How did you pick your screen name?
It's based on my COMC name which I pulled out my behind. And RIP magicpapa. -

1998 Flair Showcase - Perfect 10 Insert Set
Anyone have a big hurt to spare? That one has eluded me since like forever. -

What was the deal with the 1996 Stadium Club Bronze/Silver/Gold player cards?
I vaguely remember making this topic. Since then I've bought the gold redemption of Greg Maddux. It's a beautiful thick metal card with a shiny glassy coated surface. -

Just bought a couple 80s 3D Kelloggs set and am considering returning them.
Today's peeve. I bought a "complete" glossy 1988 Topps Rite Aid set of 33 cards only to find out 7 of them are dups. Among the big missing names are Boggs, Mattingly, and McGwire. Dups of Gwynn, Raines, and scrubs. It's not like the set was sealed. The seller could have checked to make sure the... -

Last big rip of the year, nice '24 A&G box
I was hoping Archives would be your last big rip of the year. I'm pessimistic about it even coming out.- zyceoa

Which of these familiar 80s & early 90s "inserts" did you like the most?
This is my first poll ever here so I hope I'm doing this correctly. And I use the term insert lightly. -

Just bought a couple 80s 3D Kelloggs set and am considering returning them.
I decided to bite the bullet and buy some replacements on COMC. I focused on the ones with the surface scuffs and bought about 25 from one seller who had most of them on sale for 59 cents. Apparently the cards from 1981-83 were only available as complete sets via mail in offer. So I'm guessing... -

Just bought a couple 80s 3D Kelloggs set and am considering returning them.
I spent $70 on 1982 and 1983 sets that were considered "mint". I went through the sets and the corners were top notch. But then I began to see "bubble marks" on the top or bottom center of some of the cards. And then the main issue was some surface manufacturing blemishes that I'd consider... -

Today's discovery: 1989 O-Pee-Chee "World Series" subset
I was already familiar with exclusive O-Pee-Chee cards not found in their Topps counterpart such as 1988 Blue Jays/Expos draft picks and the 1992 Gary Carter tribute subset. On a side note, Leaf had a few "Canadian Greats" Diamond Kings style cards from 1985-88. Anyways, I was thumbing through... -

Looking back, I'm sure that's the year we all want to forget. -

An ode to Reggie Jackson's first serial numbered auto!
So I stumbled upon a old SGC baseball card almanac and came across this: In 1984, Renana Galasso Inc. produced a 30 card set featuring Reggie Jackson. The backs of many of the cards show part of a puzzle of all of Jackson's Topps cards produced up to that point. The set was limited to 10,000... -

2023 Topps Archives Hobby Box. Decent autos.
I'm sure you know the drill. The primary designs for this product are 1956, 1965, and ugh 2003. 24 packs per box with 2 guaranteed on card autos. So here's the gist of the break... Notable RCs: Corbin Carroll, Gunnar Henderson, Anthony Volpe, Jordan Walker Rainbow Foil Parallel #/199...- zyceoa

Would it be wiser to put cards and sleeves upside down in toploaders?
I'm going to send a handful of late 90s inserts/parallels to COMC in top loaders including a 98 PMG and a 99 Fabulous 40s Extra, but am wondering if it is better to put them and the sleeves upside down. I just know every now and then cards I buy on ebay end up slipping out of the sleeve and the... -

Topps Flagship Collection Boxes
Give them credit for actually having an original design for the flagship cards. When I bought a series 1 super box, every exclusive has the same design as the base cards. Even the enamel pin. Nice heavy lumber insert, BTW. Reminds me of the firebrand insert from 1997, I think. -

Hobby box of 2023 Topps Big League
I was hesitant to buy a box of this for reasons I'll mention later, but there's hardly anything else this year I'm looking forward to (except Archives), so I finally caved in. Anyways, 18 packs per box with 8 cards per pack. Now the goodies... Notable base: Ronald Acuna Jr, Aaron Judge, Julio...- zyceoa
