Tim Curry in the computer game Frankenstein scared the crap out of me as a little kid. It was awesome!
I have a horrible eye for grading. My personal scale only has three levels, Nice, Acceptable and Rough.
This morning when I went to work I saw a little bunny sitting in the corner of my apartment building. So tiny.
Is there a list of active 10 and 5 MLB guys?

A 1917 Collins-McCarthy Casey Stengel Baseball card next to a 1962 Topps Casey Stengel Baseball card.
I'm probably the only guy who played for Stengel before and after he was a genius. - Warren Spahn
LOTG Spring 2026 Auction closes Saturday. Here is a fun tidbit that I found. In the auction, you can bid on a Casey Stengel card from 1917 and one from 1962. That is a 45-year gap between cards!
1954 Bowman Willie Mays Card
1952 Red Man Willie Mays Card
I am late to the party on this one, but I just realized the 1954 Bowman Willie Mays and the 1952 Red Man use the same image, which is actually from 1951.

1960 New York Yankees official program and scorecard for a June 27, 1960, exhibition game between the Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers. The game marked the Dodgers' first return to New York since leaving Brooklyn, and a crowd of 53,492 - including many Dodgers fans - attended the game and watched their former Bums beat the Yankees, 4-3. Gate receipts from the game went to benefit the New York Sandlot Fund and Dodger Charities, and also included a home run hitting contest. In addition to being the Dodgers' first return to New York, it was also their first appearance in Yankee Stadium since Don Larsen's perfect game in the 1956 World Series.
Collection of 18 t-shirts issued to Joba Chamberlain during his major league career. These shirts do not include original tags, but all remain fully intact and free of serious condition-related flaws. Chamberlain’s number “44” or “62” may be found handwritten inside several examples.
Collection of six 4" x 5" full-color film transparencies featuring Brooklyn Dodgers utility man George "Shotgun" Shuba. Shuba, who appeared for the Dodgers across seven major league seasons from 1948-55, was considered one of sportswriter Roger Kahn's "Boys of Summer"—key guys he felt were at the heart of both the Brooklyn Dodgers' success throughout the '40s and '50s and their deep connection to the borough of Brooklyn itself. Nicknamed "Shotgun" for his unique ability to blast line drives to all fields, Shuba's greatest moment in the majors occurred in Game 1 of the 1953 World Series when he became the first National Leaguer to launch a pinch-hit home run in a World Series game. All six of the included transparencies have been captured sometime between 1952 and 1955, as evidenced by the presence of numbers on the front of Shuba's uniform, which the Dodgers first introduced in 1952. Four of the six images appear to be staged at Ebbets Field, with the remaining two presumably captured at Dodgertown in Vero Beach, FL. where Brooklyn trained in the spring. Six original color transparencies total, consigned to us from Shotgun Shuba's personal collection.
2010 Minnesota Twins home jersey issued to and signed by southpaw Brian Duensing (no LOA provided but signature does appear to be authentic). Duensing has applied his signature in black Sharpie within the number "5" on reverse of this white pinstriped top. A commemorative "2010 Inaugural Season" patch rests on the right sleeve referencing the Twins' home ballpark, Target Field, that opened for the first time that season. Our research indicates this jersey is likely the same worn by Brian Duensing during a May 26, 2010 appearance against the New York Yankees based on loose threads visible at the outer edges of both the "T" and "W" on his chest (we have included an image from Getty within this listing for reference). Discovered among material once belonging to former reliever Joba Chamberlain who was Duensing's college teammate with the Nebraska Cornhuskers.

Joey Browner and some poor sucker from the San Francisco 49ers whose neck never twisted the same way again.
Joey Browner is making a speech and wearing his Minnesota Vikings Ring of Honor Purple Jacket.
One of my favorite Minnesota Vikings of all-time has passed away. Joey Browner played in an era where hitting meant making sure that the guy stayed on the ground for an extra second. He fully earned that Purple Jacket and his spot in the Vikings Ring of Honor. #SKOL
1889 Old Judge Moxie Hengel Baseball Card.

1953 Bowman Pee Wee Reese Card.

I agree that '91 Topps had some great shots, even though Stadium Club was marketed as having better-quality photography. I got back into Stadium Club with the 2023 issue. I have pretty much stayed away from the '24 and '25 issues.
Juan Gonzalez 1991 Topps Stadium Club Baseball Card.
Jim Eisenreich 1991 Topps Stadium Club Baseball Card.
Pat Combs 1991 Topps Stadium Club Baseball Card.
Jack Clark 1991 Topps Stadium Club Baseball Card.
Maybe not a popular take.
1991 Stadium Club was special when it first came out, but the photography has not held up well over the years. The colors seem dark and muted.
