For folks anywhere near Cincinnati tomorrow night. www.mlb.com/reds/tickets...

The NFL should figure out how to give us a DET-BAL rematch every week, including playoffs and Super Bowl. And then the winner can play Philly at the very end.

A fun look at the Bambino’s earliest Topps cards, one of which kids genuinely salivated over. #CardSky

The headline is a bit alarmist, but here are four fun facts about the new “1st Bowman” card of Shoeless Joe Jackson. Hat tip to @zinnbeck.bsky.social on the last one. #CardSky

Happy first day of autumn from the 1923 W515-1 strip card set, one of the Hobby's best when it comes to fall colors.

Small correction. This is the correct Marlene Dietrich photo.

For my #SABR friends: some friends of mine are really die-hard Tigers fans and are panicking. Anybody know of some near-collapses where the team held on to win the pennant? We all know about teams like the 64 Phillies who blew it-I'm looking for some who held on. @heavyjstudios.bsky.social

THIS THURSDAY ON TGS: Lou Moore @profloumoore.bsky.social tells me the story of America’s first celebrity athlete - and the color line he drew once he made it to the top.

Quick PSA to combat Facebook AI disinformation: FB has a “Friends Only” feed that (for now) eliminates all ads, AI content, etc. Your entire feed is just posts from friends. A downside is you don’t see content from Groups/Pages you DO want, but at this point it’s worth it.

1988 Topps Ep. 85 - Shawon Dunston (#695/171) by @1988toppspodcast.bsky.social #cardsky

Happy birthday to my Dad, who would have turned 83 years old today. He was the original Dodger fan of the family, lifelong Longhorn, and co-founder of the Dumas, TX branch of the Steve Bilko Fan Club who talked about the greatness of Sandy Koufax for decades. Miss ya, Pop.

Before there was the 1971 Topps baseball design, there was “1970 Topps Flags of the World - Dictionary Cards.”

You maybe knew the 1972 Topps design was influenced by the David Edward Byrd poster for Follies, but did you know Byrd’s poster was inspired by this photo of Marlene Dietrich from Shanghai Express (1932)?

If the season ended today… ✌️

Gonna take a lot of ☕️ to stay up for this one. Spartans battle Troy in a grudge match 3300 years on the making, and they put it on at 10 PM CT?! ✌️ 🏈 🥱

If you know anyone who collected football cards in Nebraska in 1989 (or just downed tons of #PizzaHut), I could use some help. #CardSky #GoBigRed 1939bruins.wordpress.com/2025/09/19/h...

Fun night seeing @thebaseballproject.bsky.social. As much as I enjoyed Ted F’n Williams, the highlight might have been the two DEEP Neil Young cuts they played as their own opening act, the Minus 5.

These are 4 of the 8 spectacular jumbo baseball cards created in conjunction with our 10/26 event at @yogiberramuseum.bsky.social and featuring the artwork of Dick Perez. Order your set here: thediamondkingmovie.com/shop. What event, you ask? tinyurl.com/TheDiamondKingOctober2025 #CardSky

“Sir, can I interest you in fractional ownership of a Kenny Washington card?” #IYKYK

This will always be the craziest thing to me about the Hobby. Paid $60 for the card on the left. A guy is asking $10,750 for the card on the right. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Who am I? #BaseballCards #CardSky #Watercolor Like the daily 85s? You can now leave me a tip on my big cartel page. mightylark.bigcartel.com/product/leav....

OK, since there are no stripes at the end of the catcher's sleeve, matched with the gold stripe on the bottom of the pants, I think this has to be the 1969 Padres, which means that is likely Chris Cannizaro in Willie Crawford's rookie season.

Looking for some info/help on this 1989 set commemorating 100 years of #Nebraska football. Cards came with three different backs. “Go Big Red!” was by far the most common, but there are also two different Pizza Hut backs. Anyone know the story on these? Ad in next post may help.

What fun it was celebrating that achievement with you!

Robert Redford, RIP (1936-2025). 😢 Raise your hand if you’re watching “The Natural” tonight. For a fun connection between his most famous baseball character and a T205 legend, here is a great piece by @johnthorn.bsky.social. ourgame.mlblogs.com/roy-hobbs-an...

Am proud to have commemorated the feat for the team with this sparkly 5000-piece glitter mosaic that now hangs at PNC Park. ✨ ⚾️ 🏴‍☠️

I still have a ton of copies if you or your kids would like to make an Art Card for me. I will send you a card + return stamp + goodies to keep and you send back the Gant when you get done. Let me know if interested. #NoRulesJustArt

I went with two very predictable choices and three a little more under the radar. #CardSky

Hey fans of Japanese MLB players! Or Yankees fans! Collection of Masahiro Tanaka Cards, mostly Rookies. Claim below!

Tough crowd at Purdue yesterday most definitely exposed me as a Johnny-come-lately to Trojan football. “USC sucks! Who’s your favorite player, Caleb Williams?” “Ja’Kobi Lane!” “C’mon. Besides current guys.” [Unable to think of any USC guys from 1940-2024…] “Grenny Lansdell?!”

Today's #MiLBCoD is Pacific 1990 St. Lucie Legends Jim Nettles. World's second most famous bat knob error. Sundays will feature Senior Professional Baseball Association cards. Tell me your favorite story about the player, team, ballpark, etc. Especially if it SPBA. RPs are appreciated.

So much fun taking a road trip to West Lafayette yesterday. Never imagined I’d see a 360-pound defensive tackle take it 70 yards for a TD. Jamaal Jarrett with some deceptive speed!

I need only 4 more cards to finish the ‘84 Fleer set. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Need: 236 - Luis Pujols 258 - Dave Parker 640 - Bench/Yaz 642 - Steve Carlton

Claim up to 3 of the ‘82 Topps.

This was one helluva giveaway! 💥

Won one you don’t see often. 1935 Diamond Matchbook of Cornhusker legend Ray Richards, who at the time was a tackle for the Bears and hotel manager in Detroit. In addition to other NCAA and NFL coaching stints, Richards was line coach at UCLA when Jackie Robinson played there.

Happy 95th birthday to the late Charlie DiGiovanna. “The Brow” was probably the most famous bat boy in baseball history, particularly renowned for his ability to forge player names. He worked for the Dodgers throughout the 1940s and 50s, even following the team to LA.

If you don't mind me piggybacking off your fine work...

Here’s what I came up with. Played it pretty safe. www.si.com/collectibles...

Hey #CardSky lemme know your favorite Michael Jordan BASEBALL card! You’ll see my five just as soon as the article posts.

Mail days from @heavyjstudios.bsky.social are always the best.

In case you're wondering what a complete set of 1937 UCLA football programs from the school's 2-6-1 season looks like, I've got you covered! Finally landed the tough Washington program with today's #MailDay.

Not bad thru first 52 games. If he can get even better over his next 20 starts he has a chance to match Doc Gooden’s 1.91 ERA in first 72.

Tix and hotel secured! Excited to see Ja’Kobi Lane in action this weekend. #FightOn

Only modern rainbow that i have really attempted....

Still on the table... #CardSky

Brutal finish for Ravens, but I wouldn’t write off their season just yet. Bills are DEFINITELY gonna be dangerous.

Whoever said Baltimore was dangerous may have been onto something!

Both these guys with wins today!
