They don't wait to have surgery. They pitch through discomfort and pain routinely provided it's medically unremarkable. They pitch, then have their rest period and off-day workouts and assessments. Same thing during Spring Training - they shake the rust off and get back into the rhythm, and they...
Hi Ron, it's possible to do this on a budget. You just need hi-resolution scans of the baseball cards you want displayed. You might find them online, or you might need to bring some cards to a print shop and have them scanned. Then you can have them printed at poster size and framed. Most places...
They just sent me the three cards to end the wait. I didn't authorize any subs. I did get an email a few months prior saying Panini was going to fulfill redemptions with replacements whether we like it or not, so I wasn't completely shocked. I made several calls to Panini over the years and...

Just throwing in my two cents... I'd personally consider the misprint a variation and gladly add it to my collection as is. How many of them would be graded and labelled a 1999? This is probably a 1/1!

Now, have this as an alternate emblem for a special in-season event? Absolutely, I'm down for that. This is the...
Love this! I'm doing a deep dive to see if I can find anything. The presence of an ISBN number on the card links it to the book, but I'm not finding anything yet. Very cool. Imagine if there were a rare Ichiro or Pujols rookie in this set!
Dave Stenhouse played for a local adult baseball league in my small town in the 1950s, then went on to be the first rookie to start an All-Star Game. I volunteer for the team and I interviewed him for our program two years ago. I'd love to get his rookie but he shares it with Jim Bouton making a...
