Got the Baseball Hall of Fame class together for a group photo: Ichiro, CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner.

Who binders their cards? It brings a lot of nostalgia for me. I do for my autographed sets and my Phillies (vintage Bowman and Topps) runs. Today I sorted the 2024 Topps sets (Series 1, 2 and Update).

Happy National Bobblehead Day Von Hayes got the bobblehead treatment twice during his coaching career - 2003 with South Bend Silver Hawks and 2010 with Camden Riversharks

Here's to Jimmy Carter. Back in the early 2000s, he would still respond to mail requests for autographs as long as it was one of his books. This is my signed copy of his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech.

Who would win in a wrestling match - Lemmy or god?!

Just landed my first 1949 Sealtest Phillies via a great auction deal. PSA has only ever graded 17 of these Bill "Swish" Nicholson stickers.

Remembering Joe 🩶

Here's to Rickey Henderson. What a legend. Here is his card from my complete 1989 Topps autographed set.

A few Chase Utley cards in honor of his birthday today…

"Chase Utley, you are the man." Happy Birthday to the one guy whose jersey I owned from the 2008 team.

Happy Birthday Fergie Jenkins! The Hall of Famer was kind enough to sign his Phillies rookie card for me through-the-mail for a small fee.

Card Friends: I started an Instagram account. If interested, please give a follow at www.instagram.com/vinylandcards/. I wanted to share my oldest card: 1887 N172 Old Judge featuring the Philadelphia Quakers' (now Phillies) Ed Andrews.

Here's to you, Rocky Colavito. I collect signed rookies. While Rocky lived near where I grew up, I never had a ttm success. This card, signed 'The Rocky', I found raw on eBay back in May 2023 and later got it slabbed by PSA. Just a great piece of art and baseball history.

The nursery is coming together. Baby's first cardboard purchased from @prewarcards.bsky.social

On January 14, 2013 I started officially collecting the entire 1990 Topps baseball card set autographed. Been a long road and my card buying has drastically slowed down, but I am still attempting to chip away at it. This month I added 6 new ones. That brings me to over 90% complete with 79 to go.

Can We Start Again?
