My first ever Frozenfractor, and probably the coolest card of the set as I'm trying to build out the Stowers rainbow. I haven't been able to find any red /5s anywhere, no rush though.
I want to apologize if we were ever doubting you, Andy.
I'm not apologizing for my slander and I stand by the criticism I saw from a lot of us. Before yesterday you were, after all, statistically the worst playoff hitter in Dodgers history. Your dismal AVG, RBI, OPS and other stats put you as the 589th worst offensive player out of 590 players in history (with 80+ postseason at-bats).
So the frustration was valid.
But if anyone doubted you could come through for us in a big moment again, that was a mistake.
Keep this momentum going - on to the NLCS!!!
Recently traded some basketball cards with them, everything was great! My cards arrived quickly and in perfect condition. Thanks for an excellent trade!!
Did a 1-for-1 trade with this user and it was great! I received my card quickly in perfect condition. Thanks for a great trade!!
The Freddie is the only hit from this entire rip that I'm definitely keeping for the PC.
2 relics and 2 autos, I can't be disappointed with that 🤷♂️
**EDIT: 18 hanger boxes, I can't do math
Pretty bummed about the level of choking these past two games. But pulled this nice surprise from my last unopened blaster this morning. Good luck for us?? 🙏
Every weekend when I drive the 8, without fail, there's some Arizona car camping in the left lane driving slower than the other lanes and not passing anyone. Do they just teach Zonies to immediately get over to the left or something? I can't figure out why it seems to ALWAYS be an AZ car doing this and being completely oblivious
Baseball guy, former D2 infielder and dad to a Rookies 6yo and I have to be honest, I'm pretty bummed on the state of baseball and youth sports in general.
I come in here and see a bunch of posts all asking, essentially, "what's wrong with my kid?" or "how do I fix this 8yo kid's launch angle/barrel rate???"
Seriously, how many videos do you see of a little kid who's barely old enough to write their name, hitting a really nice drive into the outfield, and the post is "how do I make him bring his hands in more" or "how to make this kid stop pointing his toe at the pitcher and losing power" etc.??
Yes, I KNOW this is a sub for advice on all things ball, but just felt like a rant. There's a fine line between enjoying the game and making it into something the kids don't even like doing.
Lastly... none of your kids are making it to the bigs, so maybe focus on letting them be kids for awhile. 🤷♂️
Huge fan of Bobby and I've never had a pro model glove, so even though all I do is play catch and assistant coach a 7yo little league team I thought "eh what the heck."
Now time to try and break it in.
Got these relic cards in today with thanks to u/zub_dub22 for a great Reddit transaction. I've posted before how I accidentally started collecting the newer cheap/basic relic inserts, and I think they're really cool so I decided to keep growing it.
The Machado /25 is extra nice, and I'm shocked how thick this one was - a noticeable step up from the base cards.
Recently updated TCDB with a bunch of newer pickups, and my Hyeseong Kim PC is now at #1. Here's what it looks like!
Secondly - I'd love any advice / ideas on how to display the Inception 2/2 Relic Book, as well as the nicer cards like the autos, and other Inception cards. I plan to put most of these cards in a binder, but those ones are obviously way too thick...
That Braves series was absolutely gutting. Sharing one of my favorite new Dodgers cards for good luck... fingers crossed our bats can really wake up!
How do we feel about this?
I find it disgusting and the latest wrong move by an increasingly greedy ownership.
I liked being "Dodger Stadium" and our 60+ years of not having corporate naming rights on our ballpark. But hey, I guess nothing says baseball like "Uniqlo Field."
Now, we're eliminating the "Gold Glove Bar" name so we can rebrand it after a predatory gambling company?
I feel like this is going to curse us. I hope not, but just watch.
Why am I particularly outraged about this one? Kalshi is one of the most harmful companies on earth, and the hypocrisy of MLB for even pretending to care about sports betting while greenlighting this shit in every stadium is astounding.
Yeah, Pete Rose deserved to be banned... anyway want to grab a drink before today's game at the FanDuel sports bar before walking to the BetMGM sportsbook and risking your paycheck on how many times Cal Raleigh will scratch his ass today? If not, all good — just tune in for the post game show brought to you by DraftKings.
Kalshi, Polymarket, DraftKings etc are all causing irreparable harm to young people - particularly young men.
Kalshi in particular has created a particularly potent form of gambling-like behavior, made it extraordinarily accessible to young adults, wrapped it in the fake language and aesthetics of "investing" and internet culture, and is aggressively promoting it to the demographic most vulnerable to gambling-related harm: young men.
The concern is especially significant because online sports betting among Americans under 30 has more than doubled in just three years—from 7% in 2022 to 17% in 2025, and 28% of men under 30 now report placing an online sports bet in the past year.
Meanwhile, nearly half of all people contacting the National Problem Gambling Helpline in 2025 were ages 18–34, and online/app-based gambling accounted for 31% of reported problems, up from 23% just one year earlier.
Kalshi is aggressively expanding gambling among a generation already showing clear signs of elevated risk, and here we are putting their name all over our historic stadium.
So yes, I'm pissed.
If you've seen my other posts, I always make custom team packs to give away when my 7yo and I go to ballgames. Yesterday I went to see Padres - Twins and I wasn't able to find a home for the second pack of Twins cards I made. It's 8-9 base cards, a base Team card, 6 random inserts, and then also a few inserts/base of other MLB players.
FREE to someone who wants them! It's a fun pack for a kid. I'll randomly pick from anyone who comments here - let me know if you have a kid or nephew/niece, or a student, who might appreciate them! 🙂
Yes, these are the paper napkin (jersey swatch) / drink coaster (wood bat) relics many people complain about. I love them!!!
Most are not worth much, but I think they look great and make a really nice set to PC on the side. Years from now I think this will be a cool set to look back on. Thoughts?
It's the worst set of the year by any stretch, in terms of inserts, value, card quality, etc... But in my opinion Stadium Club has THE best photos of any set out there. The cards are just COOL to me.
This was from 2 blaster boxes - nothing special but I'll add them to my SC binder.
Need help and advice! Recently switched from a OnePlus 12 to a 15. Love the phone but one issue is driving me insane.
When connected to my Lexus via Bluetooth, the audio constantly "skips" or stutters about 4-5 times per minute. Some notes:
- My old phone, and my wife's Samsung, do not have this problem at all
- My phone does not have this problem in a different car (Honda) and does not have this problem in my Bose earbuds
- I've tried everything you can think of from the car side
- My old OnePlus had this issue a long time ago but changing the AVRCP versions around seemed to fix it.
- I've tried changing all the Bluetooth settings around in Developer Options but can't seem to fix it.
- BIGGEST DETAIL AND WHY I'M SURE IT'S THE PHONE: The issue isn't there if my phone is ONLY playing audio. But if it's running Maps, or getting texts, or when I open the phone to look at something, it almost always makes the audio skip.
Thanks for any troubleshooting advice!!
All for the PC. A huge value card is always nice to get but there's something fun about a mail day that's all across the board like this 😁
