RIP FRANK ROBINSON
One of the most underrated baseball figures, both statistically and historically important, of all-time. -
Realmuto on the verge of going to Philly
It will be something if all of these young players the Marlins are stockpiling turn the team around. Jeter will either look like a genius or the devil to Marlins fans. -
Night Crew - Feb 2019! It’s as cold as Pete Rose’s Hall of Fame chances!
Rose turns 78 in April. There's no way he'll live to see it. Altuve is the only current player with a shot, with four 200-hit seasons and 1,400 hits in eight years, and he's still almost 3,000 hits away from Rose's record. That's insane. Not gonna happen. It's too bad Ichiro didn't start his... -
Is shipping $3.66 or $4.06?
Living in Hawaii, this new zone mailing system sucks. Priority mail prices also went up a lot. I understand the reasons though, but it's ridiculous how much it costs to mail a bubble mailer now. -
My 1958 Topps All Star Thread
I love those cards too. 1958 Topps was my Dad's favorite as a kid, so I've been slowly building the complete set over the past decade. I have all of the All-Star cards and the set's most expensive cards like the Maris rookie, Mantle, Williams, Mays, Aaron, Koufax, etc. Just need about 20 cards... -
1988 sets make history
1991 has more: Pedro Pudge Bagwell Mussina Thome Chipper -
Show off your favorite stuff of the new HOFers: Rivera, Martinez, Halladay and Mussina
Rivera and Mussina have such classy looking signatures. It's just scribbles and initials with today's young players. -
Show off your favorite stuff of the new HOFers: Rivera, Martinez, Halladay and Mussina
The Rivera and Mussina are TTM from Spring Training and the Martinez is in-person from a Rangers-Mariners game in 1990. -
Show off your favorite stuff of the new HOFers: Rivera, Martinez, Halladay and Mussina
Some great TTM signers in the new Hall of Fame class. I got Rivera, Mussina, Martinez and Baines through the mail when they were players. I'll post picks when I get home from work. Show off your favorite cards, autographs and collectibles from the '19 HOF class. -
Steroid Players and the HOF
Bonds will definitely show up. He wants the fame and attention and acceptance. The bigger question is, how many current Hall of Famers would boycott the ceremony? I don't think any would, but some will probably silently protest the election. There are most likely several steroid users already... -
Fast BV price please
Don’t know book value, but a search on eBay shows a few ‘11 Topps Attax foil Jeters both listed and ended for around $3 each. So book value probably $6-$10? -
Collection Centerpiece Acquired
I once saw an interview with Campanella in which he thought that he may have been held back from the Majors first because he was half-white (his father was white from Sicilly, and the name Campanella is as Italian as DiMaggio). Campanella said Branch Rickey considered him, but Rickey wanted a... -
Buying a T206 Wagner for a buck
Reading old newspaper articles is funny because they give everyone's address in the article. One of those illustrious collectors is Roy E. Fisher, now a resident of 3823 West Broadway... A.H. Tarvin of 623 Third Street is another avid collector of rare cards.. Imagine if they did that today... -
Auto identification help needed, please

t-206
I have one, Doc Adkins. There's a member here, Scottopatamous, I think it's spelled, who has almost the complete set, missing just the few big ones like Wagner, Plank and a few others. I haven't seen him post in a long time. Members like Pete D., Junior Griffey and others have big T206... -
State Sales Tax for select States on Ebay
Here’s the information on eBay’s site. So far it affects people in eight states, but it says “Additional states will be added to this list at a later date.” https://www.ebay.com/help/selling/fees-credits-invoices/taxes-import-charges?id=4121#section4 -
Favorite Player to Retire in 2018
Andre Ethier was my favorite current player, ever since I met him in AA Midland back in 2005. I'd talk to him often before games and he gave me two of his bats and I have a big collection of his in cards and autographs. (Ethier's name is misspelled in the poll.) I love Beltre too, as a Rangers... -
Would you consider this the hobby's very first baseball sketch card?
No, for the logical reason that mrmopar wrote. And that sketch looks more like Alex Cora than Alex Rodriguez. I get why they used that artist, because of his history as Topps' cartoonist, but he was a bad artist for realistic faces. Those sketches look very amateurish, although there are far... -
Starting to hate Topps and collecting.
It's funny how you often write about your experience with your local minor league team in threads that have nothing to do with what you write. I like reading about your relationship with the team and players though. -

21% of the HOF ballots have already been made public, according to http://www.bbhoftracker.com So far, several players are over 75%, Rivera, Halladay, Martinez, Mussina and Schilling. And Clemens and Bonds have over 70%. Walker has 65%. It's still very early, and the results could change... -
HOF 2019 Discussion
I'd vote for Rivera, Edgar, Schilling, Halladay, Walker and Helton. No one else has mentioned Helton, not even as a borderline candidate?
