Here is my biggest card that I have gotten.  Stinks it is a sticker auto,  I dont think its a huge card, but I like it.  I have a few bowman speculative ones that are currently worth more I think



I started to slowly gather Vintage cards too

If I stumble across some Thome cards I’ll send them your way.

Phillies/Padres was terrific.   Went from perfect game potential to no hit potential for Nola.   Those vanished and then we had a bottom of the 9th 2 out Padres home run. Then a wild ending in the 10th.

Anybody going to watch the KidsCast?

Can’t be worse than the usual squad.

Ryan Mountcastle finally feeling himself...  ROY?

F Me In The Brain

I'm biased but India has been better this year and a meaningful player for a team pushing for playoffs.  

Tyler Stephenson is better than them both but he is stuck platooning with Tucker B given his stellar defense/work with pitchers, so Tyler's numbers look weak until you do it based on # of ABs.

I think Trevor Rodgers or Adolis Garcia win ROY, though

No real breakout in Mountcastle?  Dude has 23hrs.

India's numbers are better.  Tyler Stephenson shouldn't even be mentioned if you aren't playing every day.  The numbers can't support that.

Rogers has no shot.  Missed time too.

American League Arozarena woke up it seems.  I followed him the first month or two and he stunk it up.  Give the ROY to him and India.

23 HRs is certainly impressive for the rook.

I think Rogers has a shot, think he is back soon.

Dude has thrown 110 innings of 2.45 ERA ball. 

If he pitchers throughout Sept and puts up another 30 innings, keeps his ERA under 3?

Damn impressive, especially for that dogmeat team.     

Stephenson is really good but yeah, he is blocked by a 2x gold glover in front of him to make him split time.  Otherwise I think he would have it locked down, he can really hit.

This should be great. A 30 for 30 on the 1986 Mets. I was shocked they didn't do one in 2016 for the 30th anniversary......

This was a crazy time in NY.  This was the team that was supposed to win MULTIPLE championships but they partied too much.

There was fan man, storming the field after winning the pennant, the "Lets go Mets go" video they did(during this era if your team made a song they won, lol) to when they won and Orosco flinging his mitt so high in the air.

Crazy time, oh and it wasn't all Buckners fault.  Boston was collapsing just fine without him.

Buckner got such a bad rap. The Mets were the better team. And the Red Sox bullpen blew it in both games 6 and 7 (people forget, the Sox led 3-0 in game 7). If anything was fluke in that series, it was the Sox taking games 1 and 2 on the road. The Mets couldn't hit in game 1, and Gooden got rocked in game 2. Otherwise, the Mets were better every step of the way.

Yeah sign me up for that for sure

Everyone forgets one other thing.  If (RIP) Donnie Moore doesn't hang that pitch Halos are in and they beat the Mets.  That I do believe but that part of the story gets left out.  me being an Angels fan I remember watching that series like a hawk.

Hold on now...that was game 5 of the ALCS. So yeah, while the Angles could've won right it there, they also could've won either game 6 or 7 instead of getting trampled in both games like they did. And if they got trampled in those games, and blew game 5 (wasn't just Moore's fault, the Sox scored four runs in the 9th to tie it), how can believe they could've beat those Mets? I think the Mets would've beat the Angels in 5 or 6 games. 

Underrated series though, that Sox/Angels series. And actually, so was Mets/Astros. Probably one of the best baseball postseasons ever.

Will they talk about crazy/young Kevin Mitchell?
Recall there was a story about him decapitating a cat 
So many fucked up stories about the 80s Mets and their craziness.

That HR demoralized the Halos.  Plain and simple.  That was the reason Donnie took his life.  That haunted him.  I forgave him the second after it happened, because hey, it happens.  They couldn't rally the troops again though but yes, the momentum they had, they could have beat the mets.

Witt, McCaskill, Langston, Rhule, Sutton, Forsch, Candelaria, Finley.  The pitching staff was stacked!  Moore was one if not the best closer at the time.

Grich Decinces, Joyner, Boone, Reggie, a very young Devon White and Brian Pullem only Downing.

It was a great crew much like the Mets.

It’s been tough taking a glance at baseball cards after 25 yrs out.  A lot of limited colors, jersey swatches, autos, etc.  Everything gets graded now too.  I’m looking at a few just as souvenirs.  

It’s a limited edition world just like vinyl.

You can get cheap souvenirs in cards very easily.  BTW whomever was the Thome fan on here please DM me.  Bat cards, jersey cards can all be had rather cheaply.  The prettier and colorful the card is and whom the player is all commands price.

You can get a bat card of Babe ruth for $100 or you can pay $5000.

For just cards you can go with the flagship[ brand Topps.  They have a series 1 & 2.  Both can be bought right now at target, the whole set for like $50.  Every player from this year is in there.  Great bang for your buck.

Let me know what you are looking for and I can steer you in the right direction.
