A recent eBay listing has added several more cards to all of these sets, including more from 2019, so that now stands at:

Craig Albernaz

Andrew Bailey CO

Brian Bannster CO

Tyler Beede

Kai Correa CO

Jaylin Davis

Alex Dickerson

Mauricio Dubon

Mark Hallberg CO

Dustin Lind

Andoan Richardson CO

Dereck Rodriguez
Austin Slater

More Team Issue Photo Card Goodness

     As I haven't really posted about these in while, I thought it was time to catch up with what the various MLB teams have been providing at the autograph lines at their annual fan fest events and in fan packs.  The lists here will be works in progress as I am able to find more to add.

Houston Astros

2015
     For 2015, the Astros produced a very nice, clean design for their photo cards featuring a mix of current and former players.  Some cards have uniform numbers, some don't.  The back is mostly black with a phone number to call for Astros game tickets.
