Needs more Ken Phelps though

Was a lot of fun picking a favorite Griffey for every decade - rookies in '89, lots of fun inserts in the 90's, the rise of Upper Deck in the early 2000s, and then Transcendent taking it home in the 2010s and '20s.

Thanks for sharing the journey with me. I don't think I want to know the baseball fan who doesn't love The Kid.

Last time I did a post of 2025 Topps Chrome that you could buy for the cost of one hobby box. This time we'll bump it up to a hobby jumbo and these are the singles you can get for the same price.

Downside: no rips! Ripping packs can scratch a certain itch.

Upside: get exactly what you want, and mail day is amazing! 📬

Didn't like the price he got and cancelled as soon as the auction ended. I was more than happy to take that feedback from 100% to 75% 🫡

Wrapping up the week with a random assortment including the only auto I pulled out of the three blasters.

Through June 11 Nick Kurtz's 15 home runs this year have traveled a combined 5861 feet. Pick a number between 15 and 5861, closest guess by 8 PM tomorrow night gets the lot.

Thanks for playing along this week!

BOO! HISS! 🐍 Dodger giveaway day. Kyle Tucker has 17 career errors and 1495 career putouts. Guess a number between 17-1495, closest by 5 PM tomorrow night gets the lot.

A couple of green /99s in the mix tonight. McNeil has 1451 career total bases and 8 career postseason games; pick a number from 8-1451, closest by 5 PM tomorrow night gets all four.

Pete Rose had 4256 career hits and 1 lifelong gambling problem - pick a number between those two, closest guess gets all six cards. Going til 5 PM tomorrow night.

Another night, another Chrome Platinum giveaway. Fred Lynn had 1960 career hits so pick a number 1-1960. Closest guess gets all four. Ends tomorrow night at 6 PM. One guess apiece please, no repeat winners.

Ripped three blasters and now I've got a pile of stuff that I don't really want or need 😅 so I'm giving it away in a few small batches.

Batch 1 - awesome HOF pitchers. Nolan Ryan finished his career with 5,714 strikeouts. Drop a number in the comments between 1 and 5,714. Closest guess by 10 PM tomorrow night can have all three.

This fun little guy is an *ironclad guarantee* that your glass cards will never, *ever* break.

People forget this strategy I feel.

These cards altogether were the same price as one hobby box. The lesson as always - buy singles!

Will have a follow-up post soon to equate to the cost of one hobby jumbo box.

If he doesn't hire me as a latex salesman I hope there's at least some sort of an apprenticeship
