New on the blog! A review of an outstanding new book on the 1912 Hassan Triplefolders set. sabrbaseballcards.blog/2025/11/16/r...

A movie so solid, they're still remaking it in 2025. One of the great "big group listening to a phone call" movies, an underrated cinematic niche.

Tatsuya Nakadai, the legendary Japanese actor best known for his roles in Ran, Harakiri and The Human Condition trilogy, has died. He was 92.

Found this 1942 WWII-era program of Northwestern hosting Iowa's Naval Cadets, who won 20-12, a harbinger for each side. The "Seahawks" (cadets) finished 7-3 & Northwestern went 1-9, despite NFL HOFer Otto Graham starring for Northwestern in those days. #CardSky

Well I’ve been hosting an annual World Nutella Day party for almost 15 years

a melange, a medley, a pastiche #CardSky

Veterans Day salute to 1941 Goudey #1 Hugh Mulcahy, who served four seasons across what could've been the prime of his career, like so many others. #CardSky

BJK signed my Sportscaster and I love the result. Royalty on top of royalty. #CardSky

We got one sweet boi last week and will add a second sweet boi tonight. At this rate, I will be wearing a Sliwa beret by Xmas.

My absolute weakness when composing sentences remains alliteration & assonance. I have noticed that my brain pronounces "alliteration & assonance" as if it includes both _a_lliter_a_tion & _a_sson_a_nce of its own.

Throwback to George Brace's direct-to-collector "Bra-Mac" colorized photos, which contain terrific 1930s candids & remain challenging to catalog in full. www.number5typecollection.com/2020/01/1974... #CardSky

Spotted today, 1942 sales receipt for cases of Goudey's Big League Gum, their long-running baseball product. Most likely to be "remainders" of cards first printed in 1941 or 1938. #CardSky

A special pickup today, original Bob Laughlin art that he matted and labeled for display! #CardSky

This amazing variety awaited my return from overseas. Where does one begin? #cardsky

the menu text too tiny vibes

“To his immeasurable credit, Babe Ruth felt a great kinship with the unfortunate and the sick.” - Schoolboy Waite Hoyt (Babe Ruth in a Giants uniform pictured with John McGraw at an exhibition fundraiser)

I learned about mister "my vegeance will destroy the White House" just last week & suddenly it's relevant American history.

I passed this Amsterdam canal boat right as KYE's episode reached its conversation on confed imagery. Dukes of Hazzard remains more insidious than you might imagine!

Cutie on my Amsterdam morning walk

Because the Tigers & Hawks will face off in the upcoming Japan Series, I'll share a pair of cards from the 1979 TCMA Japanese baseball set (Note that the Hawks were the Nankai Hawks then, they're the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks now)

Realized today I'm near where Chet Baker died in Amsterdam & located the memorial marker. "He will live on in his music for anyone willing to listen and feel." My dad played him often and I love a bunch of Chet's work.

clease the timeline and the brain

1958 program for record-breaking West End performance of Agatha Christie’s “The Mousetrap” on red silk to honor the occasion. It is now at over 30,000 performances! Displayed by the V&A in London.

The Mariners are in a better position right now than at any point in their history. How did we get here? And what happens now that they're coming home? www.lookoutlanding.com/game-recap/1...

Catcher-only grids should be an @immaculategrid.com toggle IMHO, another good one from @ordinaryeffort.bsky.social

#OTD in 1914, some absolute A-level trolling from Filene's. With all eyes in Boston on the Braves -- who are one win away from a World Series victory for the ages -- the well-known Hub retailer runs a sale on ... sox!

Looking over last year’s pulls #CardSky

Humpy the Salmon, Seattle Mariners, 2025 Topps style

This 1979 M’s drubbing of New York made it easy for Topps when picking card highlights! One of the earliest games I attended after we moved to Seattle.

Terrace reflection, Leamington Spa, UK. It legit looks like a lower level of that building, thanks to the water stillness.

Humpy in bio! #goms

FOR HUMPY! 😭

Y’all I’m going to be absolutely insufferably obnoxious with skeets and reskeets until the adrenaline wears off and I pass out. Please mute and/or unfollow accordingly

Accurate fridge magnet if you also consider card binders as "books I've yet to finish." #CardSky

Tough grid today, as Gold Gloves are often my weak link. The addition of extra innings _has_ relieved some brain strain from playing, TBQH. ⚾️ Immaculate Grid 920 9/9: Rarity: 307 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩⬜️ 🟩⬜️⬜️ ➡️ See my grid: immaculategrid.com/share/vDsEH7E

Too stressful to watch much of it live. Found a Seattle sports discord server that helps deliver info at just enough emotional distance to deal with.
