RIP MagicPapa!!
Sad news. He made the FCB community a better place. Condolences to his family and friends. -

Is Topps serious ?
That card said "FUN FACE". That is likely a digital alteration (I hope). I mean I really hope that someone did not intentionally alter the N to be a K and then squished a C between the U and N. -

Is the National worth it for player collectors?
Definitely go, if nothing more than the experience and to drool over all the museum pieces that Heritage, REA, and other auction houses bring to the show. -

Is the National worth it for player collectors?
I wasn't able to attend this year but in prior years it's been quite hit and miss. My primary PCs are Alan Trammell and Jack Morris. I go with a goal of being able to pick up 1-2 cards from the DLP golden years of 2003-2005 and have been relatively successful. I also really enjoy digging... -

Minnesota Card Show - St. Paul River Center (4/19-4/21)
Went to the card show on Saturday. Show was well attended and there was a decent mix of dealers. As always, I was looking for cards to add to my Jack Morris and Alan Trammell collections. Didn't see much but was able to pick up a low-numbered Morris card from 2023 Donruss that I didn't have... -

Target one day 20% off sale 4/11…
Picked up 3 Hertiage Megas. Finally arrived yesterday and ripped 1st one after getting home from MN Card Show. Thankfully, my 1st Mega didn't have any collation issues like have been reported with the Hobby boxes. Pulled a couple nice Gunnar inserts (base and foil Baseball Sensations) and... -

Minnesota Card Show - St. Paul River Center (4/19-4/21)
When I was living in Chicago in the '90s and '00s, I think I got spoiled with the National and the Sun-Times shows. I've traveled to the National a few times since moving to MN but the added expense and time has limited the number of big shows I've been to recently. That said, I'm excited for... -

Thanks for the info. Picked up a few things. -

Somewhat Embarrassing Find - A's 1/1
Thanks for the laugh. As a 25 yo who was a 6th round pick, I figured he was basically a common from the jump. The card is definitely gray and fits with other Metallic 1/1s but I had a hard time finding info on it. -

Somewhat Embarrassing Find - A's 1/1
At various times, there have been discussions about the potential for not identifying a big hit when busting wax. Whether it be an unnumbered SSP or just a card that gets buried in the stacks of cards in a collection. Well.....2015 Bowman got me. I was organizing cards last weekend and grabbed... -

Wander Franco done…
If the reporting is accurate, it's just sad...ugly...bad. And then I think about it as a parent and it makes me angry. As for cards, I hit Wander base autos in both Topps Chrome and Chrome Update and still have them. -

2023 Prizm
I like it as well. The only issue I have is that 2023 is twice as difficult to complete as it has both my PCs included (Jack Morris and Alan Trammell) compared to 2021 which only had Morris though it does appear there are fewer parallels in the 2023 set. -

2022 Topps Chrome buybacks of Judge & Goldschmidt
The buyback program certainly went well for me. I think most of us would agree that 2022 Topps Chrome had many, many problems. But I like Topps Chrome and as a Tigers fan was hoping that Torkelson was going to be included. Well, we know how that worked out. Anyway, not wanting to pay hobby... -

2021 Panini Prizm Velocity?
Thanks to @jszczech I now have 35 of the 40 Jack Morris cards in 2021 Prizm set. I am missing Gold Prizm /10, Navy Blue Cracked Ice /25, Red Shimmer /7, Teal Donut Circles /15, and Giraffe. I’ve seen the Gold Prizm and Giraffe but there were crazy BINs on them and I didn’t message the sellers... -

2021 Panini Prizm Velocity?
Wow! I guess I should have checked in during the past year. PM incoming.
