I love that my kid is as into collecting baseball cards as I was. It's so much fun getting to relive the thrill of opening packs and pulling out a glossy parallel of a great player. Or the joy of getting a Phillies player (glossy Zack Wheeler and a Brandon Marsh!) and watching my son immediately put them in his "Phillies Players Only" binder. 😃 ⚾
I just bought one of my grail cards, only to realize one should never buy Goudeys ungraded. Keep your fingers crossed it's authentic. I won't be super upset if it's a fake, given I PC pretty obscure guys and I didn't spend more than my regular #card budget, but not a lesson I wanted to learn through trial and error. #baseballcards#scams#vintagecards
On this date in 1954, the Kalamazoo Lassies defeated the Fort Wayne Daisies to win the final AAGPBL championship before the league dissolved. June Peppas pitched a complete game and went 3-for-5 for the Lassies.
I have thousands of MTG cards, mostly worth pennies, and my small baseball card collection (2 random boxes of cards bought from Walgreens) averages $2 a card (including a 1989 Bobby Doerr worth $60)
