@Passion4Baseba1 @JustinStirewalt @UsefulFoma @gbennettpost @BaseCardsRule @RetroCardSnaps I created an "extension set" a couple years back. I added 20 cards, including Berra & a new checklist.

@JustinStirewalt @UsefulFoma @wthballs @gbennettpost @BaseCardsRule @RetroCardSnaps What? 63 Fleer Yogi? Why have I never seen this?

My dad started with Maz & Bobby Richardson. He kept BR & traded me Maz. With help from @UsefulFoma & others, the 1963 Fleer Baseball set build is complete! Thanks to @wthballs, we have Series 2 & a pair of In Action cards. A wrapper is a "maybe one day" item. Until then, enjoy!

@JustinStirewalt @UsefulFoma @gbennettpost @BaseCardsRule @RetroCardSnaps FANTASTIC!!!

@stevieBurgers @roselleavenue @USPS Nevertheless the ESE service is NOT for bubble mailers.

@RobertTalisse Heard "Someone's Calling" by Modern English at Stop & Shop here in Somerset, NJ. That was a couple years ago and I still can't believe it.

Hearing The Cure’s “The Lovecats” at the local corporate coffee shop shop is a vibe

@AKABrewersBeat 1000% in agreement my friend....

Cards less than the cost of a modern blaster box. I’ll choose this every single time.

@QuinnSJordan Personally, I feel this is the nicest looking auto sub-set Topps has ever done. Perfect in every way. Beautiful cards!

This might be a dumb question…I have these 2 auto’s from same 2003 Topps set. Are there other Great 8 auto’s from this set?

"An Ode to a 12 year old and his Macmillan Baseball Encyclopedia"...

Up on the blog today, how about my "missing" 1975 card for Mick Kelleher? A revisit from 10 years ago: whentoppshadballs.blogspot.com/2026/03/revisi… @astros @70sBaseball

@yanxchick Indeed. Request personal data. I did it two years ago (member since Feb. 1999), had all my purchases and sales sent to me as a compressed zip file. Sadly it wasn't sortable or in any logical order.

Is there a way to check all-time ebay purchases?

@LememeJames Alteration 100%

Is this harmless "cleaning" or does this cross the line into "alteration"? What do you think?

@goth_videos "Stripped"

Black Celebration by Depeche Mode was released on this day in 1986, 40 years ago. What’s your favorite song or songs on the album?

Happy Monday all. On the blog today, a "missing" 1972 card for pitcher-turned-outfielder Bobby Darwin: whentoppshadballs.blogspot.com/2026/03/not-re… @Dodgers @70sBaseball

@jrdesignsinc @TwinsAlmanac ✌️

@wthballs @TwinsAlmanac Ty sir!

Here's a cool Tom Kelly card from @wthballs

@TwinsAlmanac @NegroLeagueMan I've been a fan of Phil for quite some time! Never had the pleasure of "meeting" him. Hello Phil!

Doesn't appear so. And this Tom Kelly wasn't in the actual 1970 Topps set. It's a card created by @wthballs using the 1970 Topps design. Gio, do you know Phil here? He was heavily involved in the Ted Williams Card Co. sets. I don't know what all he did exactly, but he wrote all the bios on the backs of the Negro Leagues cards.

@jrdesignsinc @TwinsAlmanac These are wonderful!

@TwinsAlmanac @wthballs That's awesome. I've done quite a few Pilots/Brewers customs.

This is great!

Let’s see some rookie cards today!
