Sunday morning Bluesky is the worst with all the political sludge. Let’s see some favorite cards. #cardsky

I’ll preface by saying I only get Topps Archives for fun but 21 pairs of doubles (on the left), including 5 pairs of guys who haven’t laced up in 20+ yrs, is a bit much for two value boxes when it’s a 300 card checklist. #cardsky

Got this Donnie Baseball auto from Mattingly Charities. #cardsky #Topps

One advantage of having an incredibly disorganized collection is that going through old boxes can feel new again. I honestly had no idea I had these two Ohtani rookies. #cardsky #Topps

Decent cards from my Chrome Update value box. I will admit I’m sick & tired of hitting Dodgers autos, # ‘d & SPs. #cardsky #Topps

I miss baseball. #Yankees

I read the O’s may be open to trading Rutschum so his time in Baltimore may be drawing to a close. This is still a banger of a card. #cardsky

Reading the latest scouting reports on these two reinforces how exponentially more competitive baseball gets from one level to the next. Struggling to hit fastballs seems like a fatal flaw. #cardsky

Stumbled across a box in my basement & remembered that I need to root for Jaison Chourio. #cardsky #Topps

So I don’t even remotely dabble in Pokémon but I took my kids out for pizza after school & my son asked if he could buy a pack that was on display. He was 50/50 on whether this was a good card so he asked me to take a pic & search the image. Not too shabby. #cardsky

I heard this gem watching ‘The Last Frontier’ on AppleTV & I think 2026 is the year I dive headfirst & deep into Leonard Cohen’s song book.

One of my favorite non-baseball cards. 2020 Topps Allen & Ginter Megan Rapinoe. #cardsky

I don’t remember how I stumbled across Bodega Cats but it’s definitely on the Mt. Rushmore of great things to happen to the internet.

I’ve never been a big Donruss guy but these Marvel cards are a great design. 2022 Mike Trout #cardsky

While it has zero bearing on their actual HoF candidacy, these guys made it to my personal fantasy baseball HoF years ago. I had each of them on my team multiple years during their primes.

I’m going to reserve judgment on the Yankees offseason until it’s over. The CBA prohibits teams from saying they’re not interested in a player but agents ‘leak’ the Yanks interest to drive up $. Hank saying he wants to be under $300M might just be a subtle way of calling BS on all these agents.

Nothing fancy or flashy. This is a perfectly composed baseball card. 2022 Topps B&W Spencer Strider. #cardsky

#cardsky #Topps

I had a brief but torrid love affair with Donruss Bomb Squad. Fun design & super affordable. #cardsky

Another legendary banger of a local NYC tv ad: The Ritz Thrift Shop. “You don’t need a million to look like a million.”

The old snake lifting a rock auto of Spencer Torkelson. #cardsky #Topps

Had a mid-day appointment that took me within shouting distance of my LCS so why not. Couldn’t tell you the first thing about any of these guys but that middle Bowman design is catchy. #cardsky #Topps

Ahh, the early 80’s. They ran this beautiful Mount Airy Lodge commercial 24x7. Even as a kid, you knew what was going on once they got to the heart shaped tub scene. My guess is this place was the Studio 54 of the Poconos.

Early morning card. Project 70 Rickey by Alex Pardee. #cardsky #Topps

Needed a quick fun rip. Nothing spectacular but the Trout card is cool. #cardsky #Topps

Tony Kornheiser pondered potential trades for every team & my head will literally explode if Dominguez goes from untouchable, can’t miss, cornerstone prospect to trade bait for an oft-injured bottom rotation pitcher. How does this keep happening with #Yankees prospects?! What is Cashman doing?!

Flashback to the greatest product rip I’ve ever had. #cardsky #Topps

The Yankees s/b all-in on Bichette. First & foremost, Volpe stinks. Second, worst case is you make another team overpay. Ditto for Bregman. McMahon’s glove will never overcome his anemic bat. I don’t love walking away from Bellinger or Tucker but I’m not the one who signed Grisham for $22M.

This Donnie Baseball sample card was one of my most prized possessions growing up. The price appreciation I envisioned was completely devoid of reality 🤩. Still a favorite with lots of sentimental value. #cardsky

Final lines for the 1927 Yankees’ No. 3 & 4 hitters. How does one drive in 173 runs when almost 10% of your plate appearances came with the bases empty?

I’m neutral on Grisham as a player but confused w/$22M 1yr. If Cashman is really trying to sign Bellinger then WTF is the plan w/Dominguez? Will he ever get a chance to play? How does he go from their top, untouchable prospect to a platoon player w/out ever being given a chance? I hate Cashman.

I expect everyone to now argue Posada belongs in the HoF. Hardest position in the universe, Edgar was a glorified softball player, etc. No, I’m not serious.

If you can, try to tip your local Starbuck’s baristas like a drunken sailor between now & the planned strike. And then buy some viscous mud from one of those street corner slingers & tip them too.

A few things: 1 - never heard of Turnstile until today; 2 - this is awesome; 3 - I then checked out their music & my god, the studio versions are totally devoid of the sound & vibe captured here. How is that possible? youtube.com/watch?v=oPO8...

I think the Dodgers are good for baseball. They’re the clear boogeyman. Don’t like ‘em, then go out & beat them.

Daaaaaaaa Blue Jays lose!

I just wish both teams could lose.

I’m not even a Dodgers fan & this gives me the chills. And all of this flashed through Kike Hernandez’ brain in a fraction of a second. Game 7!

Please, I beg people to stop complaining that MLB has to change the rules to limit intentional walks. The Jays are trying to win a championship. And I’m a Yankees fan who’s used to teams routinely pitching around Judge. The other 8 hitters need to step up. It’s that simple.

Watching last night’s World Series recap: I know he was leading off but pitching to Freddie Freeman after he flied out to the warning track in his previous 4 at-bats while Smith & Muncy were waiting with 7 k’s & 1 hit b/t them was a choice. Never let the best players beat you.

My biggest takeaway from the Louvre heist is that it’s pronounced Loov-ruh.

Al Trautwig was an exceptional sports commentator. It’s more than his association with a golden era of NY sports. His style was complementary to the action unfolding. He made moments bigger & better without forcing it & it was never, ever about him.

I love baseball but I’m just way too bitter to watch the last two teams who eliminated the Yankees play for the title. I just hope it goes seven so one fanbase gets their hearts ripped out.

That bunt may comeback to haunt the Mariners. All the pressure was on Bieber. Why giftwrap an out?

I got a pretty penny for this Ohtani card but I definitely sold it waaaay too soon. #cardsky

I bet this card is unlikely to increase in value. #cardsky #Topps

Blue Jays fans coming to the realization that beating the mighty Yankees was as impressive as Cosmo Kramer dominating the dojo.

I have better Mariner’s cards so I’m rooting for increased value. #cardsky

The Yankees aren’t serious about winning if they don’t resign Bellinger. He’s the bellwether. They also need to sh!t or get off the pot w/Dominguez. He’s either your starting LF or you move him for pieces. One of our corner IFs needs to be capable of 30 HRs.

Oh my god. After all these years, I just realized Morrissey was a Jets fan. “Everyday is like Sunday. Everyday is silent & grey.” Only a mother f’n #NYJets fan feels that way about Sundays.
