Try to think through the logistics of making some custom cards. My first run will be just four cards, just to give it a test drive. Trying to decide on what cards to use. Open to suggestions, but here are some of the things I have in mind... #CardSky

I had ordered this for my son and it got lost, so MLB Shop shipped me a new one. Well the original finally signed up. Does anyone want one? Size Large. Asking $20 shipped

Random card from my collection: 1985 TCMA Home Run Champions #NNO - Joe DiMaggio - New York Yankees I felt like a king with this card in my collection in the 1980s, long before all the SP legends and Archives and such. TCMA and SSPC were great ways to get cheap all-timers. #CardSky

A Christmas Story, Elf, Rudolph, Frosty, and of course, A Charlie Brown Christmas.

Babe Ruth hit 405 home runs after Dick Van Dyke was born.

Random card from my collection: 1990 Donruss #80 - Danny Jackson VAR - Cincinnati Reds I will go to my grave knowing in my heart of hearts that Danny Jackson was the real Cy Young pitcher of 1988. #CardSky

Random card from my collection: 1986 Topps #730 - Ozzie Smith - St. Louis Cardinals One of the best-looking photos from 1986 Topps. Underrated card design, too. #CardSky

This is KILLER! Fast-forward to 12:32. I'm loving these Musora cover sessions. youtu.be/gme17T5WQNM

Is it too early to start talking about Logan Webb as a potential future Hall of Famer? 🤔 @vossbrink.bsky.social

Random card from my collection: 1991 Donruss #285 - Greg Olson VAR - Atlanta Braves My copy is autographed, acquired TTM in 1991 along with my hand-drawn All-Star card of him. #CardSky

TIL Alexis Diaz is no longer in the Reds organization.

60 years have passed and despite the ineptness of the Reds' front office in more recent years, they still haven't made a worse trade.

Random card from my collection: 1988 Pacific Eight Men Out #68 - Grand Jury Summoned This is a great set about a terrible incident. #CardSky

Congratulations, Jeff Kent. Well-deserved honor for a well-played career. #CardSky

Who's the Boss? Season 2, episode 24, "The Unnatural." Billy Martin, Steve Sax, and Bob Uecker all make guest appearances. Love it.

Should Mattingly be in the HOF? I think so. Murphy? Again, I think the answer is yes. What about Kent? Yeppers. So while I'm disappointed about the first two, I'm happy about the third.

Hey hobby fam! Time for another Sunday #giveaway thread! If you could receive one card from another #thehobby fam member, what would it be? Keep requested cards under $30 in value. Please post cards you can give, & RT to share with others. #cardsky #generosity #cards4free

Here are a couple of "fun cards" I did in 2022, the last time Mattingly and Murphy were on the ballot. Based on the 1982 TCMA "Baseball's Greatest" set. #CardSky

I have not mocked up any new Baseball Immortals for the announcement tonight yet. Probably won't get to it until tomorrow at the earliest. I'm pulling for Mattingly and Murphy the most. I also think Kent deserves a hard look. I'm not sold at all on Valenzuela or Delgado.

A long overdue THANK YOU to @jaywigley.bsky.social for this Bob Bescher card from WTHBalls via a recent @ngtcollectibles.bsky.social Sunday giveaway thread! Bescher was the NL leader in stolen bases every season from 1909-1912. #CardSky

35 years ago yesterday. I think this is probably the biggest trade of my baseball fandom lifetime (beginning around 1986).

Random card from my collection: 2003 Topps 205 - Triple Folder Polar Bear #TF1 - Barry Bonds / Jason LaRue - San Francisco Giants / Cincinnati Reds Other than complete sets, the only Bonds card I plan to keep in my collection. #CardSky

Random card from my collection: 2011 Wax Eye Cereal Killers #6 - Halloweeties I love the Cereal Killers sets. #CardSky

I'm not excited at all about this year's ballot. Not sure if would vote for any of them.

I'm not really a football fan anymore, but this is long overdue (if it actually happens).

Random card from my collection: 1986 Topps #627 - Ron Oester - Cincinnati Reds Lifetime Red. Maybe the greatest 2B who only played for the Reds. Team Hall of Famer and all-around nice guy. #CardSky

This makes me laugh. The Reds land Alonso? Yonder maybe, but not Pete!

Random card from my collection: 1990 Bowman #38 - Shawon Dunston - Chicago Cubs I still remember very well watching WGN and seeing the Shawon-O-Meter in the bleachers. Such a great time to watch baseball. #CardSky

The first place I lived that wasn't Kentucky. The map doesn't match up with the post though. Not sure about the pictures. They don't seem right either.

Lived here for about 2 years, just 2 miles from the Ark Encounter.

Almost moved here about 6 or 7 years ago.

And my current town. Love this place.

My old stomping grounds! Where i was born and raised!

A little fun recap from Amazon #Music. I share my account with the family, and most of the "Catchy Tune Stage" belongs to them. Beethoven and Sinatra are me, while 21 Pilots is me and my oldest son. The Solid Rock and Heavy Metal stages are primarily me, except for Moon Walker. No idea who that is.

Random card from my collection: 1989 Score #82 - Mike Aldrete - San Francisco Giants Somehow I have eleven Mike Aldrete cards in my collection. #CardSky

Has anyone bought any of those Bo Jackson Battle Arena cards? Opinions? #CardSky www.bobattlearena.com

Wow. The Reds have the only SS in MLB history. What a time to be alive!

If Fanatics acquires Panini (or did they already?), does that mean we can get licensed Donruss baseball cards again? #CardSky

Random card from my collection: 2024 Topps Heritage #235 - Spencer Steer ASR - Cincinnati Reds I love Heritage and Archives and Replicards and random customs that bloggers make. #CardSky

Random card from my collection: 1991 Homers Classics #7 - Roberto Clemente - Pittsburgh Pirates I love this little set but know nothing about it. #CardSky

Random card from my collection: 1985 Topps - 1985 All-Star Set Collector's Edition (Glossy Send-Ins) #11 - Leon Durham - Chicago Cubs Durham was a Cincinnati Red for a few minutes in 1988. Didn't realize until this moment that he was an All-Star in ChiTown. #CardSky

Random card from my collection: 1991 Score #703 - Fernando Valenzuela NHC - Los Angeles Dodgers I love that they put the box score on the back. #CardSky

Every once in a while I look for photos of Frank Viola with the Cincinnati Reds. He only pitched three games for them in 1995. I think I found a b&w shot once, but can't even come up with that one now.

Next thing you knowing, people are going to pretend that Pete Rose never played for the Kansas City Royals.

People trying to act like they don't have a shoebox full of this card under their bed. #CardSky

Now that's more like it... My starting9 Stats: Nov24 W-L: 8-1 HR:⚾ AVG/SLG: .571/1.000 Career: 83-16 HR:21 .542/1.118 Play #starting9 here --> starting9.vercel.app

I tried using AI to colorize this old b&w photo of Johnny Bench playing outfield. Apparently, in the AI-verse, Bench played for the Milwaukee Brewers. Then I tried to correct it to a Reds uniform, Mr. AI put him on the Indians in the 1970s with those gorgeous fully-red uniforms!

Random card from my collection: 1975 Topps #308 - 1974 RBI Leaders (Jeff Burroughs / Johnny Bench) LL - Texas Rangers / Cincinnati Reds #CardSky
