Sticking with the 3D cards, transitioning from Tim Raines to Gary Carter to Dwight Gooden. It’s hard to overstate how big a deal he was in the mid-80s, and he’s definitely larger than life on today’s #RandomCardFromMyCollection!

Douglass Night is one of my absolute favorite Webster Groves traditions, when the Statesmen trade their customary orange & black for the purple & gold of Douglass High, honoring the legacy of St. Louis County’s only accredited high school for African-Americans until 1957. fox2now.com/video/webste...

Woke up this morning to the news of Gene Hackman’s passing, and was reminded of my 2019 trip to the Hoosier Gym to watch my alma mater Webster Groves Statesmen compete. Hackman played many iconic roles, but for me, he will always be Coach Norman Dale. A tip of the Statesman top hat to him. 🎩

Following up on yesterday’s #RandomCardFromMyCollection, another 1980s star with that beautiful Expos uniform popping out at you, Gary Carter!

Got one in today for my Webster Groves High School Alumni Collection that’s a little (okay, extremely) different: Supermodel & 2011 alum, Karlie Kloss. It’s larger than I thought (second photo added for size reference compared to a regular card), but still a neat add. 🎩 #WGHSAC

Mid-80s 3D action for today’s #RandomCardFromMyCollection: Tim Raines is coming right at you, and looking good in his Expos duds while he’s doing it!

Anyone happen to have an undamaged 62 Salada coins display for sale without the team name?

Did not realize that his name was actually Alfred Manuel Martin until I received this card today and read it on the back. In other news, merely seeing this means you’ve been fired by George Steinbrenner. Getting closer on my 1956 Topps set build…

Some Cardinals fans seem kind of down on Jordan Walker. I couldn’t disagree more, and I absolutely think that this is the season the 22-year old has a breakthrough year. He’s “my guy” on the team, and that’s why I want to feature him as today’s #RandomCardFromMyCollection.

Happy 69th birthday to the great Eddie Murray! The only switch-hitter to amass both 3,000 hits and 500 home runs, he is also one of just 12 players in MLB history with 1,900 RBIs. And he also was a high school teammate of fellow Hall of Famer, Ozzie Smith!

In the eastern time zone, I’m almost an hour late for the #RandomCardFromMyCollection for Sunday, February 23rd. But in St. Louis, where Elston Howard was born 2/23/1929, it’s (barely) still his birthday. Glad to celebrate my fellow STL native!

Tom was Terrific…even in an airbrushed cap! Mr. Seaver is today’s #RandomCardFromMyCollection.

In 1978, my grandfather bought me my first ever pack of baseball cards. I’m not sure why I remember this, but I remember that one of the cards was Rick Auerbach. I also remember thinking he was the legendary Celtics coach. He was a “Red,” after all.🤷🏻‍♂️ #RandomCardFromMyCollection

In the bottom of the 12th, 8/22/82, the Cardinals’ 3rd-string catcher had a 2-out, 2-strike, walk-off steal of home. The Cardinals would go on to win the World Series. Glen Brummer would go on to be the spine card on my 1983 Topps binder, and today’s #RandomCardFromMyCollection.

In my mom’s honor, today’s #RandomCardFromMyCollection is of her favorite player (and subsequently mine), Lou Brock! Mom would take me to Cardinals games when I was a kid, and we’d get there long before the gates opened so we could sit in the front row of the LF bleachers!

She took me to Cardinals games on Sunday afternoons, threw me grounders in the backyard, and taught me to love the baseball. But first she took me to church on Sunday mornings, helped me memorize Bible verses, and taught me to love Jesus, who she went to be with two years ago today. Miss you. Mom! ❤️

#RandomCardFromMyCollection brings you Carl Erskine! He became a favorite of mine when I read Roger Kahn’s classic The Boys of Summer. The last surviving member of those teams, he died last August.

It’s President’s Day, so I guess it only makes sense to go with El Presidente as today’s #RandomCardFromMyCollection. Dennis “Denny” Martinez, looking resplendent in those Montreal Expos baby blues!

#RandomCardFromMyCollection: And the winner in the category of “most completely illegible scribble of an autograph ever” is…Pedro Guerrero! Signed in person after a game in St. Louis in 1987.

#RandomCardFromMyCollection brings you another one from the new 2025 Topps Series One: Hall of Famer Adrian Beltre tossing out a first pitch. So many weird subsets and variations of cards these days!

Two years ago today was a memorable day for me as I picked up my dad’s boyhood idol, Willie Mays, to finish off my 1964 Topps Giants set build. A huge hobby milestone for me, it was the first set from before I was born that I completed. Hope to add 1956 Topps to that list soon. Just 20 cards to go!

Kind of a no-brainer here. For today’s #RandomCardFromMyCollection, we’re going with Ellis Valentine. Here he is just oozing “cool” in an old school, no-earflap Expos helmet and matching zip-up jacket. Didn’t he have a -5 arm in Strat-O-Matic back in the day? What a dude!

I don’t buy much new stuff, but I did get a little 2025 Topps today. In honor of his recent (near unanimous) election to the Hall of Fame, we’ll feature Ichiro as the #RandomCardFromMyCollection today!

Not only did I pick up a bunch of Hostess cards at the LCS the other day, I also picked up a bunch of 1981 Topps Super 5x7s plus a couple other Cobras (a 1980 5x7 and a regular 1977 Topps). I collected the mid-1980s 5x7’s, but didn’t remember them from the early 80s. Fun cards!

#RandomCardFromMyCollection: Back in 1994, I went to Birmingham to see that tall guy play baseball. When I picked this card up though, it wasn’t so much because of him, but because I collect cards of my high school’s alumni…of which Harry Caray may be the most famous! #WGHSAC

Another one of the Hostess cards I picked up yesterday at the LCS. Always a joy to add a card of the one and only Rodney Cline Carew! His swing was sweeter than the snack cakes in the box! I’ll never grow tired of featuring him as the daily #RandomCardFromMyCollection.

In honor of the Eagles’ Super Bowl victory, today’s #RandomCardFromMyCollection features a Philadelphia legend, Hall of Famer, Robin Roberts! I have a few of these Red Man cards. Definitely want to add more!

Two for one (since I was busy and didn’t post yesterday): A Super Veteran, super fireman kind of day today at #RandomCardFromMyCollection! Bruce Sutter and Rollie Fingers were teammates with the Cardinals for a couple days in December of 1980! What a bullpen that could’ve been!

A Super Veteran AND a super perm! Hall of Fame hurler and WTBS broadcaster Don Sutton is today’s #RandomCardFromMyClection.

#RandomCardFromMyCollection takes a break from featuring 1983 Topps Super Veterans today, in order to honor the one and only Henry Louis Aaron on what would have been his 91st birthday!

It kind of hurts to see that Cardinals cap on Carlton and to dream of what might have been, but his 1983 Topps Super Veteran card is still today’s #RandomCardFromMyCollection.

#RandomCardFromMyCollection is enjoying the 1983 Topps Super Veterans! And for the second straight day, we’re going to double up with a regular card, because as cool as Rod Carew is, Rod Carew with a headband is even cooler.

For a second consecutive day, #RandomCardFromMyCollection will stay with the 1983 Topps Super Veterans and feature Kent Tekulve. Doubling up with his regular card though, because he was just too awesome to be limited to one card!
