Hey @adarowski.bsky.social , over on Mastodon we’re (@beisbolcards.bsky.social ) noticing that Gary Sheffield is on the grid with a Dodger cap, so thinking cap is decided by WAR. But Rusty Staub is a Met, not an Expo. Is there a rule for which photo/team a player is displayed as?

All Reds! Position shenanigans for rarity. 30-30 means Ken Williams, the first to do it. Bench & Larkin are the only Hall guys, but Joey will join them. Imagine Big Klu with those torn off sleeves in the age of ESPN and social media. Shoutouts: Joe Morgan & Tony Perez.

Just saw that the Twins traded Edouard Julien to the Rockies. Naturally, it makes me wonder… m.youtube.com/watch?v=CrSZ...

QR codes? Why yes, I have an opinion.

Wait, “Marty Supreme” has both Fran Drescher and Sandra Bernhard?

I don’t know what y’all are doing with your snow day, but I’m finally getting around to putting my 1982 Topps cards in a binder

My friend Greg finally found the Christmas gift he got for me and mislaid. Worth the wait! #books x #booksky

Wow! and many thanks to @nightowlcardz.bsky.social for this array of 1982 Fleer Stamps. Dave Concepcion, Dave Collins, & Ray Knight for the Reds. Thanks also, and as always, to @ngtcollectibles.bsky.social for hosting the terrific Sunday Card Swap.

Levi posts interesting stuff. If you haven’t already stumbled upon him, I recommend. Here’s the actual post from the screengrab of the timeline serendipity I just posted.

Timeline serendipity. We all get these sometimes, but this one is pitch perfect.

Many thanks to @nightowlcardz.bsky.social for these 1970s gems. I’m a big fan of Larry “the Devil” Milbourne. (My friend Steven and I played tons of APBA with his 1981 card and gave him that nickname.) Thank you also and as always to @ngtcollectibles.bsky.social for hosting the Sunday Card Swap!

Many thanks to @ryanpeoples.bsky.social for these new “Mayo’s Cut Plug” cards of Orville Wright and Milton Hershey. Sweet! And thanks as always to @ngtcollectibles.bsky.social for hosting the Sunday Card Swap. If you collect, join us!

71 days until Red Sox at #Reds Opening Day 2026

Lots of Eagles fans were thrilled when they finally got rid of Andy Reid. He’s done pretty well at his next job. (This is a Mike Tomlin post.)

Hey @gritz.bsky.social Misfits up for claim!

Love today’s most popular grid picks. Greg Maddux dominates a whole column, while Nolan Ryan and Pedro Martinez take 2/3 of the other two columns. Don’t think I’ve ever seen that before.

Many thanks to @nightowlcardz.bsky.social for these terrific Hostess cards! These make me so very happy. Especially excited about former Reds OF Mike Lum, a childhood favorite. Thanks also to @ngtcollectibles.bsky.social for hosting the Sunday Card Swap.

Haven't played the Grid in a while, but couldn't resist when I saw the Reds and no "faux" teams. ⚾️ Immaculate Grid 1012 9/9: Rarity: 14 IMMACULATE! 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩

Many thanks to @hrderbyswing.bsky.social for these terrific Elly De La Cruz cards! Go Reds! (And also apologies for not thanking him earlier, as these got shuffled into the general Christmas chaos.)

Today’s Flea Market Haul. All from the dollar bin.

Waited in line at a West Philadelphia Starbucks behind Randall “Tex” Cobb and exchanged nods as he left. (This was 20+ years ago.)

Today's #MiLBCoD is Elite 1990 SPBA Commissioner Curt Flood. Just your reminder that he should be in the Hall of Fame. If you don't know, look him up. Challenged establishment. Sundays feature the Sr. League. Tell me your favorite story about the player, team, etc. Especially SPBA RPs appreciated

A nice Boxing Day surprise from @4miles2roll.bsky.social — these lovely gems of the 1980s. Many thanks! And also to @ngtcollectibles.bsky.social for hosting the Sunday Card Swap!

Merry Christmas to All!

⚾️ Immaculate Grid 997 9/9: Rarity: 7 #immaculategrid x #baseball Christmas, Steve Grid! All-Reds, surprisingly easy, & very awesome! Gary Redus! Spuds! Jim Thorpe instead of Old Hoss Radburn or Charlie Leibrandt or 1st thought Mike Lum. Myers & Charlton, just missing Dibble. Love this grid!

⚾️ Immaculate Grid 995 9/9: Rarity: 9 #immaculategrid x #baseball Much Better Grid! Had some coffee, didn’t obsess about Reds, chose fun. As always, started with “Where Would Redus Fit?” (WWRF?). Vince led to Dom, used Nemo instead of a Red (Billy Hamilton). Perez is more fun than Rhéal Cormier.

Card show yesterday! Pretty solid haul. Spent a lot of time in the 10¢ bin, but also moved another 21 cards toward the 1972 Topps baseball set! A few other additions too. So is #cardsky the right hashtag? #sportscard ? #topps ?

Recent trip to Philadelphia and hit some bookstores. Scored some nice mysteries! Particularly happy to find an old Penguin copy of “Information Received.” This is the first of 35 novels featuring Police Constable Bobby Owen, who eventually rises through the ranks to commander. #mystery x #books

my favorite christmas movie is “brazil.” i will be taking no further questions at this time.

If you love baseball—and you have trouble sleeping—absolutely check out the Sleep Baseball podcast. Someday I might find out who won a game, but so far I’ve never made it through the 4th inning. Usually I’m out by the top of the 2nd.

Went to see “Wake Up Dead Man” yesterday—absolutely terrific movie! But a trigger warning to all my #baseball friends who listen to local radio feeds on the mlb app. You will hear the phrase “oppo taco” while a character is watching a game. Just brace yourselves and it happens only once.

Give me sunlight, a comfortable chair and a wall of books! This makes me declare myself a most satisfied soul. For the library is a territory of wonder. It is home to a thousand wise voices who know words that open gates to the imagination. – #CLNolan, BBC National Programme, 1934 #Libraries

Hey @buntwaxera.bsky.social Do these count?

Today’s #immaculategrid 6 Reds and 3 Negro Leaguers. Duke Cleveland was an All Star for the 1941 Jacksonville Red Caps in the Negro American League. He did also play for the Cleveland Bears and Cleveland Buckeyes, which seems appropriate given his name.

Wow & Wow! Many thanks to @smith6668.bsky.social for the terrific vintage Topps cards! I’m now only 13 short of the entire 1977 Football Set! Thank as always to @ngtcollectibles.bsky.social for hosting the Sunday Card Swap. See you folks again tomorrow. If you collect, join us!

Anyone else ever start organizing miscellaneous cards . . . and then realize you’ve made such a confusing mess you’re not sure how to clean it up?

Joni Mitchell, 1974 Topps style, in honor of her birthday today

Many thanks to @mightylark.bsky.social for these three Swell baseball cards! Philadelphia Chewing Gum Corp.! Also a hat tip to @ngtcollectibles.bsky.social for hosting the Sunday Card Swap. If you collect, definitely check it out.

One of the first Camellias of the season. #bloomscrolling
