Let me check. I’m sure I have some that might qualify.

So thankful for this #TTMsuccess from the 101-year old Rev. Bill Greason. He’s the oldest living former MLB player and the last remaining player from the Negro Leagues. He was also kind enough to answer my questions on best player (Willie Mays) & favorite Bible verse (John 3:16).

Thanks so much to @kujhawk90.bsky.social for the RAK to help out with my 1975 Topps set build!

Thanks so much to @splitseason1981.bsky.social for hooking me up with a reasonably priced starter set to get me really going on my 1975 Topps set build!

Me too!

They just played “We Are Family,” and now they follow it up with “Celebration.” It must be a special “world championship baseball team theme song” episode.

#1982Cardinals

For so many reasons, I absolutely love this card. And I’m totally okay with being the only person for whom that’s true.

Got another lot of 16 for my 1985 Topps #757 Willie McGee #OneCardCollection!#CardSky

Beautiful!

Starting my 1975 Topps set build, and hadn’t realized I already have this beauty. #FiredUp

Sounds like you got in touch with him. Hope the conversation proves fruitful.

Him?

Picked up this matted pic of Satchel Paige from the Hall of Fame. Looking forward to finding the right spot for it!

My Ted Williams card is in a slab, so I’ve got the Archives card as a placeholder, but here is my 1956 Topps binder. I still can’t believe this actually happened. Adolescent Pete would be awed.

Next project: 1975 Topps.

Found one at a price I liked, and with that, I now have officially completed my 1956 Topps set build! Frankly, I can’t believe this is a reality, and will be sharing some more thoughts in the future. For now though, thanks so much to everyone who helped make this dream come true!

#MailDay: Added this one today to complete (I think) my subset of 1975-76 Topps cards including the ABA’s Spirits of St. Louis. Bob Costas would no doubt approve!

Looking forward to checking out Soul Power on Prime Video. I’ve heard great things about it.

Picked up an item for my Webster Groves High School alumni collection: an autographed index card from Bud Byerly (class of 1939). 🎩🧡🖤⚾️

Lots of teams did the powder blue back in the day. Nostalgically, I like them all, but in my opinion, none of them looked quite so good as the Cardinals with the bright red hats and uniform accents.

Though the Expos were pretty awesome too.

How many Bo Jacksons are you up to?

I love the jumbo cards!!! Built a few sets, and got a jumbo 85 Topps signed by Ryne Sandberg a few years back.

A New Project Back in the 1980s, I was a baseball-crazed adolescent and the Cardinals were blazing around the basebaths to three National League pennants ...

North of 400 now…

Fun mail day:
-An unexpected old TTM request from 1980s Cardinals closer Todd Worrell.
-A 1947 Dell MLB season preview with Stan the Man on the front and Flint native Sophie Kurys of the AAGPBL on the back.
-A lot to add to my 1985 Topps Willie McGee card 757 #OneCardCollection.

So sorry about the fire. We’ve had a couple friends lose houses to fire. So devastating.

Happy birthday to a certain minor league baseball player that I drove all the way to Birmingham to see play back in 1994…

Happy Valentine’s Day! ❤️

Saw that Roy Face died yesterday at the age of 97. “The Baron of the Bullpen,” Face was one of the first great relievers who (along with Hoyt Wilhelm) pioneered the role of bullpen closers in the 1950s & 60s.

Thankful to have had him sign this card a few years back. RIP.

OTD in 1919, the great Jackie Robinson was born.

When my son took AP US History, the class had a debate tournament to determine who was the “greatest American ever.” Jack argued for Robinson…and won the whole thing. Today he’s in his final semester of law school at Northwestern!

Love them! I’m about to get serious on a 75 Topps set build, and like your sensibilities on condition! How far along are you?

It absolutely has! And now it's my turn to love it!
