The last one. The 1965 Uecker completes the set! The ultimate funny man, posing for the Topps photographer as a left handed hitter. #Topps #1965 #TheHobby

In honor of new @KStateFB Head Coach Collin Klein, here are the 2013 Upper Deck Letterman autos. All #’d to 50. Good luck Coach Klein and welcome back to Manhattan.

Penultimate card of the 1965 set. Thanks @CTBCards

Was going to wait until next weekend’s @DallasCardShow but went to the LCS last night and couldn’t pass it up. 2 more to go. #CardSky #TheHobby #1965Topps

Should be wearing a Greinke jersey as a show of solidarity between guys who got a 9-figure deal in LA after abandoning the Royals

Another completed page! The 1965 Jim Gentile arrived. Down to 3 cards to complete the set. #CardSky #TheHobby #1965Topps

Quick trip to GAS Show in Lee’s Summit this morning and unexpectedly found 6 of my last 10 at very good prices. Banks, Robinson, Allen, Ford, and Perez. 4 more to go! #TheHobby #CardSky #1965Topps

St. Joseph, MO card show today. Picked up 8 new 65s and a few others including these Kellogg’s Willie Wilson’s from 82 & 83.

Made the journey to Atchison for the card show sponsored by Thorne’s House of Cards and Collectibles. Picked up a Brett box topper, a couple rookies, and some other Brett’s. #CardSky #TheHobby #CheaperThanTheCostToGrade

Getting closer. eBay wins this week and a LCS had this Gibson for a great price. Too bad the centering is off but it is a beautiful card otherwise! 18 to go!

A card that’s not a card…..@Royals giveaway this year for Salute to the Negro Leagues, a KC Monarchs collectible pin. #NLBM #CardSky #TheHobby

Cards of the night: It’s not Ohtani but it is the first Japanese-born MLB player, Masanori Murakami. In 1964 he pitched 9 games in relief striking out 15 and walking only 1 with a 1.80 ERA. Here are his 1965 Topps RC and 2025 Topps First Pitch cards.

A Friday trip to Columbia, MO for the @USAquarium concert at @RoseMusicHall and ended up in the nicest card shop I’ve ever been. @Dugout_CoMo got me quite a bit closer to finishing the 1965 set. Great store, good prices, and super organized. Only 23 more to go.

Brought home some cool cards from the Omaha Card Show. I picked up about 75 cards for the 65 set build including some near mint high #.’s. However, the deal of the day was had on the 59 Kaline. #cardsky #thehobby

Some pickups from Saturday’s Ottawa Card Show. More 65’s. 401 down, 197 to go.

Finally, got the cabinets filled with Royals bobbleheads again. Here is everything from 2002-2023 (2002 Sluggerrr is in a different cabinet). I need more room for the rest.

Went to the McPherson (KS) Sportscard Show for the first time on Saturday. Great to see @RyanHageman33. Got a few big cards for my 65 set build along with some Brett’s, a Bench, and a Goudey Fred Brickell, Saffordville, KS native.

A small non-Royal PC mail day. #TheHobby #CardSky #CheaperThanTheCostToGrade

A rather cool night at the K.

Nothing better than Sunday afternoon baseball at The K. #GoRoyals

The Spring Break trip to Tampa yielded some numbered Royals from the Baseball Card Clubhouse & the 1924 Negro Leagues World Series 67 card set from the St. Petersburg Museum of History. Finally, a mail day of 1974 Topps unmarked team checklists from @CardsCtb.

Daily Walkoff ⚾️ Royals #174 "Hits By Year" 🟢🟢🟢🟢🚀 dailywalkoff.com

The 1000th Card in the Brett PC, a 2021 Topps Gallery of Heroes. Looks great with a little backlight.

On this day in 1920, Andrew "Rube" Foster led a group of independent black baseball team owners and organized the founding of the Negro National League at the Paseo YMCA in Kansas City, MO. Here’s my painting of the great man as a pitcher with the Chicago Union Giants in 1902.

Another mail day for less than the cost to grade…or in this case less than half the cost. Vinnie RC. #Pasquatch

Visited Rock’s Dugout in Wichita this week. Found some pack fresh 1965 Topps for my current set build including former KC A’s players Rocco Colavito and Ralph Terry (both with the Indians by 65). Most were from series 5 & 6. Now over halfway finished at 58%.

Putting the display case back together. The top shelf is reserved for HOF’er George Brett.

The Lee’s Summit, MO show today was packed. I was able to pick up about 60 cards for my 1965 set along with a Josh Trout signed card. He is an amazing artist that has worked for Topps.

You have to love a Brett mail day when you get it cheaper than the cost of grading!

Thanks to @westlake-wax.bsky.social for this giveaway. Two great autos especially with one “should be”hall of famer!

Mail day from @PizzosCards. Witt, Jr. triple relic from Tribute /199. A 206 Witt, Jr. 1909 ticket stub back and a 206 Brett wood stock. The stubs are limited to 15 copies and the wood stock to 20 copies.

Super random giveaway time. Follow, repost, and like for chance at ‘81 Donruss Dwight Evans and Champ Summers autos. Like I said, random. Will randomize @ 9:00 Eastern on 12/15. #cardsky #thehobby

As we head into the holiday season & give thanks for our little corner of the baseball community, it occurred to me that it's been a while since we played The Game. You know the drill: copy the text, quote with a random player you like, and let others do likewise. Tony Pena

That was fun. Daily Walkoff #89 - 11/27/2024 Kansas City Royals 🟢🟢🟢🟢🚀 dailywalkoff.com

The last of my 1st SGC submission from the DCS. A few parallels of a couple decent players. #TheHobby #CardSky

Here is the 1971 RC of Paul Splittorff, Royals pitcher from 70-84. He went onto be inducted into the Royals HOF in 87, and worked as a Royals broadcaster for many years. He passed away from cancer in 2011 at the age of 64. Pretty nice card considering the tough 71 black border. #CardSky #SGC

Yesterday I did a quick survey of my social media feeds and looked at the first 25 posts to see how many of them were people/groups that I followed vs ads or “sponsored” content. Facebook - 10/25 = 40% X (Twitter) - 19/25 = 76% Bluesky - 25/25 = 100% Let’s hope Bluesky stays that way.
