Baines, Lee Smith Headed to the Baseball Hall of Fame
Oh come on. Mariano Rivera, and probably at least Edgar Martinez, are being inducted this coming summer. The crowds will be enormous for those two. A huge crowd of White Sox fans will also be there to support Baines. Sure, the majority of baseball fans and experts disagree with the Baines'... -
Baines, Lee Smith Headed to the Baseball Hall of Fame
You mean the Tim Raines that has a higher career WAR than Tony Gwynn? Yep, he certainly deserves his induction. -
Baines, Lee Smith Headed to the Baseball Hall of Fame
What a joke. Even Baines himself said he was in total shock. He was good but never great. No one considered Baines a Hall of Famer during his playing days. He was the ultimate stat compiler. He had 2,800+ hits, but only once did he have more than 173 hits in a season. He had almost 400 homers... -
Awesome 80s Edition in current Beckett
Someone shot some video of the articles: -
Cardinals Acquire Paul Goldschmidt For Weaver/Kelly/Young+
Ugh, not only do I hate it when teams are basically forced to trade away their franchise player, especially one as beloved as Goldy, but what the Diamondbacks got back in return is an insult to everything he’s accomplished the past six seasons. -
Question about 2004 Bowman Chrome
Here's the thread I remembered: https://www.freedomcardboard.com/forum/showthread.php/53622-2004-Bowman-Chrome-Felix-Hernandez-auto-cut-smaller And this one you made 8 years ago is similar but went in a different direction... -
hope im not violating some rule .....
Can’t you just unlock it since you’re a Super Moderator? It looks like another mod just locked it by accident. -
The oddest card-related thing happened to me today...
If you have packs left unopened, record a video of you opening them, clearly showing they’re sealed, and forward it to Topps. Open one in front of Walmart’s manager too and try to get the distributor’s information. They probably won’t believe you without proof. Or maybe you hit a hot box of... -
Question about 2004 Bowman Chrome
Yep, I have an ‘04 BC Felix rookie auto that’s a touch smaller and it’s always bugged me because I know 100% it’s not trimmed. I remember a thread about this on here a while back but I can’t find it. -
Awesome 80s Edition in current Beckett
Might be the first Beckett I've bought in several years. But why are issues $10? Ten bucks for a freaking magazine? -
still very very slooooooooooow
Yeah, it’s often slow for me too. Especially when I’m replying to a thread. By far the slowest site I visit. And I mean any site. Frustrates the hell out of me sometimes, but I’ve been coming back since day 1. -
HALL OF FAME WHO GETS IN
Rivera and Edgar will get in, and possibly Halladay in his first try. I'd also vote for Helton, Schilling, Walker, Mussina and give a homer vote to Michael Young. -
Adrian Beltre announces retirement.
As a Rangers fan, it's sad to see him go, although I knew it was coming. Beltre ranks 16th all-time in hits with 3,166 and passed Ichiro for the most hits by a foreign-born player. He also won six Gold Gloves, four Silver Sluggers, hit 477 home runs with 1,707 RBIs and ranks 38th all-time in... -

How do you feel about manufacturer cases being protected and/or left in place?
I don’t like the cases, especially the ugly sticker seal they put on it. Looks crummy and takes away from the beauty of the card. I store most of my good cards in 9-pocket pages anyway, so when I buy any of those encased cards, I bust them open. I’ve even cracked open several PSA and BGS... -
1990 Donruss Bo Jackson Diamond Kings Redone i Explanation
Cool that it’s only visible under UV light. Your dedication to this set is impressive. Always liked the red borders and script at top. -
'52 Mantle PSA graded up. But Ummm?
Nah, looks like it was kept loosely in a wallet and just rubbed against the leather or bills for a long time, causing the even wear. I used to keep an old Star Wars card in my wallet when I was young and it looked similar to the Mantle after a year or so. -
Mattingly "help invent" 90's Wild Card Football cards
A wonder how much (or little) a master set would be worth today. -
Will Mauer be the first player with a Rookie Auto to make the Hall of Fame?
I don’t think Mauer is as slam dunk of a Hall of Famer as some people think. His career is very similar to Don Mattingly’s, in that he had a 6-7 season peak of great seasons, except Mattingly was a much better all-around hitter. Mauer hit for average and that was about it, except for one odd... -
Bryce Harper - Where does he play in 2019?
ESPN's reporting the Yankees don't want him. Good. He's had one great season. I know he's only 26, but he's not worth what he's asking until he can string together several awesome years. -

"Today's Era" Committee HOF nominees released
I thought for sure Lou Whitaker would be on the ballot since his longtime double play partner Alan Trammell was just elected. Out of the players, I think Albert Belle is most worthy. His 10 full season stats are incredible, and he only retired early because of a back injury, not because of a... -
How old is vintage?
Pre-1973 because that's my birthdate and I refuse to be called vintage. -

Ron Darling uses slur in reference to Masahiro Tanaka
What's incredibly stupid about this nonsense is that the people "outraged" don't realize that Darling himself is part Chinese. His mother is Hawaiian/Chinese.
