To all my collector of cardboard mates, go easy on the chocolate eggs today @sabrbbcards.bsky.social @tjpilotsfan.bsky.social @splitseason1981.bsky.social @phitter72.bsky.social @markarmour04.bsky.social @seankeeley.bsky.social @curtburner.bsky.social @gimapreceptor.bsky.social #cardsky

Does a baseball card get any more Easter than this Gary Cieradkowski Luke Easter complete with @scottsimkus.bsky.social Easter egg! 🐣 Happy Easter to all who celebrate!

I LOVE that the Cubs have issued so many cards/sets over the years—but why do they HATE the standard-sized card so much? I never thought I would have to buy so many two-pocket and four-pocket in my life.

1949 Bowman. @sabrbbcards.bsky.social @tjpilotsfan.bsky.social @splitseason1981.bsky.social @phitter72.bsky.social @adarowski.bsky.social @seank138.bsky.social #cardsky

A last-minute decision to check out a new card show yesterday paid off. Lots of Cubs oddball goodness, Including a Hack Wilson relic card that I needed and a pair of jumbo DKs. That was fun.

There it is

A hearty thank you to @thelensofdonnam.bsky.social for this sweet stack of Allen & Ginter Cubs cards—including Cubs legend Fred McGriff!

Huge thanks to Tim McKinney and George Fejt for the hospitality and amazing tour for SABR Chicago of the Triton College Baseball facility at Symonds Puckett Field. It was a beautiful day for baseball and so cool to learn more about Triton’s historic baseball program.

This is a fun team set (in more ways than one): 2006 Uno Cubs.

It’s a chilly day here at beautiful Wrigley Field. Perfect day for a triple.

Yup, we are early and it's COLD. Let's visit @sambernero.bsky.social GO CUBS!

2026 has begun in earnest. This is the year of the triple. Go Cubs!

It feels so good to be back home.

Ah, Opening Day memories. Anyone else remember Jeff Samardzija and his bloated home opener ERA in 2010?

Oh yeah, we are early. Already saw @sambernero.bsky.social and @jrattin.bsky.social . Mrs.Woz @mrswoz.bsky.social will be here very shortly. IT'S OPENING DAY, GO CUBS

Happy Opening Day to all who celebrate! ⚾️ Can’t believe it’s already been 10 years since the home opener for that magical 2016 season. Time files.

What time are you going to be there tomorrow morning @chicagowoz.bsky.social?
