The joy of transcribing interviews is reliving great conversations with great people. The misery of transcribing is, well, transcribing.

We bought 175 autographed cards from @CheckOutMyCards for kids who met different goals throughout the school year. I ordered with plenty of time and even paid for the expedited shipping option. Now they are already multiple weeks late, won't return emails, and if the order tracking is correct, there are currently 9,300 orders in front of mine. I am assuming there is zero chance I am getting these with a chance to deliver them.... So, as of right now, I am basically desperate. Does anyone in #thehobby have any idea where I can purchase some bulk autos in a relatively short time frame?

Thanks to all who continue to donate and make purchases from us - Last night our city experienced a large water main break and they had to shut the water completely off. This morning we were able to make the rounds delivering drinking and bathroom water to local senior citizens in our community. Funding, as always, comes from those purchases. #thehobby @ryanfagan

@1992Pirates luckily i'll have a few days. very exciting!

@ryanfagan I don’t think I can make it this year. But it’s awesome. You’ll have a lot of fun. I tried to cram it into one day the last time that I went. I did it, but I think it would be more enjoyable to spend 2 days.

Who's going to be at The National this year? I've long wanted to go, but it never worked out. That changes this summer (sweet!). Absolutely cannot wait. If you're going to be there, hit me up!

Busy day for us! #thehobby @ryanfagan

The environment has changed. Counterfeits are more frequent, more sophisticated, and harder to spot than ever. The 2025 Fraud Report details what PSA is seeing across the hobby and the systems helping protect collectors. psacard.click/Fraud-Report-x

Had the pleasure of sponsoring a Mother’s Day project for a local like skills classroom. Bonus, we got to spend time with them this morning arraigning flowers for their moms. Funding, as always, comes from #thehobby. @ryanfagan

Back at the ballpark for Brewers-Cardinals today! If you want a FREE junk wax pack or a Brewers/Cardinals card, just let me know (reply/DM) and head up top toward the press box.

Catchers are better at ABS challenges than batters, which isn’t really a surprise. But is that making hitting — already tough considering the velocity and movement from today’s pitchers — even tougher?

stephsmithphoto.pixieset.com/seniorportrait… This years senior portraits have made their way back from our photographer! All sitting fees and prints are free of charge thanks to the wonderful generosity of our dear friend Stephanie Smith and #thehobby. When you make purchases or donations this is the type of community project(s) you are funding! @ryanfagan

@bschaeffer12 @StefanCaray Per StefCast

@StefanCaray Per Statcast, or...?

Next gen stats you won’t hear about: Wetherholt has a leadoff HR for every “J” in his first name so far this year.

@mikeyBcards Love that you're doing this! Greg at @Canscanministry does more for kids with baseball cards than anyone I've ever seen. Would be great if you could send a couple of these boxes his way! I'm happy to help with the shipping costs, too.

Do you run a Card Club for Kids? Have a school/teacher that uses cards for clubs? I want to hook you up! I’ve created multiple boxes of base cards from football, basketball, baseball and entertainment cards and I want to get them in the hands of kids in the hobby! I’m not looking for anything in return, I just want to help grow the hobby. I’ll take care of all the shipping costs. I’m sorry I do not have tcg/Pokémon and I can’t separate out by sport. Boxes come as they are and each box has a TON of cards. Also huge shoutout to @blakejamieson who sent along some cool cards from his collaboration with @Topps to add to each box. So if you are a part of kids collecting please respond to this tweet. Give me a follow so I can message those that are chosen to get shipping info. Ideally I’d like to get these out this week! If you’ve received a box from me before I’m happy to hook you up again! While I made a bunch of boxes I might not be able to get something to everyone. I try my best to share the love. Thank you to the Mikey B Crew for donations as well. Please RT or tag whoever might be interested!

It’s a Wednesday walkthrough of the Resource Center. We are up stocking shelves getting ready for our next open date! #thehobby @ryanfagan

Today, we were able to provide a new bed for a child who was removed from his home and placed in care. Funding, as always, comes from #thehobby @ryanfagan

We have a huge need for some cards specifically Cardinals, Marlins, and Padres - both for fund raising and giveaway purposes. #thehobby @ryanfagan

Our photographer has arrived! We are providing free portraits for our assisted living friends today. Funding, as always, comes from #thehobby @ryanfagan

It’s Part 1 of our free bicycle deliveries. We are out in local grade schools delivering new bicycles to kiddos in need in our area! Funding, as always, comes from #thehobby. @ryanfagan

We have a lot of different service projects upcoming - from our usual meal deliveries, Resource Center Dates to our special events like Free Senior Portraits, Champions League Events, Bike Giveaways and more. So much of our funding comes from #thehobby and while we love a good hustle, we would sure love to chat with any companies, breakers, vendors, etc that could help us serve even more individuals in need in our community! @ryanfagan

There's a long list of people I loved working with at Sporting News, and Mike D is right there up top. Friggin' legend in the college hoops landscape. And an even better person. #BeLikeMike, indeed.

you have no idea how happy this makes me!
