Fanatics London flagship store, packed with shiny football, baseball, and basketball. There's one Mookie Betts jersey on display for visiting Yanks, but it pales in comparison to the EPL display. #CardSky

I am enjoying coming up with wrong answers for all ten of these questions.

I put together a very difficult quiz. If you try it lemme know how it went. #CardSky www.si.com/collectibles...

I truly love unhinged social graphics

Remembering the movie Mantle & Maris shot after their 1961 home run chase & I already forgive every single goofy promo Cal Raleigh will do this year. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzx2... #goms

My conversation with SABR's 20205 Burdick Award winner Anson Whaley of @prewarcards.bsky.social covered a range of his experiences and motivations, plus some great cards out of that collection. #CardSky www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDGG...

I'm facilitating tonight's talk with Anson and look forward to some deep cuts from his amazing prewar collection and perspective.

Just a reminder that tomorrow is our virtual session with 2025 Jefferson Burdick Award Winner Anson Whaley. Members should have all registration info already. Non-members can message @heavyjstudios.bsky.social before 6 PM CT. The meeting begins at 7 PM CT.

Today I processed what Monte's 1952 card had always proclaimed: he stole home in the 1951 World Series, also victimizing a Yankee battery (Allie Reynolds & Yogi Berra), years before Jackie's more famous theft. Serious chutzpah. #CardSky

Diane 11:30 a.m. February 24th. Entering the town of Twin Peaks.

Trainspotting, didn’t make it past the predictable death midway

I wrote this search site for baseball #ImmaculateGrid games, since many players enjoy going back to try specific combos from the past. Send any feedback here on Bluesky. ordinaryarchive.com

Well, this is horrifying

February 22 is Cat Day in Japan. 🐈 It comes from a Japanese wordplay: 2 can be read as “ni,” so 2/22 sounds like “nyan nyan nyan” — the Japanese version of “meow meow meow.” That’s why many people in Japan celebrate by sharing cat posts on social media.

A deep dive where I explain the real backstory to the design for the 1990 Topps set: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lh8W...

Kurt Vonnegut stop being so applicable to all time periods of American life, you can’t do that Kurt Vonnegut, your insights are too evergreen Kurt Vonnegut

Larry Lester and I will talk about how Negro League stats came to be a part of MLB's official record. This will be a Zoom event, so consider joining us next week, on Thursday, Feb 26 at noon Eastern Time. nyslibrary.libcal.com/event/16236463

Look, I didn’t say we’re scrutable, I said we’re colleagues

Last morning in 🇪🇸 and off to 🇬🇧

It's the most wonderful time of February... MLB teams are having their Photo Days, and it's time to see some players in their new uniforms. I'm going to see how many custom cards I can crank out before I sign on to work, starting with Alex Bregman

I'll put this out there one last time. We do not have enough people to move forward with this yet. There is a sample on the survey of what the front would look like. I would love to make this happen, but I don't have the money to do it on my own. Fill out the form; share this post. #CardSky

Three cinema stars in Madrid 🇪🇸

Madrid’s popular statue of The Curious Neighbor, with me, a man also known for being occasionally nosy. (His cheeks get constant attention from tourists.)

“Feeling cute, we’ll probably destroy this later”

A beautiful tribute to the late Coach Ron Teasley by my dear friend and legendary SABR researcher Gary Gillette. www.hamtramckstadium.org/blog-entries...

I normally worry about this sort of personal info helping people attempt malicious things, but it's the Black Hat / DEF CON guy, so it's already too late for anyone we knew.

As answer to any one-word question: "The hands of fate?" College discussions: "...have they considered Iowa State, the high school AFTER high school!" (two of my grandparents met at Iowa State) and for any qualitative evaluation: "👌It stinks!"

Can’t help but

Zut alors, it's Feb 7, le Hammer time #CardSky

And did I fail to mention it's Babe Ruth's birthday? We will never forget this King of the Bat.

1936 "Sports Stamp" (newspaper cut-out) from the Chicago American that calls Ruth "retired temporarily" from baseball and now spending his time at golf. Net54 collectors did terrific work sharing players from its eccentric checklist in this thread: www.net54baseball.com/showthread.p... #CardSky

We were so close to Hammer at 44% today #ImmaculateGrid

Charming trio of 1920s Hollywood strip cards arrived today, siblings of the better known “Big Head” & W516 baseball sets, shown for comparison. #CardSky

Our call for nominations is now open! #CardSky

Describe your Bluesky account in a single image

99% of the time, people refer to W515 as baseball only. The full set includes several non-sport strips, including Hollywood royalty Mary Pickford. This composite shows how image size differences between W515-1 & W515-2 echo those seen on other W515 types. #CardSky

Several 1958 "stamps" (VZ album photos?) are on eBay right now from an issue with entertaining name mismatches. These three seem to be Pirates teammates Don Gross, Bennie Daniels, & Ted Kluszewski. #CardSky

Huge chunks of summers with my dad were spent listening together to Cosby records. Fortunate that they’re not something he’s tried to revive, given other big differences we’re already dealing with!

We are live! 25 Seahawks/Seattle sports items that I have collected over the years are up for grabs, with every cent going to @abortionfunds.bsky.social :) Seahawks fans, let's show 'em how much we love reproductive rights! Tell a friend to tell a friend... www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?s...

"...and to drink...ta-da! Peru!" I'll put a tie around my head for anyone willing to wear a dress like Ricky's mom.
