Thank you @markarmour04.bsky.social for the incredible addition to my 🔨 collection! I don’t think I realized how big these posters were!

When you list something free on Facebook Marketplace. Is this still available? Yes. Can I come pick it up today? Yes. What time is good for you? [4 days pass] What’s your address? What time is good for you? [2 days pass] Is this still available?

#MailDay Back in 1983 I sent these cards to every living player in the set. About 20 came back, Gehringer being one. Later that year my mom threw them all away. Won’t rebuild the whole collection but I’m happy to add this Mechanical Man and his A+ sig.

Who wants a mostly KC Royals mix of Kirk Gibson cards? One claim takes all 9.

Here’s a new series. The first installment focuses on two all-time great 1980s sets. #CardSky

These were given to me but I do my best to avoid giving out controversial players of any sport to prevent any potential issues with parents. Choose any or all & I’d be happy to send them to someone who’d enjoy them. I’m looking for Atlanta Braves & Univ of Alabama players in college or pro gear.

New here. I've created over 20,000 custom art cards over the last ten years, and I look forward to sharing some with the community. Here are two of Tarik Skubal and Paul Skenes. Ray ✌️

Thank you for @heavyjstudios.bsky.social for the Doc Gooden cards and to @metsuniverse.bsky.social for the Mets lot! Some great cards for the pc. And thanks to @ngtcollectibles.bsky.social for the weekly Sunday baseball card giveaway. Both arrived this week!

I’ve never heard of this group, but the Center for Negro League Baseball Research has a ton of free long form pdf profiles of NL Players and Pioneers, etc. You might like it check it out. www.cnlbr.org

Billy Ripken. Finished drawing. #Drawing #BaseballCards #Orioles

After careful deliberation my picks are in. #CardSky www.si.com/collectibles...

Opened (and didn’t open) some 1979 Burger King Yankees and 2025 Topps with @splitseason1981.bsky.social @ckamka.bsky.social @billpearch.bsky.social and @blueskylessrich.bsky.social.

Hey, so. The world is awful, etc. And because of that, I'd like to ask a favor: Please spend a few minutes between now and New Years sharing the work you were most proud of this year. People might have missed it, but also, it's nice to see people feel good about the work they do

A nice win for the minimum bid. A player I collect as part of my Texas League Barrier Breakers collection. Charlie integrated the San Antonio Missions in 1953. #CookieRookie 🍪

Baseball 2025: During March I shared a story that grew out of a full SABR bio. Here’s the @ibwaa.bsky.social story of when the Chicago White Sox and New York Giants played an exhibition game in Dublin, but hardly anyone attended. Link is in the comments. ⚾️

Plenty of baseball cards in this short documentary on the Atlanta History Center’s recent Hank Aaron exhibit.

There’s some genuinely good hobby writing right now. I pulled together a bunch of it in today’s newsletter. If you’re sitting on ideas, this is your nudge to start publishing. And if you already are, drop a link below. postwarcards.substack.com/p/the-post-w...

How’s this for a “how it started, how it’s going” pair? The first OPC baseball set was in 1937, its key card a Joe from Martinez by way of San Francisco. The last OPC baseball card (2009 #600) was Joe Martinez of San Francisco.

Time for Topps to lean in to all the Yastrzemski misspellings! #CardSky

Added some great cards this year. In keeping with tradition here is my 2025 Year in Review. #CardSky

My first 1936 Goudey. As the game back tells you, this guy could BALL OUT! Also funny that the Ball was a missed call by the ump.

These are super fun. Would love to see ALL chapters get involved.

Here’s your chance to add the elusive 1991 Pacific Prototype before @prewarcards.bsky.social decides he needs doubles! #CardSky www.si.com/collectibles...

What a thrill to see my first piece published in @deadspin.bsky.social. Okay, so admittedly they put a different person's name in the byline and credited my photo to Shutterstock, but hey! So yeah, not really a thrill. More like WTF. But still... deadspin.com/these-5-base...

In case you missed it, this fantastic SABR session is now online! #CardSky youtu.be/TnHfC72Z1v8

We're also a couple hours from my @sabrbbcards.bsky.social session with T202 book author Phil Rosenzweig. Ping me for the invite link if you'd like to attend.

Thanks @brubaker.bsky.social for the Orel mother lode. Took me from 99th to 78th on TCDB with all those missing period and factory border variations!

Starting a look at some of the Hammer’s toughest cards. #CardSky www.si.com/collectibles...

#MailDay! Signed 1976 Topps Rennie Stennett Record Breaker card, my favorite from the 1976 set.

Looking forward to seeing many of you tomorrow for my Hubbell show-and-tell. Whether you love the Giants screw-baller or just want to support a giant screw-ball, I hope to see you there!

#MailDay - Four of the last six cards I need for my 1939 Dodgers set, plus a very cool vintage Chicago Daily News advertising card from @prewarcards.bsky.social.

Guessing there are at least 10K fans still at this very moment muttering to themselves some version of "Jeff Effing Kent. What the eff happened?" I already know this will be the voice keeping me up tonight and possibly haunting my entire week.

🙏

Started a new series for Collectibles on SI. No worries if your least favorite card didn’t make the cut. Good chance it makes the sequel! #CardSky www.si.com/collectibles...

Have been tracking sales of this card for a while. Something really weird is going on. #CardSky

Warming up for some commission work with this fella. How many members of #MetsSky remember this joint? #BaseballCards #Watercolor #LGM

These are fantastic.

I told my boss I invest in alternative assets. He thinks I’m into crypto...my portfolio is 87% Bowman Chrome pitchers.

Any interest in “stocking stuffer” of 100 Topps cards (all diff.) from 1978-80? Many available. Some stars. I just need $7 to cover box and postage. I pick cards (too much work otherwise, sorry) though I will listen to “my son loves the Yankees”. (Someone sent me huge box 20 years ago.) DM me.

No surprises here. My most-used words in 2025 were: 1. "card" (279×) 2. "cards" (233×) 3. "topps" (127×) 4. "cardsky" (103×) 5. "baseball" (101×) See which words you used the most here: anisota.net/harvest

I'm often asked how so many trade cards from pre-1900 can exist. This one offering medicine explicitly says on the back that more than FIVE MILLION of their cards alone were printed. Millions of cards have been discarded but that helps explain how so many have survived. #Cardsky

Happy December! Post your top pickup(s) of 2025.
